The Right to Data Portability: A Growing Challenge for Companies
Article 20 of the UK GDPR allows individuals to receive a copy of their personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
This typically applies when:
- Processing is based on consent or contract
- The data is processed by automated means
Examples include payroll records, client CRM exports, or user-generated content.
💡 Tip:
Standardise your export processes in advance — scrambling to produce machine-readable files under pressure is where mistakes happen.
