My first request was around June. My second request, followed by an addition support ticket was at the end of July. In both these situations, I've been left without any response - no "hi"s, no re-assurances, nothing.

Unfortunately, I am not from the EU region, neither do I live in one, but given how this also affects the citizens of countries under EU, how should I proceed further? Is there a webpage online, where I can just file them? Or is it only possible through the local DPA/court?

Have you checked your spam folder to make sure you didn't miss a reply? Did you email [email protected]?

Does seem odd they wouldn't reply within the time frame you listed.

[email protected] would only be suitable for requests made by EU-Citizens no?

It's what they list in their privacy document as the contact address. Non EU citizens don't really have any rights for this sort of thing afaik, so gdpr@ will probably be their only contact point for full data removal.

So what? Just claim you are one

If only they didn't have their personal data to check that.

They can't prove shit. You could very well become a EU citizen at any time

The GDPR applies to both EU and non-EU citizens. What matters is that the organisation has activities in EU countries, but IANAL.
