Not entirely true. It hugely depends on the company. I have no luck retrieving even my personal info from some companies re. my interviews (I asked for internal email notes where I was the subject) and they simply denied providing almost nothing.Some even quoted GDPR as the reason in response stating the info I requested contains other people's details too. Some correctly provided info I asked redacting other peoples details which is fair. But there are so many exclusions to GDPR (https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...) and the companies can use one or another exemption stated to ignore your request.
