It gets worse. Not having used my Gmail account for years, old phone died, moved to another state with new number there, and I traveled back to Los Angeles in order to log in on the same network, same laptop, correct password, but I put a new HDD in my Macbook Pro which caused Apple to re-ID the OS, and locked out! No way to recover, I try twice a year. Will not even reset to the correct backup email I have! I just get an email saying I tried to login with no actions possible!

Google stole parts of my life from me, the history in those emails, wow!

STOLEN

I AM NOT MY PHONE

In Europe you own your data. Don't you have the California act or something like that there?

Er, that's not quite what the GDPR means and doesn't apply in this case. In fact, Google could cite the GDPR in making sure that OPs data doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

The GDPR gives you a bunch of rights if you're a EU or UK citizen, including the right for data /about you/ to be forgotten or disclosed. It doesn't mean google have to hold onto stuff indefinitely (quite the reverse) or provide OP access if they can't meet Google's security requirements.

Not your hard drive, not your data.
