I build the systems that handle GDPR data requests. Be warned that, depending on how complex the company's data systems are, you may be filing a support ticket that and requires some level of engagement. Especially if you are a user of said product and how authentication is established, you may accidentally delete your account.
Also, 90% of the templated GDPR removal requests we get are for details that don't exist in our system. My impression of these tools is they are not very smart and can end up spreading your PII around more than they erase it.
