Is this legal?

Here in Germany, after having terminated business relations with an organization, you can force them to delete all personal data they hold about you unless they are required to hold the data for legal compliance reasons.

(And before you say that's because of GDPR, it's actually been like this for as long as I can remember, so at least 20 years. GDPR mostly just standardized existing laws and added some potentially hefty fines to make it harder for international corporations to ignore them.)
