Was forced to use a third party to fill a rental application. The application failed and now they're demanding significantly more sensitive information than what I ever provided before they'll comply. - eviltoast

    one of your rights under gdpr is that you are entitled (free of charge) to a listing of all the data the other party has about you.

    when you ask them about this listing this request itself becomes data the party has about you. it should therefore he included in the listing. (it is self referential, but that’s how it is).

    if the information that you requested such a listing is missing from the data they provide in response to you request, they are in breach of gdpr rules. from them on you might want to file a complaint.

    ( I’ve no idea whether this would result in any meaningful compensation, if at all. but at least it should keep them busy.)

      Thanks for clearing that up, definitely not looking for compensation or anything, just for my request for deletion to be respected, but adding something like that to a complaint would definitely help. Thanks!
