User Data Protection Act: Your Personal Information is Your Digital Property

This law fundamentally changes online data usage by establishing personal information, including habits and preferences, as the exclusive property of the user. Digital platforms cannot track or collect your data without explicit consent, and they cannot deny you service if you refuse tracking. If you consent to data collection, the platform must disclose the economic value of that information.
Key points
Mandatory cookie acceptance is banned; platforms cannot restrict access if you decline tracking or data collection.
Your personal data is legally recognized as your exclusive property right, giving you control over its use and value.
Platforms must disclose the economic value of your data and how it will be used before obtaining your consent.
Citizens gain the right to sue platforms directly for violations of these data protection rules.
