Right to Switch Cloud Provider (Art 23-26)

The Data Act (EU) 2023/2854 grants users the right to switch cloud providers, obliging providers to supply data in a portable, machine-readable format and to enable secure transfer within a set timeframe. Articles 23-26 set conditions for interoperability, prohibit lock-in practices, and require clear information on switching procedures and costs. This provision aims to enhance market competition and user control over their data.
