Artikel 27 Verpflichtung zum Handeln nach Treu und Glauben

Summary What does Article 27 of the Data act regulation say?

This is a notably brief article that sets a general cooperation obligation on all parties involved in the switching process.

It builds directly on the more detailed switching obligations laid out in surrounding articles, acting as an overarching good faith principle to ensure that the switching process works in practice, not just on paper.

Important points:

All parties involved in a switching process, including destination providers of data processing services, must cooperate in good faith.
The cooperation must serve three aims: making the switching process effective, enabling timely data transfer, and maintaining service continuity.
This obligation extends explicitly to destination providers, not just the source provider of data processing services.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Alle Beteiligten, einschließlich der übernehmenden Anbieter von Datenverarbeitungsdiensten, arbeiten nach Treu und Glauben zusammen, damit der Wechsel effektiv vollzogen wird, Daten rechtzeitig übertragen werden können und die Kontinuität des Datenverarbeitungsdienstes aufrechterhalten wird.
