I just sent a GDPR letter to a company in the UK, which is still part of the EU. I have one of their Android phones, and it came with a non-removable app. It appeared to just be a bookmark. One day that app woke up and sent me a notification asking me to visit a web site, which led to a SurveyMonkey form.

So I sent the company a letter asking what data they have on me. It's going to be interesting to see what happens.

    It's going to be interesting to see what happens.

My bet: Nothing.

From the several requests I've made already, that seems unlikely.

Can you give an example, whom you sent a request and what you got in return?

I second the sister comment's question: how did you go about sending them (like what phrasing did you use, for example?)

Want to write a short post on it?
