        It depends on where you live. But reddits EU offices are in the Netherlands, so you could file a complaint with them. Usually it should be as simple as searching for “gdpr supervisory agency [my state/country]” to find their website and complaint form.

          I actually live in Australia but I am still a EU citizen. The only issue is I made the account whilst in Australia but that shouldn’t be an issue I think.

            Contact the DPA of your EU home country. It doesn’t matter of you live elsewhere.

            Even non EU citizens can make complaints. It just won’t lead to remediation for their dircet issues, if one is sought through the DPA
