Article 32c

General requirements for registration of recognised data intermediation services providers

  1. In order to qualify for registration in the public Union register referred to in Article 32a paragraph 1 point (a), a data intermediation services provider shall meet all of the following requirements:

    1. (a)

      they do not use the data for which it provides data intermediation services for purposes other than to put them at the disposal of data users;

    2. (b)

      the data they collect with respect to any activity of a natural or legal person for the purpose of the provision of the data intermediation service, including the date, time and geolocation data, duration of activity and connections to other natural or legal persons established by the person who uses the data intermediation service, are used only for the development of that data intermediation service;

    3. (c)

      where they offer additional tools and services to data holders or data subjects for the specific purpose of facilitating the exchange of data, such as temporary storage, curation, conversion, encryption, anonymisation and pseudonymisation, such tools and services are used only at the explicit request or approval of the data holder or data subject;

    4. (d)

      where data intermediation service providers which are not micro and small sized enterprises offer value-added services to their clients other than the services referred to in point (c), they fulfil the following conditions:

      1. (i)

        the value-added services are explicitly requested by the user;

      2. (ii)

        the data are not used for other purposes than performing the value-added service;

      3. (iii)

        the value-added services are offered through a functionally separate entity;

      4. (iv)

        the undertaking seeking to offer the value-added services is not designated as a gatekeeper pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2022/1925;

      5. (v)

        the commercial terms, including pricing, for the provision of data intermediation services to a data holder or data user are not dependent upon whether the data holder or data user uses value-added services provided by the data intermediation services provider or by a related entity;

    5. (e)

      the data intermediation services provider offering services to data subjects acts in the data subjects’ best interest where it facilitates the exercise of their rights, in particular by informing and, where appropriate, advising data subjects in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible manner about intended data uses by data users and standard terms and conditions attached to such uses before data subjects give consent.

(b) the data they collect with respect to any activity of a natural or legal person for the purpose of the provision of the data intermediation service, including the date, time and geolocation data, duration of activity and connections to other natural or legal persons established by the person who uses the data intermediation service, are used only for the development of that data intermediation service and only in so far as such use adheres to the principle of user control referred to in Article 4(11), including, where applicable, the user’s consent or explicit request. This provision shall not preclude manufacturers or other relevant economic operators from accessing such metadata for the purposes of fulfilling their legal requirements under Union law;
Justification

Authorising data intermediation service providers to use metadata for the benefit of their own development without providing suitable user controls would contravene the principle of control enshrined in Article 4(11). Only authorising data intermediation service providers to access metadata would undermine the level playing field. SMEs may also need to access metadata to comply with Union requirements such as the General Production Safety Regulation. Clarifying this would prevent legal fragmentation and ensure that SMEs continue to comply with Union legislation.

(iii) the value-added services are offered through a separate legal person. SMEs/SMCs may offer value-added services through a functionally separate entity;
Justification

This amendment reverts to the original wording to preserve the independence of data intermediation services. In a highly concentrated cloud market, allowing providers to act as intermediaries may create conflicts of interest. The requirement for a separate legal entity ensures functional separation, transparency and effective oversight, thereby fostering trust and fair competition.

This amendment addresses concerns expressed in the EDPB-EDPS opinion. The Proposal does not specifically justify the reason for exempting small and micro enterprises entirely from the functional separation requirement.
