I've been doing the same after the LastPass incident (I haven't used it in a couple of years, but for old accounts I didn't do a good job of updating passwords).
I agree it's surprising how many companies don't allow account deletion online; it's also surprising how many privacy policies link to dead URLs or email addresses (that literally bounce) if they even mention a "request to delete" at all. Plus many others that use the stupid bots for customer support or a form with a dropdown that doesn't include anything about privacy / account, just product support.
But totally don't use any of these websites, they are very likely collecting and disseminating your data themselves.
- extr0pian 4y ago> it's also surprising how many privacy policies link to dead URLs or email addresses Agreed, many privacy policies I've come across are crap and seem like it was copy/pasted from elsewhere. I just recently tried to delete an account last week, and the email address in their privacy policy was literally "support@[company]1234.test".
