Explanation
The right to data portability allows individuals (data subjects) to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another service or organization. This right, codified in regulations like GDPR (Article 20), empowers individuals to switch between services without losing their data. Data sanitization (B) refers to securely removing data; data limitation (C) relates to minimizing how much data is collected; and data protection (D) is a broad umbrella term, not a specific individual right.
