Protected

As set out in the EU Data Governance Act, ‘protected data’ refers to categories of data protected on the grounds of statistical confidentiality, commercial confidentiality, intellectual property rights of third parties and personal data protection. This data may be made available for reuse providing certain conditions are met and the data’s protected status is upheld. This data catalogue serves as a single information point where public sector bodies can list ‘protected data’ holdings and potential data reusers can make a data request.
