>Can I do a GDPR request for the data about myself? How?

And send it where? It's unclear who owns this server

Google are jointly liable for this service, so if you can't find a contact point, then you can email google with the service IP. They will more than happily point you on to the customer to avoid being taken to court.

Seems like OxyData and PDL directly have more up-to-date records anyway.

Could the server owner (Google) have to fulfill the request? Probably not, but interesting to think about.

Start with Google, they will need to figure out and know who the actual owner is and who paid for the resources to host it.

From the article it seems that you can just create a free account and query your own name.

> In order to test whether or not the data belonged to PDL, we created a free account on their website which provides users with 1,000 free people lookups
