Tl;Dr - when you close your account if you live in the EU you have the right to demand that they permanently remove any and all personal information from their system. The link above explains how to fill out the digital form. Don't leave fandom a scrap of information that they can use to monetize.

There's no "standard form", but if you write Fandom they are required to respond, under penalties of up to 10M euros or 2% of the entire company's yearly profit for failure to comply in a reasonable time. The exact details of what they are required to provide are below. If you're unhappy with Fandom's latest changes to Gamefaqs, and are planning on leaving the site, at least consider sending a request first (along with your right to be forgotten in the EU) so they have to do all this work.

1. The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data and the following information:
2. the purposes of the processing;
3. the categories of personal data concerned;
4. the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;
5. where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
6. the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing;
7. the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
8. where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source;
9. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
10. Where personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 relating to the transfer.
11. 1The controller shall provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. 2For any further copies requested by the data subject, the controller may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. 3Where the data subject makes the request by electronic means, and unless otherwise requested by the data subject, the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic form.
12. The right to obtain a copy referred to in paragraph 3 shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

Attribution You must give appropriate credit , provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made . You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.

No additional restrictions You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

ShareAlike If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

All CC license versions prohibit licensees (as opposed to licensors) from using effective technological measures such as digital rights management software to restrict the ability of those who receive a CC-licensed work to exercise rights granted under the license. To be clear, encryption or an access limitation is not necessarily a technical protection measure prohibited by the licenses. For example, content sent via email and encrypted with the recipient's public key does not restrict use of the work by the recipient. Likewise, limiting recipients to a set of users (e.g., with a username and password) does not restrict use of the work by the recipients. In the cases above, encryption or an access limitation does not violate the prohibition on technological measures because the recipient is not prevented from exercising all rights granted by the license (including rights of further redistribution).
This treatment was re-evaluated during the public process leading to release of the version 3.0 license suite. CC considered arguments in favor of such measures, coupled with an obligation of parallel distribution; these arguments were also reconsidered during the 4.0 process. However, in both versioning processes, those arguments were ultimately rejected.
Note that in 4.0, CC introduced a definition of Effective Technological Measures. This definition is not intended to change the scope of what is and is not allowed, but instead provide long-needed clarification over the scope of the prohibition.
