BitPay is illegally blocking GDPR rights. Scammy and hostile to EU users.
BitPay refuses to update my account email unless I give them ID or proof of payment, despite the fact that I've never verified my ID and never made a single payment on their platform. Under GDPR Article 16, I have the legal right to correct my personal data. BitPay is blatantly violating EU law, hiding behind made-up "security requirements" that don't apply. They're demanding information they have no right to, just to stall or block basic user control over your own account. Their support is useless, robotic, and dismissive. They don't care about European users or legal obligations. If you're in the EU: avoid BitPay like the plague. Hostile, non-compliant, and shady as hell. Reporting them to the Dutch Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens and EDPB next.
