It’s easier to pretend your data were deleted than collecting part of your data and sending them back to you. They almost every time don’t know how much, where, why they have so much data. They certainly have no way to collect them, only hand made work, so let’s have a little misunderstanding and hope it works.

Now that you’ve been deleted, wait until you receive the next text or email marketing campaign ;)

— I may or may not be working next door to a data protection officer.

[edit: replaced "datas" by "data"]

data is already a plural word friend! "datas" is confusing to read

Is data a plural word? I thought it was a word without plural form

If data is plural, does that mean that "the data was stolen" is wrong and "the data were stolen" is right?

What am I supposed to do with those informations?

[-] rutrum@lm.paradisus.day 8 points 5 hours ago

Start using datum for singular...which is even weirder than datas imo.

Write them on sheets of papers

And then invoke GDPR, ask for a printed copy

meanwhile at the fuck off department, as a reply to "delete everything"

[-] srestegosaurio@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 hours ago

Is that even GDPR compliant?

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago
