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?

    That reminds me, I might have to put in a formal complaint for a somewhat similar matter.

    Bought concert cards years ago, and was never able to unsubsribe from the newsletter. I sent requests to every mail address I could find, and never even got a response. Still got newsletters every now and then though.

    They also just make it unnecessarily hard to contact them, so at this point I’m not sure my messages even reached them, which hopefully is what explains their failure to comply.

      Depending on country there’s probably some regulator office which you can send a complaint to

        France in that case, so that would go to the CNIL. Though they want people to make an account to put in complaints online.
