Data portability

Right to data portability (GDPR Article 20)

Updated

Data portability is the GDPR right of a person to receive the personal data they provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have it sent to another controller where technically feasible.

It applies to processing based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means; the EHDS extends it for electronic health data across care providers.
