- Rygian 4y ago> If they fail, you get paid the fine (not the state) Source for this?
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 4y agoIt's a lie, there is no provision whatsoever for people getting paid in GDPR.
- dgroshev 4y agoCompanies are allowed to keep data necessary for their other statutory obligations, like taxes or KYC. Otherwise it'd be a get out of jail free card for fraudsters and sanction evaders.
- yardstick 4y agoSure, but the op suggestion to delete the account should mean deleting any email marketing permissions, which are not necessary for KYC or taxes.
- RobAley 4y agoYes, but they're only allowed to use the data for the (legitimate) purpose it was retained. If you ask them not to retain/use it for marketing purposes, they can still retain it for statutory purposes but they can then only use it for that (not for sending you advertising emails etc.)
- dgroshev 4y agoYou are right, I misread the gp, my bad.
- lynx23 4y agoDo you have any evidence that this process actually works, or are you just parotting what we have been told over the last 5 years? In my experience, there is actually quite a barrier to this, meaning most situations where you see a GDPR violation are not easy to escalate.
