Please also inform me about those recipients. If you object to the requested erasure, you have to justify that to me. My request explicitly includes any other services and companies for which you are the controller as defined by Article 4(7) GDPR. As laid down in Article 12(3) GDPR, you have to confirm the erasure to me without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request.
