Finally, my old habit of using gabriel+website@domain pays off. I have been repeatedly called by a bitcoin/CFD company who refused to accept that a no. I had my suspicions on where they got my number from and now they confirmed it by using an old gabriel+website. 1/nPermalink

And as the original company is EU based I sent them a #GDPR request to see what they are doing with my data and maybe get them to stop giving it to shady trade platforms based in St. Vincent and the Grenadines . Will follow up here when I get a response. 2/nPermalink

#GDPR Followup 3/n I did get a response with a what looks like a JSON dump which seemed to contain most relevant interactions I had with the site. And it was completed within 30 days. So ✅ on that part of compliance. The screenshot shows how a sample from the data.

#GDPR Followup 4/n And on the main question I had, of how the email and phone number ended up with a company in St. Vincent and the Grenadines? They denied ever sharing it or knowing about that company.Permalink

#GDPR Followup 5/5 Which might be true or not, but selling my data seems to be one of the less bad things that company does. Usually they help people loose money. So I just exercised my right to have my data deleted and called it a day.Permalink
