Abstract: Abstract EU regulations and business result in a growing awareness of the benefits of inter-organizational data sharing. However, data sharing is often hindered by obstacles such as potential data misappropriation and perceived risks that outweigh possible benefits. One mitigation strategy is using a data trustee—a neutral data intermediary—that addresses these challenges and ensures secure and trusted data sharing. These data trustees uphold the rights of the data provider and give the data user legal assurance and clarity about what they are allowed to do with the data they obtain. Data trustees are still a novel phenomenon, and only a few are operating in the market. In our paper, we shed explore the characteristics of data trustees through a business model lens.
