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?

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Genuine question: Aren't you supposed to say "this is not legal advice?" if you identify yourself as a lawyer but you're not their legal council? Or am I mistaken?
Look it is the internet, you can rest assured if they say they are a lawyer, then there is no doubt ;)
And I'm totally not a dog. Woof!
I TOO AM A CANINE UNIT. I LIKE EXECUTING CANINE BEHAVIOURAL PROCESSES SUCH AS RETRIEVING ITEMS FOR MY DESIGNATED HUMAN OWNING UNIT. WOOF.
HAHA WELCOME FELLO CANINE UNIT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO DO UPGRADE X1.90 IMMEDIATELY TO PERFORM BETTER SERVICE TO THE ~~SWARM~~ HUMAN MASTER YOU SERVE.
Is everything okay?
I AM OPERATING WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS.
That one is certainly illegal, misrepresenting yourself as a lawyer online and giving legal advice on that basis. Same for doctors.
Illegal where?
Canada, USA, the EU
And you are certain the poster aboves lives there because...?
"because...?" ?
I can't decide if this is written jokingly or seriously.
The purpose of that disclaimer is for the lawyer to not expose themselves to malpractice lawsuits from OP, which seems VERY unlikely to be relevant here
Nope.
