A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

For now, I do not want to announce the name of this company publicly.
If they don't want to solve it amicably, then I will do so.
Must be something that makes you look bad lol
Otherwise you'd just say it. You owe them nothing and they've broken the fuckin law and you're protecting them? What do they have on you?
Or maybe they just want to disclose as little of their personal information, including services relied on, on an open platform like this. Idk if that's the case, but playing devil's advocate here
Personal information like the name of a company they bought something from?
Please
Maybe it's a company with only 3 customers.
