I don't. I have better things to do than babysit various accounts
I've signed up over the years. Just because someone signs up for an
account and forgets about it is not a good enough reason to have my
information DESTROYED WITHOUT MY PERMISSION if I do happen to be busy
that week to sign in somewhere to accept a legal disclaimer.
GDPR is touted as a policy to tackle the issue of the larger players
abusing their market positions and our trust; instead, so far, my lack
of response would just ensure that I am unsubscribed from my alumni
association in the UK; what good does it do to me?!
