Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) As regards digital content supplied not in exchange for a price but against counter-performance other than money, this Directive should apply only to contracts where the supplier requests and the consumer activeconsciously provides data for the content supplied, such as name and e- mail address or photos, directly or indirectly to the supplier for example through individual registration or on the basis of a contract which allows access to consumers' photos. The contract should explicitly indicate which data are given in exchange for the content supplied. This Directive should not apply to situations where the supplier collects data necessary for the digital content to function in conformity with the contract, for example geographical location where necessary for a mobile application to function properly, or for the sole purpose of meeting legal requirements, for instance where the registration of the consumer is required for security and identification purposes by applicable laws. This Directive should also not apply to situations where the supplier collects information, including personal data, such as the IP address, or other automatically generated information such as information collected and transmitted by a cookie, without the consumer actively supplying it, even if the consumer accepts the cookie. It should also not apply to situations where the consumer is exposed to advertisements exclusively in order to gain access to digital content. In relation to the processing of personal data provided or generated by the user, or collected in any other way, the supplier shall comply with the obligations applicable under Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 22
(22) The protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data is governed by Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council31by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and by Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council32 which are fully applicable in the context of contracts for the supply of digital content. Those Directivelegal acts already establish a legal framework in the field of personal data in the Union. The implementation and application of this Directive should be made in full compliance with that legal framework. _________________ 312 OJ L 2801, 23/11/1995, p. 31 - 50) [to be replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation, once adopted]. 3231.7.2002, p. 37–47.

Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 25
(25) In cases where the contract does not stipulate sufficiently clear and comprehensive benchmarks, adjusted to the consumers it is dedicated for, to ascertain the conformity of the digital content with the contract, it is necessary to set objective conformity criteria to ensure that consumers are not deprived of their rights. In such cases the conformity with the contract should be assessed considering the purpose for which digital content of the same description would normally be used and the legitimately expected technical standards which digital content of the same description would normally have.

Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 27
(27) While data-driven services and technologies bring significant benefits, they also create some vulnerabilities. As recognised by the Digital Single Market Strategy a high level of network and information security is essential across the European Union to ensure respect of fundamental rights such as the right to privacy and personal datathe right to the protection of personal data online and offline, to increase user confidence and strengthen their trust in the digital economy. As software becomes pervasive, qualities such as reliability, security and adaptability to evolving needs are also becoming a prime concern. It is therefore increasingly important that those data-driven services and technologies ensure that those qualities are guaranteed, to the extent that is proportionate to the role and function those technologies play. In particular, quality in terms of security and reliability is becoming an important concern for innovative, composite services that have to rely on the interconnection of diverse systems in different domains.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 37
(37) As a second step, the consumer should be entitled to have the price reduced or the contract terminated. The right of a consumer to have the contract terminated should be limited to those cases where for instance bringing the digital content to conformity is not possible and the non- conformity impairs the main performance features of the digital content. Where the consumer terminates the contract, the supplier should reimburse the price paid by the consumer or, where the digital content is supplied not in exchange for a price but against access to data provided by the consumer as a counter-performance for the digital content supplied or data produced by the consumer during the duration of the contract, the supplier should refrain from using it, from transferring that data to third parties or allowing third parties to access it after termination of the contract. Fulfilling the obligation to refrain from using data should mean in the case when the counter- performance consists of personal data, that the supplier should take all measures in order to comply with data protection rules by deleting it or rendering it anonymous in such a way that the consumer cannot be identified by any means likely reasonably to be used either by the supplier or by any other person. If personal data protection technics, such as pseudonimisation, as prescribed in the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 are used by the supplier, only after the request made by the consumer, the supplier should refrain from using these data. Without prejudice to obligations of a controller under Directive 95/46/ECRegulation (EU) 2016/679 the supplier should not be obliged to undertake any further steps in relation to data which the supplier has lawfully provided to third parties in the course of the duration of the contract for the supply of the digital content.

(38) Upon termination the supplier should also refrain from using the content generatproduced by the consumer. However, in those cases where more than one consumer generatproduced particular content, the supplier is entitled to continue to use the content generatproduced by the consumer where those other consumers make use of it.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 39
(39) In order to ensure that the consumer benefits from effective protection in relation to the right to terminate the contract, the supplier, on request made by the consumer, should allow the consumer to retrieve all data uploaded by the consumer, or produced by the consumer with the use of the digital content or generated through the consumer's use of the digital content. This obligation should extend to data which the supplier is obliged to retain under the contract for the supply of the digital content as well as to data which the supplier has effectively retained in relation to the contract.
