Is this true? "In the EU you can request that #Equifax [#EFX] delete the data they have about you" (https://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=13428474&cid=58143858) EFX is in the US & the #GDPR is in the EU. Does EFX also do business in the EU?
@resist1984 Most large companies with business presence in EU do offer removal of user data and other requests mandated by GDPR - just search for "COMPANY gdpr request". They absolutely do it painful and obscure, but it's absolutely possible and I've done it with some. For Equifax see https://www.equifax.co.uk/crain/
@kravietz Interesting to see EFX is in the UK. paragraph 11: "it will not be appropriate for the credit reference agencies to restrict or to stop processing or delete credit reference data, for example, where the result would be to hide a poor credit history" LOL. So if the data is damaging EFX won't delete it. And since the UK is no longer in the EU, the GDPR is toast.
