%A Somaini, Laura %D 2020 %T Regulating the Dynamic Concept of Non-Personal Data in the EU: %! Regulating the Dynamic Concept of Non-Personal Data in the EU: %X <p>The article explores the dynamic concept of non-personal data and the regulatory approaches within the EU legal framework. <italic>De lege lata</italic>, this article critically assesses the issues arising from Regulation (EU) 2018/1807 on the framework on the free flow of non-personal data, focusing on the definition of non-personal data and the data porting principle. While the legislator’s shift from ownership to control is endorsed, the relevance of a framework targeting solely non-personal data is questioned in light of data protection concerns. <italic>De lege ferenda</italic>, this article submits that a comprehensive approach should broadly consider overcoming binary data categorisations. For the purposes of the FFD Regulation’s evaluation, evidence-based reflections are suggested.
