Not only is this a way for you to keep your stuff, inform you what reddit knew about you and in general good to do with services you use every now and then - it also tends to be quite expensive operation for tech companies that aren't quite operationally mature yet.

In other words, strongly recommend making a request if you still have an account.

I made a request last weekend and never got an answer. Checking back today it say's I can't request again. Either they are way behind or they aren't giving out the info.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they have like 30 days to comply.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, it's thirty days. The longer it takes btw the more likely that the company hasn't quite operationalized these kind of requests very well.

I put in a request under California law a few days ago. I'm interested to see whether they're capable of meeting their obligations or if they're not competent to operate a legal business.

Good info but it shouldnโ€™t be posted in this community.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The people downvoting you are shortsighted. This place is for discussion pertaining to lemmy.world. There is a general lemmy world discussion board. Also the one for reddit.

For former redditors who can't seem to grasp this simple concept.. would you like you see a video of an alligator eating a pet dog stay on r/WTF, or would you like that content misposted in r/awww or r/EyeBleach?

We have specific places for specific topics for a reason. This is not directed at OP, but people who are butthurt for OP and being unhealthy users for the community.

Downvote because something is off-topic, trolling, spam, or hate. Not because you disagree or don't like an opinion. Conversely, upvote relevant content/discussion, not simply things you like. They're not supposed to be dis/agreement buttons.

Oh i apologize, I'm still getting familiar with Lemmy. Where should I post it instead?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There is a general lemmy world discussion board. Also a reddit one, which would probably be the most appropriate that I've seen so far.

Edit: c/general or c/reddit

How do we request our data?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just use the link in the post, chose either option and start the request

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Anyone from the US actually received this? I submitted my request last week and haven't seen the results yet.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

do we have any grounds to request our data if we are not citzens of California or the EU?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

legal grounds? no, I don't think so

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They can't verify our citizenships. They just have to comply.
