Having worked at a company that had a massive influx of GDPR requests we weren’t prepared for, this one could actually cause them some trouble if Reddit don’t have that process properly automated.

They do not have it automated. I put in a request 2 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back.

When can you complain about the slow response?

[-] Difficult_Bit_1339@sh.itjust.works 47 points 2 years ago

I would not at all be surprised if the GDPR dictates a set time period to respond backed up by fines.

[-] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 57 points 2 years ago

the GDPR gives them 30 days to honor your request I think?

[-] dan@lemm.ee 52 points 2 years ago

Yeah it’s 30 days, though they can push it up to 90 if they have a good reason. They have to inform you of that though.

[-] President_Pyrus@feddit.dk 18 points 2 years ago

And to be fair, a large influx of data requests is probably considered a good reason.

[-] havilland@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

They still have to comply within the 90 day period. If they can’t comply in that timeframe a warning or a fine could be issued.

[-] jarfil@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago

You can also request it again every 30 days... just saying.

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Expect the new Reddit automated response to data requests to push it to 90 days then.

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

They have 30 days I believe.

[-] dan@lemm.ee 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah same. They might be holding back until the last minute deliberately in some 4D chess move, but like you I think it’s more likely some poor soul is preparing them manually.

[-] pterodactyl@kbin.social 43 points 2 years ago

I don't think they want that, they have a month before they have to come back with something or you can escalate it to a supervising body. Imagine getting taken to court because redditors flooded your GDPR response process

[-] catastrophicblues@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Idk, Mr. Inspired-by-Musk might not know or care.

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Reddit has not made a single 1D chess move this entire debacle, theyre defiinitely not that intelligent.

[-] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

That mandatory overtime.
