Any other suggestions for things we can do to push back against Sony?
Yeah, stop playing helldivers. Move on.
Along with this you should also request a personal information report from your privacy settings…processing hundreds of thousands of requests should give them good practice and let Sony know we value our privacy
So is this really only opt-out? If yes, that’s against the GDPR, which requires an active consent:
8 CONSENT OBTAINED UNDER DIRECTIVE 95/46/EC
- For example, as the GDPR requires that a controller must be able to demonstrate that valid consent was obtained, all presumed consents of which no references are kept will automatically be below the consent standard of the GDPR and will need to be renewed. Likewise as the GDPR requires a “statement or a clear affirmative action”, all presumed consents that were based on a more implied form of action by the data subject (e.g. a pre-ticked opt-in box) will also not be apt to the GDPR standard of consent.

Can you also opt out of their frequent data breaches?
Stop buying their products.
