# Data portability — Take your contacts and email consent anywhere — Runner

> Runner creates a versioned, read-only export of your contacts with the source, email consent state and opt-out state already attached to each one. It reports; it never rewrites what it reports. Nothing is usually bought for this job — it is a support ticket.

**Built into Runner**

- Contacts with their email consent and opt-outs, in one versioned export
- Where each contact came from, carried with it
- A read-only snapshot that leaves the live record untouched

**Worth knowing** One export covers one product's contacts, read in a single request — check its row count against your directory — each carrying the email consent state already on its record — including unknown where no basis was recorded — and any opt-out. Permission for calls and for each messaging channel is kept separately and stays out of the file.
