Abstract:
The entry into force of the European Union (EU) Data Act 2024 creates new opportunities for the European data market, but also new challenges. One such challenge is the parallel application of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is therefore necessary to analyse these two regulations and their consequences for the players in the Smart Home sector. To this end, the Smart Home sector and its relevant players are analysed and potential conflicts between the EU Data Act and the EU GDPR are identified. One such conflict arises in the management of personal data from multiuser environments. In the Smart Home in particular, several users share different devices, such as smart TVs, and thus generate mixed data sets that are not compliant with the regulation. If a member of the user community wishes to transfer their data to a third party in accordance with their rights guaranteed by the EU Data Act, the third party must be able to ensure that the transferred data are not also the personal data of another user.
