I look forward to hearing your report a year from now when Uber sends you a promotional code, or worse still, someone hacks Uber and discloses what ever information of yours wasn't actually deleted by Uber.
In other words, I am doubtful that your account will actually ever be deleted.
Yes, the GDPR is an interesting body of legislation. Not sure if anyone has actually tested it to its full extent in court for compliance by companies like Uber and Airbnb. Would be interested to know.
Mind you, it does require that the user is part of the EU, so to my knowledge it doesn't apply to my information here in Australia.
Na, the email is legit. The headers match their mail delivery. If it were phishing it would far more obvious like the email from a residential IP or a more urgent call to action then "login with the app to prevent deletion." Phising would be "click this link to prevent your account being deleted." I am getting plenty of those from Photobucket.
This whole thing is why I don't think there's a single intelligent person working at Google. Just a bunch of toilet brushes that are good at lateral logic puzzles. Because every Gmail interface I'm aware of hides the sender's address behind a click. It'll say "From Uber" and you have to click something to see it's from [email protected]. How much does the scam industry pay for them to do it that way?
Photobucket has been threatening to delete my photos for like 3 years now. I'm just like, do it... I dare you... And they're like, we're gonna do it... It's about to happen... And I'm like, ok cool, do it. Let's see it... And they're all, ok, here we go... I'm gonna do it, you're gonna lose those photos... And then I'm all, let's see it bitch, I'm watching...
