(14) Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the right to data portability is limited to data processed based on consent or contract and provided by the data subject to a controller. Additionally, under that Regulation, natural persons have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another only where technically feasible. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), however, does not impose an obligation to make that direct transmission technically feasible. The right to data portability should be complemented under this Regulation, thereby empowering natural persons to provide access to, at least, priority categories of their personal electronic health data to the health professionals of their choice, to exchange such health data with such health professionals and to download such health data. In addition, natural persons should have the right to request a healthcare provider to transmit a part of their electronic health data to a clearly identified recipient in the social security or reimbursement services sector. Such a transfer should be one-way only.
