Abstract
This paper examines the right to data portability as one of the new rights of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), its legal requisites and what data should and should not be submitted by a controller that receives a data portability request. It also analyses the ethos behind the right to data portability, how it comes at odds with the current status quo of data sharing and why it matters to fulfil the objectives of the European Single Digital Market.
