Where's the problem? To me it shows what an excellent job the creation of the GDPR was. It makes companies think in depth about the data they hold on me and how they process it. It also provides clear ways to question and challenge it.

I've seen a number of articles trying to frame the GDPR as some kind of shambles. The shambles is the way too many companies have abused and mis-processed the data for too many years and somehow the EU lawmakers are bureaucratic imbeciles. Yet, everyone I know is fully in favour of this as consumers.

And, for context, I am the person who will have to deal with these at our company. Our customers are absolutely entitled to expect us to process their personal information is a responsible manner and I hope a number of these letters are sent to every company, it's about time there was a power shift in this area.
