A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

    It’s way too easy to spoof email “from” addresses.

    There should be a way to do it through their website though. Requiring an app is just stupid.

      They literally replied to his registered email and he has the reply. That would indicate that he has at least access to the account. So with OP’s next email quoting the reply ownership over the associated email address should be reasonably established.
