This edited volume explores EU private law and the Data Act. With insights from leading academics and practitioners, it brings welcome clarification to, and expert explanation of, a fast-moving field of consumer law. With a view to practice, the book deals with the new EU data law, which contains uniform, directly applicable regulations for fair access to data and the use of data. The contributions are based on one of the first specialist events on this topic, which brought together representatives from legal science, legal practice, business and politics. The book covers the mandatory data exchange in the relationship between data owner, user, and data recipient; the voluntary data exchange on a bilateral basis; and cloud contracts.
