• Right of portability, i.e. the right to receive the personal data concerning her/him supplied to the data controller in a structured format, commonly used and legible by automatic devices and the right to transfer such data to another data controller without obstruction by the data controller to whom it was supplied, and also the right to obtain the direct transmission of the personal data from one data controller to the other, if technically feasible, if processing is based on consent or a contract and is made with automated methods.

If the personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, the person concerned has the right to object, at any time, to the processing of personal data concerning her/him carried out for that purpose, including profiling, to the extent it is connected with that direct marketing.

The person concerned is also advised that, if s/he believes their personal data is being processed in breach of the provisions of the GDPR, s/he has the right to complain to the Authority, as set out by Art. 77 of the Regulations, or apply to the appropriate Courts (Art. 79 of the Regulations).
