Customer and Product Data Bill

Administrative matters - Designation regulations

100: Contents of designation regulations

You could also call this:

“Rules for sharing customer and product information”

The proposed law suggests rules about what can be included in designation regulations. These regulations might say who needs to share data, what kind of data they need to share, and who can ask for this data.

The regulations could say which people or groups have to share data. They could also say what types of customer and product information need to be shared.

The law might also set rules about what actions people can take with the data. It could create different levels of approval for people who want to use the data.

The regulations might also say who else can use the data besides the main users. These people are called secondary users, and there might be rules about who can be a secondary user.

When it comes to product data, the law says it can only include things like what the product is, who can buy it, how much it costs, and other information that’s usually available to everyone.

The law also explains how they might group different types of data users and the kinds of data they can access. This could be based on who’s sharing the data, who the customers are, what kind of data it is, or what people want to do with the data.

Lastly, the law says that if someone is going to have to share data, they need to tell the government about it.
