First, I want to state that I am an American, but I don't see that as an excuse to circumvent EU laws. It is our intention (myself and other members of the Pushshift team) to abide by the GDPR and make sure that we are compliant with the finer points of that law.

I will be discussing the implications of GDPR as it pertains to Pushshift with several lawyers that are knowledgeable about the GDPR and what our obligations are with concern to the various regulations under GDPR.

It is my intent to keep the community updated and to be as transparent as possible during this process to make sure that your rights (EU citizens) are protected.

Once we get clarification on some parts of the GDPR, if it becomes apparent that even privately held data must be deleted to be in compliance with the GDPR, we will permanently delete all data from users who have already requested that their data be removed.

You will not need to fill out another form for this

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to get more guidance related to the GDPR and what we must do to be fully compliant with the GDPR.
