Chapter 7 analyses the right to data portability set out in Article 20 of the GDPR. It first provides an overview of several commercial and regulatory initiatives that preceded the GDPR version of the right to personal data portability. Next, it explores the language of Article 20 to demonstrate the effects of the narrow scope of the right. The chapter then shows how data portability interacts with other data subject rights, particularly with the right to access and the right to be forgotten, before it describes manifestations of data portability in legal areas outside of the data protection law. Finally, the chapter explores the specific objective of the right to data portability under the GDPR as an enabler of data subjects’ control.

The right to data portability applies only to personal data provided to the controller by the data subject himself, and only if the processing was initially based on the consent of the user or on the basis of a contract. Most cases when students or their parents submits their personal data to educational institution are cases covered by this right, moreover, in most cases, those are sensitive personal data.In the context of the right to data portability, data subjects directly transmit data from one data controller to another where technically possible. The regulation does not specify what is meant by “technically feasible”. The wording indicates that this should be addressed on a case-by-case basis and a dynamic interpretation of the term "technically feasible" should be ensured. This is limited because the Regulation does not oblige data controllers to accept or maintain compatible processing systems. In case with educational institutions and students’ opportunities to change the study place including mid-school year it’s important to identify problems with data portability and facilitate the transition process to get student into the new study environment and system faster and more effective.For this purpose, the author identifies main problems and challenges that educational institutions can face when they act as a data controllers. The subject of the research is the relationship between the data subject (students) and the data controller (educational institution), implementing the right to data portability.

This chapter focuses on the rights and remedies that individual users of cloud computing services may enjoy under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It begins by considering the concept of the individual as 'data subject', which is inextricably linked to the concept of 'personal data'. The term 'data subject' is not defined explicitly in the GDPR. Instead, it is referenced in parenthesis within the definition of personal data. The definition of personal data is purposefully broad so as to include the vast range of information from which an individual may be identified. The chapter then explores the rights afforded to data subjects, including the right to be informed; the rights of access, rectification, and erasure; the right to data portability; the right to object to processing; and the right not to be subject to automated decision making, including profiling. Finally, it looks at the remedies and compensation available to data subjects. One of the biggest challenges to data subjects knowing and being able to exercise their rights is a potential lack of transparency with regard to how and by whom their personal data are collected and further processed in the cloud.
