This right will give individuals greater control over their personal information, allowing them to request and obtain, from the organizations that collected it, their computerized personal information in a structured and commonly used technological format.

This legislative advance underlines the growing importance of transparency and accountability in the management of personal information, while promoting free market competition by facilitating the transfer of information from one service provider to another.
