Unless you live in a country that forces companies to delete your data, or you are an influential person, asking them to delete your personal data will result in companies telling you to go fuck yourself. Especially if you are in a third world country.
What if you use a VPN connected to a country with GDPR protections to send them emails? To them it would seem like you are living in a country with GDPR protections if they look at the IP address from the email you sent.
