  • Data portability
    • The right to data portability allows data subjects to move, copy or transfer personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without hindrance to usability.
    • It enables consumers to take advantage of applications and services which can use this data to find them a better deal, or help them understand their spending habits.
    • The right to data portability only applies:
      • to personal data a data subject has provided to a controller;
      • where the processing is based on consent or the performance of a contract; and
      • where processing is carried on by automated means.
    • You must provide the personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable form (e.g. CSV files).
    • If the individual requests it, you may be required to transmit the data directly to another organisation if this is technically feasible.
    • You must comply with the data subject’s request free of charge and within one month. This can be extended to 2 months where the request is complex or if you receive a number of requests.

  • Object
    • Data subjects have the right to object to:
      • processing based on legitimate interests, the performance of a task in the public interest or the exercise of official authority (including profiling);
      • direct marketing (including profiling); and
      • processing for scientific/historic research or statistics.
    • You must inform data subjects of their right to object as soon as possible.
    • Where the data subject objects to direct marketing you must do so immediately. There are no exemptions or grounds to refuse.
    • Where a data subject otherwise objects to you processing their personal data then you must comply with this request unless you can demonstrate overriding compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing or that the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
