I want to move my data to another service

Step-by-step legal guidance hasn't been verified in Gaeilge yet, so it's shown in English below. The interface is in Gaeilge.

  1. Have you asked the service to export or transfer your data?

    No, not yet

Under Article 20 GDPR you can receive the personal data you provided to a service in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (e.g. CSV or JSON) — and have it transmitted directly to another provider where technically feasible.

Honest scope note: the right covers data you provided (profile, uploads, activity you generated), processed by automated means on the basis of consent or contract. It does not cover everything the company inferred about you — for that, use an access request (Art. 15). The generator below drafts the portability request.
