Having worked at a company that had a massive influx of GDPR requests we weren’t prepared for, this one could actually cause them some trouble if Reddit don’t have that process properly automated.
You're viewing a single thread.
They do not have it automated. I put in a request 2 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back.
When can you complain about the slow response?
I would not at all be surprised if the GDPR dictates a set time period to respond backed up by fines.
the GDPR gives them 30 days to honor your request I think?
Yeah it’s 30 days, though they can push it up to 90 if they have a good reason. They have to inform you of that though.
You can also request it again every 30 days... just saying.
And to be fair, a large influx of data requests is probably considered a good reason.
They still have to comply within the 90 day period. If they can’t comply in that timeframe a warning or a fine could be issued.
Expect the new Reddit automated response to data requests to push it to 90 days then.
They have 30 days I believe.
Yeah same. They might be holding back until the last minute deliberately in some 4D chess move, but like you I think it’s more likely some poor soul is preparing them manually.
I don't think they want that, they have a month before they have to come back with something or you can escalate it to a supervising body. Imagine getting taken to court because redditors flooded your GDPR response process
Idk, Mr. Inspired-by-Musk might not know or care.
That mandatory overtime.
