Rightly provides a form for you to make subject access requests (SARs), an entitlement under GDPR.

Sadly, it doesn't actually allow you much actual control over your personal data. If you know who has data, anyone can make a SAR about themselves. But if you don't know that GiantCorp (or for that matter TinyCorp) has data, you can't make a SAR.

We've all seen and clicked accept to cookie permissions on many websites. And most websites and apps do require some personal data to work.
