Want to just add my voice to others who’ve already said this isn’t true.
I work at a company where the task to ensure that every last shred of a person’s data is deleted when they leave the service took a whole team more than a year to develop. It includes all backups and databases, and is complete shortly after 45 days have elapsed (which is in our T&C to ensure that users have enough time to migrate their data, or even reverse their decision).
- Fiahil 5y agoI also worked for companies where this isn't true. Some projects to setup Data Science / AI Pipelines for a few large companies. Not only they do delete everything upon request and it's effective after a given number of days ; but they also made sure we correctly updated a person's consent in the middle of a marketing campaign if they _withdrew_ it. They could occasionally get an additional text or email if they sent their withdrawal after they were drafted in the current batch, but that's about it. It was disclosed to the customer as well. Some do care about this stuff.
