Having worked at a company that had a massive influx of GDPR requests we weren’t prepared for, this one could actually cause them some trouble if Reddit don’t have that process properly automated.

They do not have it automated. I put in a request 2 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back.

When can you complain about the slow response?

[–] Difficult_Bit_1339@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would not at all be surprised if the GDPR dictates a set time period to respond backed up by fines.

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the GDPR gives them 30 days to honor your request I think?

[–] dan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah it’s 30 days, though they can push it up to 90 if they have a good reason. They have to inform you of that though.

[–] jarfil@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You can also request it again every 30 days... just saying.

And to be fair, a large influx of data requests is probably considered a good reason.

[–] havilland@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

They still have to comply within the 90 day period. If they can’t comply in that timeframe a warning or a fine could be issued.

This is exactly what I did one week ago when I decided to leave Reddit. They still haven't gotten back to me

Yeah I did this not to just mess with them. I did it cause I'm leaving and I want my data.
