From GDPR article 2:

> 2. This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data:

> (c) by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity

My sense (I am neither a lawyer nor European so this is certainly not European legal advice) is that you cannot use GDPR to compel someone to delete your contact info if they're solely a social acquaintance, but you can use it to compel them to delete it if they're a one-person business of some sort (contractor, Etsy seller, lawyer, etc.).
