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?
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
For some critical services (such as banks, hosting providers, etc.) I use ProtonMail. For the rest of the stuff, I have my own email server hosted at my home set up with a VPN tunnel to OVH (data is kept on a server at my home, but the server is publicly available from the Internet thanks to a cheap VPS from OVH). The most private is what you have full control over.
With this solution, I have full control over my data.
Wow that's pretty advanced. I always thought about hostim my own email server but then people reminded me that I might get blocked or classiefied as spam so it didn't seem worth the effort. I don't use email that often anyways.
