Add the credit card readers/POS tablets at stores, Starbucks, etc to that list, which mostly have tiny cell phone cameras built into them now (whether you knew it or not)

Does that mean I can request all the pictures of myself checking out at Starbucks under the GDPR/CCPA? Has anyone done that yet? If not, any idea why not?

No, because ignoring the GDPR under all kinds of technicalities is standard practice: https://noyb.eu/en/microsofts-xandr-grants-gdpr-rights-rate-...

There are two types of ignoring that's been very common with the american and swedish companies I've battled with.

1. Protection against law suits. We reserve the right to not delete any information you have, since if there's a law suit we would need that as proof.

2. Freedom of speech. We are a publisher, so by removing your personal information, our right to free speech is threatened and since this is a foundational legal principle, it overrides any GDPR laws.

I can give one perspective...

I worked in the communications part of a lender. We couldn't delete anyone's texts or other correspondence for a number of years due to compliance requirements.
