GDPR story time: Sixt car rentals had this braindead policy of having to send a letter to be able to opt out of marketing. For a short period of time I even had a website dedicated to calling them out on their bullshit practices, and went in to their Facebook page and posted the link everytime there were any questions about it. I even got a threatening takedown email, to which I kindly restated what I had written on the page: that I would not pay postage to Germany to unsubscribe and that the page would go down either when I got an official notice that I was unsubscribed from everything or when I hadn't received any marketing email for 6 months. In the end I spent much more time than needed to GDPR-request all information they had on me and detailed information how it was used. Only to ask them to remove all of it in the end.
