Which chapter of the Data Act reaches you?

Article 2(5): a product that obtains, generates or collects data about its use or environment, and can communicate it. Placing one on the market makes you a data holder under Chapter II.

Article 2(6): a digital service, software included, so connected to the product that its absence would prevent a function. Its provider is a data holder too.

Article 12(1) puts Chapter III's terms on that sharing wherever another act requires it: fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, and transparent conditions.

Article 2(12): a user owns the product or holds the right to use it. A user may ask the data holder for the data, and may have it shared with a third party under Article 5.

Article 2(14) calls that a data recipient. Chapter III sets what you may do with the data and Article 6 what you may not.

Article 2(8). Chapter VI is the switching chapter: the contract terms of Article 25, the duties of Articles 23 to 26, and the end of switching charges.

Article 36 puts essential requirements on the vendor of such a smart contract: robustness and access control, safe termination, data archiving and continuity.

Recommendation 2003/361/EC. Article 7(1) excludes Chapter II's obligations for a micro or small enterprise, and for a medium one in its first year as a medium one.

Article 7(1) withholds the exclusion where the enterprise is linked to a larger one or subcontracted by one, so the size on its own does not settle it.
