Intellectual property rights relate to the legal protection offered to innovative and creative materials. Given that if we speak about Open Data the IPR issue on data is in conflict with the openness we are tending to.

Service Providers should be transparent about the data management mechanisms they use to store-process-publish content. It is therefore important that they:

• must publicly disclose details on what data about users is collected and how the user statistics is tracked, managed and used for service improvement.
• must publicly indicate if they offer the mechanisms to apply data protection rules according to the General Data Protection Regulation, especially in terms of Data Protection by Design and Data Protection by default, using relevant shields and information.
