Depressing but thanks for the help :/

This is sad, but thanks for the insight

It shows the message too

If i dont consent though they cant sell my data to ad companies, right?

I would like to but I have no idea what to write in it. Also, based on previous interaction with my DPO at the time of the reddit fiasco (and if I’m not mistaken as per the GDPR) I first have to attempt to contact the entity holding my data before filling in a complaint form. Furthermore as I have stated in another comment, I have completely lost faith in my country’s DPO after having to go through them for reddit’s non-compliance with the GDPR, and honestly believe they are just incompetent and don’t fully understand the laws their entire position was created to defend.

Very helpful reply, thanks for that…

I have little faith in my country’s data protection officer who is responsible for handling stuff like this. I had to deal with them while making a complaint about reddit not complying with the GDPR by not allowing me to remove upvotes/downvotes in a reasonable manner, and also after manually deleting all my posts and comments there were still 2 comments that show up on my reddit profile only if it is viewed “signed out” (i.e. from an incognito browser), but not while I am signed in to the account. There is no way to delete them from within my account. The reply I got from them after several months was that since there was no identifiable data in those 2 comments and since after deleting the account it would show up as u/deleted that my case was closed.

The incompetence of my government officials (more so than any other country) would be a laughing matter if I wasn’t so angry about the whole situation.

tl;dr: My country’s data protection officer and office is a joke and I have lost faith in them to be able to handle anything. I am considering going directly to the Irish DPO if that is who meta ultimately answers to.

This seems to work for now. Thanks

Where can I find a good example of a GDPR compliant email to request any and all my data that they have, to request it to be deleted, and to delete my account?

Keep in mind they will bring some stuff back, slowly and sneakily, so my advice is keep the account for a while so you can keep an eye on (and control over) your stuff. If youre in the EU send them an email gdpr request to delete your data. When they invevitably reply with the copy pasted “click this link to read about how you can delete your posts and comments” simply answer back that it is legally their responsibility to do it and youre not doing shit. Tell them if they dont comply you will be lodging a formal complain with your country’s data protection officer (again, if youre in the EU), as I did when they brought back some deleted content for the third time.
