What it is

Salesforce publicly acknowledges that the EU Data Act took effect on September 12, 2025, and that it gives EU customers new rights to access, transfer, or delete their data held by Salesforce.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

EU Salesforce customers gained enforceable rights on September 12, 2025 to access, transfer, and delete their data under the EU Data Act — rights that go beyond prior GDPR portability provisions and apply specifically to data generated through use of Salesforce's connected products and services.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Review Salesforce's EU Data Act guidance to understand your specific rights to access, transfer, or delete your data, then contact your Salesforce account representative to exercise those rights.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The EU Data Act (Regulation 2023/2854) is enforced by EU Member State competent authorities designated under Article 37. It creates obligations for data holders (including cloud service providers like Salesforce) to make data accessible and portable upon user request, with interoperability requirements. It intersects with GDPR Article 20 (data portability) but extends beyond personal data to include non-personal IoT and cloud-generated data. Cloud switching obligations under Chapter VI of the Data Act are also applicable to Salesforce as a cloud service provider. (2)
