According to the Data Liberation Front, creators of the service say, “Google Takeout lets you take your data out of multiple Google products in one fell swoop. Moreover, you’ll find that all your data is in portable and open formats‚ so it's easy to import to other services quickly.” They go on to add that since they began in 2007, the Data Liberation Front has been focused on one thing to make it easier for users to take their data in and out of Google. They say that their first step was to make it easier to get users data out of Google products, one product at a time.
