Hi all,
Looking for a bit of advise, or if anyone knows any legislation I can quote.
Firstly a little background, in the UK an individual has the right to data portability, what this means, is that if you are using a company and have put some of your data into their systems, they have a legal obligation to provide that data if requrested by the individual. Mostly so if that individual wants to use the services of another company, then the data can be more easily transferred.
I'm looking for some rights or legislation where that applies to a companies rights about their data.
e.g. Company A signs up with Sales Force or some other online CRM/Database, then after a period of time wants to move to a different providor, is there any legal right for the Company A to receive their own data in a format that can be reasonably read?
I'm amazed there isn't something but I can't seem to find anything, does anyone have know anything in this area? I can't believe that that a company could literally hold another company to ransom, by just saying no, you can't have your data?
Thanks in advance.
