It’s easier to pretend your data were deleted than collecting part of your data and sending them back to you. They almost every time don’t know how much, where, why they have so much data. They certainly have no way to collect them, only hand made work, so let’s have a little misunderstanding and hope it works.

Now that you’ve been deleted, wait until you receive the next text or email marketing campaign ;)

[edit: replaced "datas" by "data"]

data is already a plural word friend! "datas" is confusing to read

Write them on sheets of papers

And then invoke GDPR, ask for a printed copy

Start using datum for singular...which is even weirder than datas imo.
