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?

Simply ask for the official company name, registration number and country as well as the prereree means of communication that they would like your local data authorities to contact them on.

Also make a 1 star review, stating that you are in talks with your local gdpr authorities about their way of handling privacy.

This worked for me last time a company asked me to download an app to delete my account
