GDPR also requires that you can't keep customer data indefinitely.

I haven't renewed my subscription some months ago. I had a message mentioning that my playlists would be kept during one year and would be deleted after this period. Don't know if it applies to user information.

I hate rules like that. I mean, I love them, but we can't verify anything. Not sure how to solve that, either. Only thing that comes to mind is constant audit but that seems insanely unreasonable.

yeah, and good luck with erasing customer data from tape archives :)
