GDPR breach?

I go to a sports injury clinic for treatment.

today I get a text from an unknown number to me saying it’s the person I normally see there and they have left and are now working locally to me if I would still like to see them.

I’ve been in contact with the clinic and yes that person is no longer working there and I tell them I’m not happy about this contact and this person contacting me. The receptionist rang me back a bit later to say that my personal data is safe, the person who owns the clinic has asked her to ring me and assure me all is ok.

I’ve blocked the number that text me. I’m not sure whether to leave it at that or what to do.

I used to work in an environment where GDPR was pushed down our throats and I’m annoyed this person just thinks they can nick my phone number.

OP, I think you're fully justified to be annoyed about this - companies and individuals have legal obligations that they need to fulfil with regard to keeping and using personal data.
