And this is why I wish we adopted GDPR more... if they are compliant, then they have to remove all data held when requested. Too bad the US will never care that much to respect individuals' data like that.
Exactly. I made a GDPR request for deletion. They can get in big trouble if they are soft deleting.
Have they ever been audited?
How does the legal authority work with GDPR if the company's physical and financial operations are entirely within the US? Would the GDPR even be allowed to audit them without their consent?
