Abstract
The article examines the data altruism framework established under the European Union’s Data Governance Act (DGA) and its potential to foster trust in voluntary data sharing. The DGA, effective from September 2023, introduces legal measures to facilitate the altruistic sharing of personal and non-personal data for objectives of general interest, such as healthcare, scientific research, and disaster response. The study aims to evaluate the regulatory framework’s effectiveness in building trust, focusing on three key aspects: the potential recipients of altruistically shared data, the possibility of commercial use of such data, and the transparency of data processing activities. The findings suggest that while the framework offers mechanisms to enhance trust, its voluntary nature and potential implementation challenges may limit its overall impact.
