The EU Data Act: Compliance with Confidence
The EU Data Act is reshaping how data is shared and used across our industry. For many businesses, it brings both opportunity and responsibility.
At Trackunit, we believe that compliance shouldn’t feel overwhelming. That’s why we act as your Data Act Assistant - helping you understand your role, remain compliant, and unlock the benefits of data sharing in a secure and trusted way.
Understanding the Roles in the Data Act
The Data Act introduces several key roles that define how businesses handle machine and usage data:
Data Holders are organizations that generate or control access to data. For example, OEMs who build machines.
Data Recipients are parties entitled to receive data under the Act, often third parties who analyze or consolidate data.
Data Users are customers or businesses who use the data in daily operations, such as rental companies or contractors.
Most organizations will play more than one role. For example:
An OEM may primarily act as a Data Holder but also be a Recipient or User in certain cases.
A rental company may mainly act as a User but also be a Recipient, depending on how they access machine data.
Trackunit’s Role: Your Data Act Assistant
Our mission is to support your role and simplify your compliance journey:

For Everyone: We simplify assigning, respecting, and complying with roles without unnecessary complexity.
