    I obtained my data via GDPR request from Audi. Despite having disabled telemetry and location services, remote access and so on on certain date, the car kept sending every destination address I wrote on the navigator to the motherbase. Other location tracking services did stop (i.e. no live positioning).

    I'm still clarifying the purpose of this before making a complaint to the data authority.

      Can you describe the process of the GDPR request?

        You write to the email address in the privacy policy and ask for your data. Your LLM can assist in making it sound formal.
