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.
CCPA and GDPR lawyers
Yeah same. They might be holding back until the last minute deliberately in some 4D chess move, but like you I think it’s more likely some poor soul is preparing them manually.
When can you complain about the slow response?
I would not at all be surprised if the GDPR dictates a set time period to respond backed up by fines.
the GDPR gives them 30 days to honor your request I think?
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.
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.
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.
They have 30 days I believe.
I did my part
I put mine in today.
I loaded up Reddit and did my part. For those who still have Reddit accounts, upvote the original to keep it at the top
Kk
Well my account is not that old, but i did my part.
This is exactly what I did one week ago when I decided to leave Reddit. They still haven’t gotten back to me
This is the same for me! “A message will be sent to your reddit inbox” complete silence. Though the submission message said it could take 30 days or something.
The GDPR states, that request must be completed within a month. In case you’re from Europe, you could report reddit to your local authorities if they don’t respond within that time frame. A single report won’t probably cause a reaction. But several reports from several individuals on the other hand…
Oh I wasn’t aware of this. Very tempting. Now I lowkey wish they miss the deadline on one of the six accounts I requested the data for, so I can do some European style trolling.
