If they have a copy of your data, no matter how many privacy promises, your data could still end up sold/leaked/etc or even stored accidentally and still leaked.
What we need is independent devices that don't call home. But that's not profitable.
- tempestn 8y agoYeah, it's probably wise to have them delete your data after you download it.
- Joakal 8y agoWise, how? Even if they promised that they deleted it, it might show in logs somewhere, out of your control.
- tempestn 8y agoWhat might show in logs, your full VCF file? Regardless, it wouldn't be out of your control. Their FAQ states they're GDPR compliant, which means they're obligated to completely remove your data on request, including from things like logs and backups. Sure, you could say they might make a mistake and keep it anyway, but they would be opening themselves up to large fines. And given that they explicitly mention their GDPR compliance, presumably they have given it some thought.
