Accredited Data Recipients without a Software Product

The following questions relate to Accredited Data Recipients (ADRs) that do not have a Software Product.

Question

What values should the Data Holder (DH) expect for data_recipient_brand_ID and software_product_ID fields when they call the ADR API on the CDR Register.

Answer

DHs should expect empty arrays for data_recipient_brand_ID and software_product_ID fields.

Question

Which ADR APIs are impacted? 

Answer

Only the Get Data Recipients API is affected.

Question 

What is the impact on the Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) of the ADRs?

Answer

None. There is no impact on the Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) of the ADRs.

Question

What is expected to change in responses from the CDR Register to the ADR? 

Answer 

The arrays for data_recipient_brand_ID and software_product_ID fields may be empty. The Consumer Data Standards (CDS) imply that this is possible, hence any software solutions built in accordance with the CDS must be tolerant to this.

Question

What is expected to change in the requests and responses from ADRs to DHs?

Answer

Nothing.  It is only the calls from the DH to the CDR Register that are affected.
