EU Data Act compliance, challenge by challenge

Every compliance obligation maps to a specific capability in the Dativo platform. Here's how we address each regulatory requirement.

Articles 3–4: Making product data accessible to customers

The foundation of the Data Act: customers who purchase connected products have a right to access the data those products generate. Manufacturers must make this data available without undue delay, in a structured and machine-readable format. Dativo operationalizes this obligation end-to-end.

Platform Workflow

  • Register equipment install base with unified identity resolution
  • Map datasets to equipment types and configure data sources
  • Onboard customers to self-service portal
  • Automated fulfillment with SLA tracking

Article 4(3): Protecting trade secrets while sharing data

The Data Act acknowledges that product data may contain trade secrets. Article 4(3) allows manufacturers to withhold or restrict data that would expose trade secrets — but only with proper classification, economic damage justification, and confidentiality agreements. Dativo provides the tools to protect your IP while remaining compliant.

Platform Workflow

  • Classify datasets as trade secrets with justification
  • Create and manage withholding records
  • Generate and track confidentiality agreements
  • Conditional data access with trade secret protections

Articles 5–6: Third-party data sharing

Customers can designate third parties to receive their product data. Manufacturers must facilitate this sharing while ensuring fair compensation and preventing competitive misuse. Dativo manages the complete third-party sharing workflow, from authorization to fulfillment.

Platform Workflow

  • Customer-designated third-party authorization
  • Data scoping and access provisioning
  • FRAND compensation terms management
  • Pre-contractual transparency disclosures

Regulatory readiness & audit

Supervisory authorities can request evidence that your data sharing practices comply with the Data Act. Every action in Dativo is logged with timestamps, actors, and legal basis — creating an audit trail that demonstrates compliance to regulators.

Platform Workflow

  • Real-time compliance dashboard
  • Complete audit trail with actor attribution
  • Regulatory export in standardized formats
  • Compliance gap analysis and recommendations
