the con­trol­ler is car­ry­ing out the auto­mated pro­cessing of the data; and

b.

the data are be­ing pro­cessed with the con­sent of the data sub­ject or in dir­ect con­nec­tion with the con­clu­sion or the per­form­ance of a con­tract between the con­trol­ler and the data sub­ject.

² The data sub­ject may also re­quest the con­trol­ler to trans­fer their per­son­al data to an­oth­er con­trol­ler if the re­quire­ments in para­graph 1 are met and no dis­pro­por­tion­ate ef­fort is re­quired.
