This is weird. Their privacy policy enforcing them to delete your account. I guess it is just a catch for those who don't know what GDPR us. 4. Right to deletion a) Obligation to delete You may request the controller to delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to delete such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies: - The personal data concern…

The question is - will they actually be fined by anyone in EU for this? Because in practice GDPR enforcement is incredibly spotty and slow.

It’s meant to take on the large/multiple offenders; if they get enough complaints about 1 company and after warnings that company doesn’t change, they will fine.

When ordering two of those items (which is kinda weird) i noticed the following:

“ Your personal data will be used to process your order, support your experience throughout this website, and for other purposes described in our privacy policy.”

Does this mean while processing my order, the account removal, they update or recreate the account? :)
