At my job we do it semi-automatic; i.e. there are automatic export tools, but emails are sent forth and back first.

This is because we've received only a handful of requests and because there isn't an automatic system for the extra layer of authentication comparable to answering an email with a token in it.

Come to think of it, this places an even bigger value on email: You can probably get all of someone's private data from external sites once you have their email. As if it wasn't a big enough part of stealing someone's identity already; now you can properly steal people's pasts!
