# Data Explorer

> One door event in an illustrative office building, followed from the reader on the front door to the cloud: who holds the data at each step, how many copies and companies there are, and what the EU Data Act and the instruments around it say the building’s owner is owed there. Also the UK, New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
