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?

    GDPR clearly states you can contact any part of the organisation with your request. You can make your request verbally or in writing and they must acknowledge it. They can’t refuse and make you use their app.

    For fun send them a Subject Access Request and if they don’t acknowledge it, report them to the ICO (if you’re in the UK)
