Which right under the GDPR allows individuals to obtain and reuse their personal data across different services?

  1. Right to Access

  2. Right to Erasure

  3. Right to Data Portability

  4. Right to Restrict Processing

The correct answer is: Right to Data Portability

The right that allows individuals to obtain and reuse their personal data across different services is the Right to Data Portability. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this right enables individuals to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. It also empowers them to transfer that data to another data controller, facilitating interoperability between different services and enhancing user control over personal information. This right is particularly significant in a digital economy where consumers may wish to switch service providers without losing access to their personal data, ensuring that they maintain continuity and choice in how their data is used. The emphasis on allowing individuals to move their data underscores the GDPR's intent to strengthen personal privacy and control in the digital landscape.
