Have you finished the process of accounts deletion or data removal? How long did it take?

Was it tiresome going through every “data protection officer” mail of companies while requesting for data removal?

How have you monitored the progress and checked if they removed your data?

Are you strict with new account creations nowadays?

    Is there a typical process you used to request deletion when there is no obvious way?

    I am in the US and my state does not have rules that require it anyway so I am not certain if I can make them do it anyway?

    What brings this up for me is I am changing my email address. Some places do not even offer that. Plus good time to clean up.

      Usually I just send an email template asking them to delete my data per the GDPR (I’m an EU citizen). I’m not sure if you can force them to delete anything if they don’t have to by law, but I guess asking is free.

        I envy you. The US is often terrible when it comes to individual rights and protections.

        On the other hand, the stupid cookie notices triggered by EU regs are aweful. What a blunder.

        I guess it can go both ways.
