What is Right to data portability?

The right to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format and reuse it — or have it sent to another provider.

Data portability lets individuals get the personal data they provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and transmit it to another controller.

It applies where processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means.
