Digital content and digital services are often supplied online under contracts pursuant to which the consumer does not pay a price but provides the trader with personal data. Directive 2013/11/EU currently applies only to contracts for which the consumer pays or undertakes to pay a price. Therefore, it excludes contracts for which the consumer provides personal data to the trader and does not pay a price. Given that there are contracts where the consumer provides or undertakes to provide personal data instead of paying a price, the definitions of sales contract and service contract should be adapted and the definitions of goods, digital content and digital service should be added.
