Re: How does it work for historical orders?

They wouldn't be required to delete data that was obtained for legitimate reasons, eg orders placed / goods dispatched and records held for a period of time - 6 years? What will happen is that the company that still posts advertising stuff to me even though I haven't bought anything off them for over 10 years will be getting a request to remove my details.
