I'm an EU citizen and was not aware of this "demand for data" thing. What does physical copy mean? Are they going to send me 20 boxes full of papers?

- vilmosi 9y agoNot physical paper, but you can download all the data they have on you at any time if you want.
- tscs37 9y agoThe GDPR specifically addresses only a copy of your data in a widely used digital format. I believe in Germany you can have someone send all your private data once a year in physical copy and you only need to pay for undue transport costs.
- rmc 9y agoYou are allowed to get a request of all personal data that someone/some company has one you. So you can contact Facebook and say "Please give me a copy of all the data you hold on me" and they have to give it to you. When Max Schrems did they first, Facebook did send a CD with a ~1,000 page PDF "print out". It garnered some media attention since it shows how much they do collect on people./ The maximum they can charge is set in law and is about €5.
