If Reddit failed to delete data after a GDPR deletion request, then yes, they would be in violation of GDPR.

Consider requesting and then deleting your data under GDPR if you are located in the EU.

Even if you’ve deleted you posts or account, these might be soft deletions. So you should still apply under GDPR.

Here’s a template letter of how to do so. You must request your data or the deletion of you data using the correct legal framework (quoting the correct legislation) and these templates make this easy. Plus they cover more types of data than just your posts and comments!

Only if they asked for data deletion as per the GDPR rules

• account deletion is never considered the same thing as data deletion, be explicit and dont trust these guys.

• if you delete all your posts but not your account you haven’t fully removed your data anyway, so they can keep it.

No, unless OP sent them a legal request asking for “the right to be forgotten”.

GDPR is about knowing what data they have about you and how they use it, not about deleting it.
