Netflix does that too. You can’t delete your account so they just append a string like “csr_morgan” in the domain so that your account is “deleted” (you can’t login anymore, because your email address technically doesn’t have an account anymore) and you can re-register with your email later if you wish.
But I’d you use the altered email and the same password, everything is still there.
Pretty sure this goes against GDPR but I was totally unsuccessful at getting my account deleted.

Did you report this to your local privacy regulator (the ICO in the UK for example)? Not saying they'll do anything (I guess the "4% of global turnover" fines aren't enough to motivate them) but at least there's a record of it, and if anything else, a proof of how useless the whole regulation is.
- tomjakubowski 7y agoHow did you find this out?
- ornornor 7y agoWas still logged in when they made the change, so I could see which email they changed it to.
- thewebcount 7y agoWhat happens when you re-register with the same email address and then later cancel again?
- ornornor 7y agoI dont know... I'd be curious to find out but I honestly dont have the time or motivation to figure out their broken processes.
