Description
It becomes increasingly clear that the objectives of privacy and competition policy are in conflict with one another with regard to platform data. While privacy policies aim at limiting the use of platform data for purposes other than those for which the data were collected in order to protect the privacy of platform users, competition policy aims at making such data widely available in order to curb the power of platforms. We find that current control- and ownership-based approaches are ineffective with regard to their capacity to balance these conflicting objectives and propose an institutional approach which makes platform data saleable. We discuss this approach in view of its capacity to balance the conflicting objectives of privacy and competition policy and with regard to its effectiveness in supporting each separately. Our approach also clarifies the fundamental difference between data markets and other concepts such as data spaces.

From Data Exchanges to Data Markets: An Institutional Perspective
It becomes increasingly clear that the objectives of privacy and competition policy are in conflict with one another with regard to platform data.

We find that current control- and ownership-based approaches are ineffective with regard to their capacity to balance these conflicting objectives and propose an institutional approach which makes platform data saleable. We discuss this approach in view of its capacity to balance the conflicting objectives of privacy and competition policy and with regard to its effectiveness in supporting each separately.
