    GDPR though only works if you reside in UK right? CA also has CCPA where you can request and they should honor. However, to my knowledge CCPA does not have as much teeth as GDPR laws? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong

      GDPR is an EU regulation, so it works if you’re living in the EU. It also works in the UK because it predates Brexit.

        It also applies to Europeans living outside of the EU. Rather than ask for verification that you’re living abroad, most companies will just assume it applies to you and agree to delete it.

      Gpdr effects any company that deals with European individuals/data on Europeans regardless of where the company is incorporated.

            No the point was politicians using xenophobia to get support for themselves, and they accidentally went too far and managed to leave the EU while doing it.

            That was one of the ‘publicly perceived’ points of Brexit and GDPR was either deemed useful enough to keep or, like most things, would take too much effort for the powers that be to get rid of.
