The two preceding paragraphs shall not apply to the extent that such treatment is necessary:  

the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;  

to comply with a legal obligation which requires the processing provided for by Union law or by the law of the Member State to which the controller is subject, or to carry out a task in the public interest or within the public authority of the controller;

When the User exercises his right to data portability in application of the preceding paragraph, he has the right to obtain that the personal data are transmitted directly from one controller to another, where this is technically possible.  

The exercise of the right to data portability shall be without prejudice to the right to erasure. This right shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or falling within the exercise of public authority vested in the controller.  

The right to data portability does not affect the rights and freedoms of third parties.

When personal data are processed for prospecting purposes, the User has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him for such prospecting purposes, including profiling insofar as it is related to such prospecting.
