Got my GDPR data request.. after deleting my account (lemmy.world)

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

A few weeks ago I submitted a request to Reddit for a copy of my data. In the meantime I got bored of waiting and deleted my account. I thought I would not receive my data, but yesterday I woke up to an email with a link to a file with all my data in!

So to all those who are waiting to receive your data before deleting your account, as long as you have a verified email address associated with your account, you can go ahead and delete your account and you’ll still receive your data!

Then they aren't actually deleting your data...

Tbf, I didn’t delete any of my data before I deleted my account. We know all a deleted users comments are still there because how many times have you seen a comment with a username of [deleted]? I don’t know what may have been if I had deleted all my comments and posts before I’d requested the data dump.

That's why you over write your comments first.. Reddit was always like this
