資料可攜性被定義為一個人有權利以結構化、常用和機器可讀的格式接收個人提供給資料控制者有關的個人資訊。資料可攜性允許個人在不同服務中為自己的目的獲取和重複使用他們的個人資訊。該定義被包含於歐盟的一般資料保護規定（General Data Protection Regulation，GDPR）第20條中，該權利僅適用於個人提供給資料控制者的訊息。
- Data portability is defined as “the right [of a person] to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine- readable format”. This definition is contained in Article 20 of the GDPR, which was the first legislative source establishing such right.
- The right to data portability allows individuals to obtain and reuse their personal data for their own purposes across different services.
- The right only applies to information an individual has provided to a controller.
