The Right to Data Portability (law)

The Right to Data Portability is a legal concept that allows individuals to obtain and transfer their personal data from one organization to another easily. Essentially, if you use a service, you have the right to request your data in a standard format. This means you can move your information—like contacts, photos, or preferences—from one platform to another without hassle. It promotes user control, encourages competition among businesses, and helps people switch providers while keeping their important information. This right is part of privacy laws like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
