How does the right to data portability affect data sharing practices?

The right to data portability enables individuals to obtain and transfer their personal data between different services or platforms easily and securely. This promotes better data sharing practices by allowing users to have greater control over their information and the ability to switch between services without losing their data. By facilitating the transfer of data in a common format, it encourages interoperability and competition among service providers, ultimately leading to more innovation and consumer choice. At the same time, ensuring privacy is maintained through strict regulations and encryption mechanisms that protect the data during transfer, preventing unauthorized access or misuse.
