What is it about?
The Data Governance Act (DGA) is a European regulation (Regulation (EU) 2022/868) that introduces comprehensive rules regarding access to and use of - personal and non-personal - public sector data as well as third party rights (such as trade secrets and intellectual property rights). In addition, the Data Governance Act contains regulations on the activities of data sharing services (so-called "data intermediaries" or also data brokering services) as well as regulations intended to promote "data altruism", the voluntary sharing of data by third parties.
