Same here even without dangerous activities. I may look up where my partner is at the end of the working day. Still in the office? May be a rough day, I can think about some nice dinner and serve a glass of wine 30 seconds before she comes back home.



I’d might accept to send my ID with my photo, first and last name (data which they already have and might use to verify my identity) but with all the remaining info being anonymized / blurred. But I believe that Persona filter out blurred out images. And I have to admit, I am kinda afraid to send fake data. Sure, Persona is not a legal representative but a third party, sending them a fake ID isn’t any different to send a fake ID to a buddy but still.


Thanks for your reply, there are many ideas that help me to think it through!

First of all: no, I agree that non-verified person should not be able to request an account deletion. However, I am in full possession of my id, password, 2FA, full access to both old and new e-mail boxes as well as to all devices that have ever been used to log into this account. I believe that this is enough to prove that I am the one holding the account.

I believe that I never used LI from any new VPN (I use either professional VPN or no VPN).

As per your last paragraph, I totally agree that it might “reveal” my sensitive data. My idea was the following: if I show myself ready enough and kinda literate about privacy (nothing fancy, just some well-known rights and regulations) I might get them to accept a video call or something similar to confirm my identity. If this case were to be brought to court after all, I believe that my ID data might remain within the jurisdiction of my country instead of be sent to a third party (Persona).


Good to know, thanks! I might try to log in every now and then. And indeed, no way I keep my account after that.


LinkedIn ID verification
First things first, I've updated my LI account with a new e-mail and 2FA and now my account is "Temporarily restricted". LinkedIn require me to send them either my ID card (no way) or my legal information certified by a lawyer in my country (no way). The ID seems to be "verified" (they are nothing to compare against) by Persona, a third-party that is located in US. I kindly asked by mail to delete my account (as outlined in Article 17 of the GDPR) using a webcall or a short video with me talkie-talking about how I would like to recover my account. "Kindly asked" whether they prefer me to bring the matter to the court (Article 77 of the GDPR). Gonna see what they reply. Anybody who went through this? Any success? Any arguments that seemed to work on the support?
