A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

Genuine question: Aren’t you supposed to say “this is not legal advice?” if you identify yourself as a lawyer but you’re not their legal council? Or am I mistaken?
The purpose of that disclaimer is for the lawyer to not expose themselves to malpractice lawsuits from OP, which seems VERY unlikely to be relevant here
Nope.

Look it is the internet, you can rest assured if they say they are a lawyer, then there is no doubt ;)
That one is certainly illegal, misrepresenting yourself as a lawyer online and giving legal advice on that basis. Same for doctors.
I can’t decide if this is written jokingly or seriously.
Illegal where?
Canada, USA, the EU
And you are certain the poster aboves lives there because…?
