Compliance with EU directives

EU Data Act

In compliance with Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2023, the following measures have been implemented in the Global Secure IoT Platform:

• An interactive interface has been implemented that enables users to grant or revoke access for third parties to receive their readily accessible data (along with the corresponding metadata necessary for interpretation and use). The data provided is identical in scope to that available to the data owner and is delivered in a complete, structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, continuously and in real time.

• For data transfers to Enterprises (where the third party is an enterprise), a REST API service has been implemented, enabling the transfer of user data in a complete, structured, commonly used, and machine-readable JSON format. This REST API serves as the foundation for negotiating data-sharing arrangements with recipients on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms and in a transparent manner.

• For data transfers to Individuals (where the third party is a private individual), an automated email service has been implemented. Data is delivered via templated email messages containing user data in a complete, structured, commonly used, and machine-readable CSV format.

• The Company does not impede the Customer’s ability to switch to another service provider (including entering into or terminating contracts, exporting data, or deleting data). Regarding data export, the system includes a “Data Export” mechanism.

• The Company is committed to ensuring compatibility with common specifications based on open functional interoperability specifications or harmonised standards for data processing services. This compatibility will be achieved no later than 12 months after the publication of references to such common specifications or harmonised standards in the Union’s central repository for functional interoperability of data processing services, following the publication of the relevant implementing acts in the Official Journal of the European Union.

• Timely data sharing with third parties is facilitated through the platform’s built-in services. Algorithms for smart contract integration are under development. The Company is prepared to develop tools ensuring functional interoperability with automated data-sharing agreement execution mechanisms—such as smart contracts—once the relevant implementing acts or harmonised standards are published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
