New website to request your personal data stored about you in more than 100 online services
After the famous Cambridge Analytica scandal a few years ago, Facebook reconsidered it, and shortly after we saw how it offered users a page where they could download the information that the social network kept about them.
A situation that also caused many users to reflect on the use of personal data by other technology companies or other websites. With the arrival of the new data protection law that came into effect on May 25, 2018, there are still more users who want to know what personal data companies keep about them. In this post, I will show you a site that allows us to download or request data stored about us in more than 100 online services.
It is about Data Requests, a new online service through which it is possible to download or request all the personal information stored about us, such as these popular online services or applications: Facebook, LinkedIn, Tinder, Slack, Twitter, Uber, YouTube, various Google services, Paypal, Waze, Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp, Spotify, Amazon, Netflix and a long list of others.
To find the service or application for which we want to know the personal information it holds about us, the site provides us with a search engine for companies that we can search by name. For example, I put Facebook or META
Once you find the application or service, simply click on REQUEST 1 COMPANY and a window will appear showing a link to the form that allows us to request the data we have stored about this service where you have to put your mail, address and full name
Companies will now have one month to respond to your requests. They can extend this deadline to a total of three months if necessary but must notify you within the first month.
You can also request to delete this data through the second option.
