A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

It is not legal. Please report it to your local Data Protection Authority (DPA).
Something along the lines of “I contacted X for a GDPR request via email, using the address associated with my user account. Their answer is requiring me to install their app, and agree to several new legally binding ToSes in the process.”
Edit: due to the recent renaming of a certain (less and less) popular app, I need to add a disclaimer: I meant “X” as a variable to substitute, not as a verbatim name… Although I would not be surprised if it were the “X social platform, formerly known as twitter” (AKA “XSPFKT”) we are talking about.
Man, Elon really does ruin everything. Can’t even use X as a variable anymore without a disclaimer.
It’s causing hell of problems to mathematicians worldwide.
How about using a programmer style variables like badCompanyName. You don’t have to be a mathematician. Sure, I can totally appreciate concise names, but some times you have to use longer names to avoid collisions.
Csmel case isn’t POSIX complaint. Underscores ftw /s
It is an ex-social-platform. It is now a pile of garbage.
This is why I always call it twitter. X is a variable
It’s new name is “X, formally known as Twitter”. Which is what every news website on the planet calls it.
Regardless the fact that X is a stupid name for a company, it’s also dumb to rename a popular company generally anyway.
“Twitter” is shorter
