Don't do this.
Why?
It would be complete bullshit, but clearly the people on the other end would be too stupid to recognize it as such. So there's really no reason not to do it as long as you're aware that it's an empty threat.
I think you could achieve the same without bullshitting by simply saying "Please delete my data within 30 days or I will report you to the relevant authorities", but each to their own.

It doesn't matter since none is needed for this. I understand that the goal is to add filler with intimidating legalese, but I doubt that customer "support" is going to react as they expect.
