#25 dollars for having that story to tell, not bad

#3Just do a GDPR request and get all the data they have on you for free. I’m pretty sure they would have to give you your photos as part of that.

Well... If I was smarter, I'd have definitely done that!

#5Considering they explicitly said they had some photos of yours ("You shared them. We protected them."), this seems like chargeback territory.

Aren't they only required to delete the data on request? They don't have to actually provide it back to you

They have to provide the data on request. I also think they aren’t allowed to delete any data they have when you request it before providing it (although you can of course also request deletion).

No, you can request your personal data as a part of GDPR (and most other privacy laws). That's why things like Google Takeout still exist.

Are photos considered PII?

Right?? I mean again, I could have gotten a refund in 48 hours, per the smallprint... But I noticed it about ~3 months too late, while writing about this.
But it's okay. Getting those $5 back would make Photobucket look slightly better in my mind, and I don't want that.
