Service A may summarize your data and throw away the granular stuff, but service B runs on the granular data.&lt;p&gt;Are consumers going to implement ETL pipelines to achieve portability? Are they expecting to hook up streaming mechanisms for enormous swathes of data?&lt;p&gt;Just as an example, if I wanted to get a list of every song I liked on Spotify and import it into Apple Music, how would that even work? The songId of Spotify is undoubtedly different than the one Apple uses. Are Apple and Spotify supposed to agree on a common file format?&lt;p&gt;I agree with the intent of the law but I&amp;#x27;m not surprised most services do not offer an automated way to take out data. It&amp;#x27;s a rare case, often a heavy workload, and there&amp;#x27;s really no way to guarantee the data you receive is actually portable.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Data portability, the forgotten right of GDPR</title><url>https://www.alias.dev/report</url></story>

I remember asking to export my data from one of the services and the support pretty much ignored me (they replied in general but “forgot” to mention anything related to that question).</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Data portability, the forgotten right of GDPR</title><url>https://www.alias.dev/report</url></story>
