Parliamentarians across Europe are more and more apprehensive about the practice of data sharing and are still considering whether the new data protection regime has gone far enough to protect users against the misuse of their data.  While the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in force for some time, the rules and regulations for processing and sharing personal data are [not completely set in stone](https://www.inlinepolicy.com/blog/enforcing-gdpr-will-make-data-regulators-clarify-grey-areas). Market practices have changed in light of more stringent rules on personal data sharing, but certain practices remain in dispute. In parallel, data sharing is taking its tentative first steps into new advancements in technology legitimised by new regulatory structures.  In this context, the [briefing paper](https://www.inlinepolicy.com/hubfs/Can-Data-Sharing-Survive-March-2019.pdf) looks at: - consumer-facing business adjustments; - future [EU rules](https://www.inlinepolicy.com/eu-policy-for-the-tech-sector) that will affect the legal basis for processing data; - the role of government in facilitating new data repositories; - greater emphasis on data categories and the unique rules of each; and - competing views on what users can ‘reasonably expect’.
