Data Deletion Demand Process

i did they told me my email wasnt linked to the account so there's no data to delete. the site allows coaches to make accounts for athletes that are *-* if they've gotten consent and after turning * can claim their account. I asked if I were to claim the account my account then can i delete all the data. They never replied back. I went to my old high school the one that disclosed the pii. It may have taken a bit for them to get on the same page but this entire time they have been responsive and are doing their best to comply to my request. This site on the other hand is rude and unprofessional for ignoring me. I would have thought if they deny my request that I could potentially sue them for a tort under negligence. since the co willingly ignored my request knowing I said it doxxes me. Also just want to know if sending a demand letter will effect anything when the school sends the request to the list of websites which is inclusive of the one in question

what do you mean a solid basis?

what do you mean a solid basis? Like a possible case? And if that's what your getting at then sending a demand letter shouldn't affect my case or if I choose to speak with either ca attorney general or a lawyer, correct?

yes but like i said they said they couldn't find any data under the email i emailed them with. This obvi wouldn't make sense since i was a minor though which is why i said if i claimed my athlete account would i then gain access to the info and be able to delete it which they ghosted me for asking

no what would california attorney general do?

no what would the california attorney general do and because they didn't do it can i sue them or get money from them?

so which should i do first then send the demand letter or go straight to filing a complaint

yes

I am writing to formally demand the immediate removal of my personal information from Athletic.net, as well as affiliated sites. I previously notified you of the presence of my personally identifiable information (PII) on your platform. Despite my initial request, no action has been taken to protect my privacy, which constitutes a failure on your part to uphold your responsibility under applicable privacy laws, including the CCPA and the CPRA. While I understand that removing my information may affect the existing scores and rankings, the burden of finding a solution to this issue rests solely with you. I will not accept any placeholder or entry that could potentially connect me to my past data. Any information that remains must not imply any affiliation with me whatsoever. If this situation is not resolved by December 7th, *, I may be compelled to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek appropriate remedies. I expect confirmation of the removal.
