The initial Commission's proposal (COM-DCD) included a provision that extended the scope of the Directive to cases where the consumer actively provides, in exchange for digital content, counter-performance other than money in the form of personal data or any other data. 94 It follows that data which qualify as 'metadata' will trigger protection only if the exchange of such data against digital content/services is specifically recognised under domestic law as a 88 COM-DCD, recital 14: 'As regards digital content supplied not in exchange for a price but against counter-performance other than money, this Directive should apply only to contracts where the supplier requests and the consumer actively provides data' (emphasis added). ./cache/cord-032763-cdhu2pfi.txt ./txt/cord-032763-cdhu2pfi.txt
