I think you'll have to use a VPN to make it look like you're from Europe. Other than that, you should be good.
I gave it a try yesterday and it let me submit the request from Canada. No idea if they will come back in a month and say "Only Europe sorry"
In that case, good luck. And keep us updated.
Thanks :). Not sure I'll remember to do the update as their page says it can take up to 30 days to get the results. But I am definitely curious to see what kind of data they have logged on me over the decade (plus a bit) that I have had my account on reddit.
I'd be surprised if they did it. Where I work we get a lot of subject access requests and we will generally try and get out of it if we can as it's an annoying thing to have to do. Lots of people know this and put in requests just to piss us off (which I find amusing).
I have submitted a gdpr request myself (UK based so it applies) but not heard back yet. Think they have 28 days though so should get it soon.
If they do reject it I guess I just VPN to a Europe location and request it. Since reddit doesn't have you select a country for your profile I'm not sure how else they can deny the request except purely by IP address geolocation.
