I’m curious what sort of due diligence these companies must do to authenticate you as a person prior to satisfying an information retrieval request. Given that the exchange is entirely digital, it seems plausible that there are bad actors who would pose as someone else to gain access to their personal information. What sort of liability does one of these data controllers bear when they fail to properly authenticate a…

Certainly it's hard to believe some of this would be completely compatible with the GDPR. Perhaps you could make the argument that there is a legitimate business need to prevent fraud but from what's included in the article the data goes far beyond what anyone would consider minimal.
