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?

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 1 year ago

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

[-] dan@lemm.ee 52 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] havilland@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

They have 30 days I believe.
