Privacy Enhancing Technologies

Which of the following functions can satisfy data-portability requirements for social-networking apps in certain jurisdictions?

  • A Allow users to modify the data they provided the app
  • B Allow users to delete the content they provided the app
  • C Allow users to download the content they have provided the app
  • D Allow users to get a time-stamped list of what they have provided the app
Explanation

Data portability requires that individuals be able to obtain the personal data they provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transfer it to another controller. A download function provides the necessary user-accessible copy of that content; modification and deletion instead correspond to separate rectification and erasure rights.
