ChrislyBearReddit sent me invitations to their IPO to my "deleted" accounts! That's a GDPR violation!
Excuse my ignorance but how is this a violation?
GDPR requires deleting data if you ask them to delete data. How did they get your email address if they supposedly deleted your information?
Let’s assume that the dude requested for a deletion of his account (specifically - not all his data) of the basis of gdpr and the execution of his data subject rights; that doesn’t exclude the possibility for reddit to keep his contact details for specific purposes based on the legitimate interest if reddit. Or at least they could play with the argument.
They can keep it but they are not allowed to use it as of article 5&6.
