  7. Right to data portability – legal basis: Article 20 of the GDPR.
    You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to the Controller, and then forward it to another controller of your choice. You have also the right to request that your personal data be sent by the Controller directly to such another controller, if this is technically feasible. In this case, the Controller will send your personal data in the form of a file in .csv format, which is a common machine-readable format that enables the transfer of the data to another controller.

  8. Should you request to exercise any of the aforementioned rights, ŁAC will either satisfy the request or refuse to satisfy it immediately, but no later than within one month of receiving the request. Nevertheless, if – due to the complexity of the request or the number of requests – ŁAC is not able to satisfy the request within one month, it will satisfy it within the next two months, informing you previously, within one month of receiving the request, of the prolongation of the deadline and the reasons for it.
