A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

    For now, I do not want to announce the name of this company publicly.

    If they don’t want to solve it amicably, then I will do so.

      They already said they don’t want to.

      They asked you to install the app on purpose, in hopes that you’ll decide it’s too much hassle and decide not to delete the account.

        Think of the poor corporation! If they get punished for their illegal buisness practices, it’ll hurt the economy and people will be less inclined to start a small buisness. Didn’t you study piss down economics?
