Thanks for that tidbit. It would be nice to be grandfathered in, I can see it being a huge PITA to ask millions of people for proof--which probably gives them even more sensitive data like a photo of an ID. I assume your privacy laws travel with you, so if you travel to/login from the US your privacy rights stay the same?

What kind of grandfather clause do you imagine? The law basically says that companies are allowed to make you prove it's your data you're trying to delete to deter people using it to delete that of others. They're also allowed to refuse or charge a reasonable fee if they can justify that the request is spurious, unduly burdensome, onerous, etc. Yes, but obviously you've got nothing if you use an US-based service from the US. It's based around companies subject to EU laws, rather than any real notion of citizenship.
