Because you were referring to GDPR I thought you meant something different than voting history, which is already available directly.

Only by some form of scraping, right?

@MartijnWeterings

The downside of GDPR is that such request might take up to 1 month. And possibly it might not be required in all countries.

In practice I think many requests go through automatically and are available quickly, but some require manual intervention and take a couple of weeks. At the moment StackExchange voluntarily make them available globally, but I could imagine that changing if they started losing significant users that way.

And, I don’t believe we should create a precedent that GDPR is being used for this ordinary purpose. (Although eventually it is gonna be that way anyway, companies creating fast and standard code to scrape all your personal data from their servers, and that might make them think about how much ‘private/personal’ information they actually store.)

Data portability is designed precisely for this purpose: moving the data you gave one site to another site. So it seems appropriate to me.

Anyway, just an idea for improving the transition model from S.E.
