EU Data Act: what the data regulation changes for companies using cloud services and IoT devices

A cloud contract sets a three-month notice period, and a machine manufacturer shows sensor data only in its own portal. The Data Act changes both: since 12 September 2025 it gives users a right to the data their devices generate and requires contracts with a clear exit procedure from a cloud provider, and from 12 January 2027 it removes charges for the switching process itself.
