Right to Data Portability

The Right to Data Portability allows individuals to transfer their personal data from one service provider to another without difficulty. For example, if you decide to switch social media platforms, this right ensures you can take your photos, contacts, and preferences with you. This fosters competition among companies and gives users more control over their data. It is an essential part of privacy regulations, like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), aimed at enhancing consumer rights and promoting a more open digital ecosystem.
