data portability
Moving your data
Data portability is the ability to move personal information from one service or platform to another.
The concept emerged with digital privacy regulations requiring companies to let users export their data in usable formats: The new law guarantees data portability for social media accounts.
It implies not just access to your data but receiving it in a form that other services can actually use.
