  It's the implementation of a "social credit" system. I don't know all the details but they evaluate your "social media creditworthiness" through your phone number. I don't agree to any TOS with tinder and I really doubt they "delete all my information" when I delete the account like it says. In fact my guess is they just leave your profile active if it's popular to encourage other people to "match" with you.

I wouldn’t go to the extent of saying they don’t do it, but I think it’s very unlikely due to the nature of their service. It’s different of, say, Facebook, that can do it without anyone knowing. If I got into a relationship and close my Tinder account but they kept it alive, a single friend can find it and tell my partner. If this happens too often word will spread that something shady is going on.
