But it's important to remember the GDPR doesn't give users a right to have all data deleted on request. Processors only have to delete data in certain situations.
For example, if you told the user why you collected the data, and you're still using it for that purpose, and you have a legitimate need to continue to do so then you don't need to delete the data. And there's an extra exemption for "exercising the right of freedom of expression and information".
