Staff help needed: GDPR Article 17 Request (Account access lost)

    Hello, I need to submit a formal GDPR Right to Erasure request (Article 17) regarding an old blog of mine. I have completely lost access to the original email and the automated recovery system fails, stating the account is closed.

    Since I am on a free plan, I cannot email support directly to submit my legal request. Could an Automattic Staff member please open a private email ticket with me so I can securely provide the site URL, my personal details, and process this privacy request? Thank you.

    Hi there,

    I’ve just reached out to you via mail, please check your inbox (and your spam/junk folder if you don’t see it right away).

    If you have any questions after reviewing the email, feel free to let us know there.

    Thank you!
