I just got my data takeout request granted (110 MB) yesterday, so time to follow up with a GDPR request to then nuke everything. It's the only way to make sure.

I’m still waiting. How long did it take for you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

About 3 weeks I think.

How did you place the takeout request? Would like to do the same thing.

And this is how I find out that my permanent suspension from Reddit- no reason given- from last week has magically reversed itself. Too late now. Fuck them.

Thank you! just placed my request.

How did they send it out to you, via message or email.

I submitted my gdpr a couple weeks ago, but my accounts all used temp emails that I can't access anymore so I wouldn't get it if they sent it there.

The normal data export request gives you a pm with a link with an expiration date.

My data takeout request was a download URL delivered by a message. I can't submit a GDPR request yet since Reddit allows you one request per 30 days.
