The latest Version 12 of the Data Act FAQ brings game-changing updates—especially in how data portability is handled. Compared to Version 11, the new FAQ:

Expands Real-Time Data Access – Users (both individuals & businesses) can now access and transfer any data (personal & non-personal) from connected devices in real-time—without legal restrictions!
Goes Beyond GDPR – Unlike GDPR, which limits portability to personal data under certain legal grounds (e.g., consent or contract), the Data Act ensures unrestricted access & transferability.
Makes IoT Switching Easier – Users can seamlessly move their data between service providers, making interoperability a priority across connected ecosystems.
Clarifies Technical Standards – Data must be structured, machine-readable, and compatible with industry-wide interoperability requirements.

Compared to Version 11, which only touched on data portability, Version 12 ensures businesses and users have full control over their data—eliminating unnecessary barriers and unlocking a truly connected IoT ecosystem.
