The EU Data Act requires cloud providers to facilitate customer switching and data portability. You must remove technical and contractual obstacles to switching, provide data export tools, and phase out switching charges.
Switching charges must be progressively reduced and eliminated by 2027. You should begin planning now to avoid last-minute compliance pressure.
Functional equivalence means exported data can be used on another platform with similar functionality. You must make reasonable efforts to ensure customers can use their data elsewhere.
You must provide tools and assistance for data export and switching. While you do not have to perform migrations for free, you cannot create unreasonable obstacles.
Contract terms that unfairly restrict switching or impose unreasonable exit costs are prohibited. Review your terms of service with legal counsel to identify problematic clauses.
Yes. Providers who embrace portability can differentiate on transparency and customer trust. The EU Data Act can be positioned as customer-friendly rather than just a compliance burden.
