Data Governance Act: common logos to easily identify trusted EU data intermediaries and data altruism organisations to re-use data

The Commission has introduced common logos to easily identify trusted data intermediation service providers and data altruism organisations in the EU, which will connect data holders, both individuals and companies with data users.

Identifying trusted data intermediation services and data altruism organisations is part of the implementation of the Data Governance Act. The data intermediation services and data altruism organisations  that satisfy the conditions enshrined in the Data Governance Act and opt for the use of the logos, will have to display the logo clearly on every online and offline publication. The use of these logos at EU level will differentiate the recognised trusted services from other services, contributing to transparency in the data market.

The logo for data altruism organisations recognised in the EU must be accompanied by a QR code with a link to the EU public register of recognised data altruism organisations, which will be available as of 24 September 2023.

The logos have been adopted through an Implementing Regulation and will be registered as trademarks, to protect them from improper use.

Data is a powerful resource that can fuel innovation across Europe’s industrial ecosystems. The Data Governance Act aims to make more data available by increasing trust in data-sharing and tackling technical barriers.
