A company won't delete my data
Step-by-step legal guidance hasn't been verified in Dansk yet, so it's shown in English below. The interface is in Dansk.
Have you already formally asked the company to delete your data?
Yes, I askedDid they respond within one month?
No response, or a flat refusal with no reason
The company had one month to respond (Art. 12(3)), and any refusal must state its reasons and tell you about your right to complain (Art. 12(4)). Silence, or a refusal with no reasons, is itself a compliance failure — you don't have to argue with them further.
You can lodge a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority: free of charge, no lawyer needed, in the country where you live or work (Art. 77). The generator below drafts the complaint; attach a copy of your original request if you have one.
