Does a company break privacy laws if you bring a paper with your personal details and put it in their office without telling anyone?

  No, but if they have a policy of collecting and saving any papers that people have on them, then they’re responsible for that collection. Which is what’s happening here - they’re collecting data that the user isn’t even submitting.

    If they know it's personal data and handle it accordingly it might be ok. What if the user submits personal data without being expected to? For example, I have to enter a nickname on online game before starting to play, what if my nickname is my full name and home address? Now they unknowingly store PII without a privacy policy. What should the company do in this case?

      Delete it if you ask them to.
