Obligations of public sector bodies, the Commission, the ECB and Union bodies
Precise reading
Receiving bodies: purpose-bound use, security, no reuse beyond the request, destruction when no longer needed, protection of trade secrets, and no use to develop competing products or share with such developers.
A summary of the operative demand, not the statute.
Plain reading
The state is held to stewardship rules too: purpose, protection, deletion.
