  That's fine but how often do you export? How do you merge it with other exported data? Are you exporting your entire history every time? What about when Google/Facebook breaks their API or get rid of it?

    That is why we are creating PrivicyPal -- to set a schedule to download and merge data from many sources and monitor over time. Will be adding beta testers soon. See https://www.privicy.com/privicypal/about https://www.privicy.com/privicypal/about

    Yep, exactly that! As in, you can do GDPR export or Google Takeout now and then, but then you request it, enter your password/etc; in few days you will get a link to the archive. You can put a reminder to do it now and then, but then your export stales, it's just so frustrating. It's almost ok as a means of backup, but it's hard to use this data in a meaningful day.

  The lack of an export feature is rather common among smaller services. What Google and Facebook are capable of doesn't scale down to other service providers.
