Talking about GDPR and the "right to be forgotten", what happens when someone decides he want's his/hers Geocaching profile deleted, including all the caches he/she placed, all the logs, trackables, etc.? Will Groundspeak remove all of these without question? Are they required to?

In addition to attending a mega-/giga-event and completing the lab cache, or getting the logging code from someone who has completed the lab cache, there was a promotion a while back that let members (perhaps only premium members, I forget) create a one-shot lab cache that could be logged once, by only one geocacher. Perhaps that geocacher received hundreds of invitations to log those one-shot lab caches.
When was that promotion? He made the last 200 finds in the last 3 months or so...

I recently came across a geocacher who has logged over 1500 Lab cache finds. Beeing an unexperienced cacher myself, I found it quite interesting, so I did a little research on Lab caches and found out that about 10 or 20 of them are usually placed placed on Mega and Giga events. So I checked his profile again and I found out that he only visited 3 Megas and 2 Gigas so far. A fast calculation show that he could have only found at most a hundred Lab caches there. So, it makes me wondering, where did the rest of the finds came from? Are there any other ways to claim a find on a Lab cache?
p.s.: I'm just asking this question out of curiosity. I'm not trying to raise a suspicion that he has done something that's outside the Geocaching "standards". Maybe the additional informations can help me find my first Lab cache too...

Isn't there supposed to be a container and a logbook?

The question is, does the cache page (or the trackable page for that matter) contains personal information?
I believe that id does. Both pages contain at least a persons Geocaching username and most likely the IP (or multiple IP's) from where the owner has posted logs on the page. If someone has the "right to be forgotten", I believe they should be required to remove it if the person requests that. By this I mean completely remove it, not just archive, because archived pages still remain accessible for the viewing purposes. That is of course, my personal opinion.
