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.

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.
