I tried deleting my account and apparently it takes 30 days for some reason! That looks so shady!

  We will verify your request using the information associated with your account. Government identification may be required and we may ask you for more information in order to verify your identify.

  Any questions? Email us at privacy@triplebyte.com

> Government identification may be required

Ah yes, the classic "send us more of your PII to delete your information." I've ran into that too many times.

It's a horrible way companies try to discourage data subjects from exercising their rights.

This is not lawful under both the GDPR and the CCPA. If Triplebyte follow through with their request against an EU or California resident, they'd be breaking data protection laws.

If comments here are any indication, too many people, being unaware of their rights, may fall for it though.

Well I live in France and will certainly not send them my ID. Lets see how they respond.
