How does one exercise their GDPR related rights?
<p>In May, <a href="https://gdpr-info.eu/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GDPR</a> will become effective and have a global impact on how personal data is handled.</p>

<p><a href="https://gdpr-info.eu/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Article 20</a> of the GDPR requires complying systems provide Data Portability. </p>

<p><strong><em>If a European citizen was to try and exercise the rights given by this Article for example, how would they go about it?</em></strong></p>

<p>The GDPR is implemented by legislation in each member state - there is no EU wide enforcement.</p>

<p>Individual citizens have no right to take action - they must report it to the regulator who will investigate and take action if they deem it appropriate. The UK regulator is the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/data-protection/make-a-complaint" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Information Commissioner's Office</a>.</p>
