Would it not have been smarter to subtly alter them, in order to not trigger database rollbacks? Plenty of ways to ruin intelligibility with minor changes.
Right but on the backend they capture deltas, then emit the newest version. Aside from explicit gdpr requests (lol) they never actually delete the originals (more lol).
Then I demanded my data every month until they started ignoring me - just to be annoying, of course
Wow, you’re the kind of person that makes every worker in IT hate the GDPR. It’s good for consumers. Until the consumer is you. Think of the fact that a person has to actually fulfill that request, and you know that management never paid for tooling for that, they have to fuck around manually in the database every time.
To me there’s a huge difference between being angry at a company and its leadership, and taking out the anger on the workers that are probably just as angry at their own management. It’s like someone yelling at a level 1 phone support, as if that magically makes them able to help you, which is usually something they would be fired for even if they had the system access to fix the problem. They’re paid to handle standard questions with a standard answer catalogue and nothing more.
You’re not making life for the management difficult by repeatedly asking for a GDPR readout. Just for the workers who are already being paid fuck all to do shitty work in too long hours.
