data altruism organisation

Registered organisation enabling altruistic data sharing.

Definitions (2)

An organisation recognised under a national regime (aligned with the DGA concept) that collects or channels data voluntarily donated for public interest purposes and meets prescribed governance, transparency and security conditions for facilitating reuse.

Legal entities that collect or hold data and make them available for objectives of general interest (e.g., scientific research, public policy) on a voluntary basis, which may apply for recognition and registration on the national register and must meet governance, transparency and charter-publishing requirements. Registration provides recognition and enables participation in EU-level data altruism frameworks while preserving applicable data protection constraints.
