Small thing, they have a month to answer to you, otherwise they are violating the GDPR. Certainly if only a few people ask their data deletion and they don't answer to them, they won't risk anything, but if a lot of people do they might get in trouble
I submitted a much less politely worded request under the California law last week and have yet to get a response.
If I read correctly their fine print they have 45 + 45 days to respond. Rest assured they'll take their time.
On the other hand I don't think you're the only one requesting either deletion or a GDPR archive right now so summer break might be slightly postponed or crunched for some people up there. Just a wild guess but still.
I will be surprised to get reply before end of the summer :D
I'm currently living in a third world country that happens to have a law similar to the EU's GDPR. Can I actually exercise my third world rights just like you do in the EU?
I think so, it's not a matter of being in EU but of local regulations. If reddit's accessible from your country then they must comply.
You don't need to be in the EU to exercise rights under GDPR. Any entity that wants to interact with the EU needs to comply regardless of where in the world it exists.
I don't know your local laws, but I imagine it is a similar scenario. All this means if you can't make use of your local laws, you can do the same as OP and use GDPR (even though you are not necessarily an EU country)
Oh, I didn't know that!
Might actually do this. Tried to delete/edit all my posts with PDS, but reddit keeps reading them.
Here is raw text if You want to re-use it :)
Dear Reddit Support Team,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request the removal of all my personal information from your databases in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
As an EU citizen, I have the right to request the erasure of my personal data under Article 17 of the GDPR. I would like to exercise this right and have all of my personal information permanently deleted from your systems.
Please find below the details necessary to process my request:
• Username:
• Email associated with the account:
I kindly request that you confirm the complete deletion of my personal information from your databases once the process is completed. Furthermore, I request that you provide written confirmation of the erasure, including the date when the deletion was finalized.
I understand that this process may take some time, but I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring compliance with the GDPR and safeguarding my privacy rights. I look forward to receiving confirmation of the successful removal of my personal information.
Yours sincerely,
Thanks a lot. I'm honestly getting tired of having reddit undelete my data over and over again despite me having a European ip address and running PDS every time I find out they reset everything.
Thank you! You're awesome!
Now every European user spam this e-mail to Reddit when they want to delete their Reddit account in full...
Muhahaha!
My guess is they will ask for some kind of ID. Does it count as personal information if the account is anonymous and doesn't require an email address?
A screenshot of your profile while logged in should be sufficient I'd say.
We'll see, I'll update if there will be any such demand.
I spent FAR too long trying to figure out why you misspelled "eurepe" and why you were trying to send Reddit things to the "presentive". I have not had my coffee yet.
Madlad is madladding like a boss!
Just tying up loose ends ;)
Can someone make a version for those of us from the USA?
I don't think GDPR applies in the USA.
Only in California from what I know. Even Reddit is mentioning it on their privacy page https://www.reddit.com/policies/privacy-policy#policy-h2-2
Can someone make a version for those of us from the USA?
GDPR is an EU law. I think maybe California has some similar state level law, but I havent heard of any equivalent law exists for the USA.
If You live in California You can use California Consumer Privacy Act as base of Your request
There are 18 states now that have data protection laws modeled after NIST that include allowances for data deletion requests.
Just lie and say you're in the EU
But what if they call my mom?
Tell your mom to lie too
You don't need to be in the EU to exercise rights under GDPR. Any entity that wants to interact with the EU needs to comply regardless of where in the world it exists.
Also, I don't remember ever telling Reddit where I live in the world and these requests are most likely not investigated in anyway due to the work load. They will just action it as a path of least resistance.
Honestly I hope not that many people do this. I get that it feels good to stick it to reddit and we don't like them profiting off of our content, but there is SO MUCH good information/help that we have sitting on reddit that you just can't find anywhere else.
I can't tell you how many times I solved a problem by finding a slightly related reddit comment that I couldn't find an answer for anywhere else. Going to be sad times when we can't do that anymore :(
Yea I totally understand that sentiment, I was in that situation too many times. I for one was mostly a lurker who rarely even commented so no big loss there :D
I understand where you're coming from but at least The Reddit Community Has Been Archived . Not the same I know, but its there if you need it!
