Why would Google keep a copy of your mail if your account was deactivated for 6 years? Isn't that asking a bit much considering you were the one that broke the ToS?
- nanidin 13y agoMy hope that the tool is activated for deactivated accounts is more for people that suffer the same fate today - if they lose all access to their account, that they at least be able to get their data/life back. At least according to the page I get when I try to log in, they still have the data: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/40695?hl=en&ctx=ch_ServiceLoginAuth&p=mail https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/40695?hl=en&ctx=c... I don't disagree that Google was within their right to shutdown my account, but it seems silly that something I did at 19 has gone on this long.
- bradbatt 13y agoDoes anyone thing that Google isn't keeping a copy of every bit of data they have on everybody that has ever used any of their systems? I cannot imagine they would ever throw data away. Even if they restrict the end user from it doesn't mean that they destroy the data for their own use.
- Nitramp 13y agoIf a user wishes to delete their account, companies are legally required to delete all data associated with it, at least in many jurisdictions.
- pessimizer 13y agoWhich jurisdictions are those?
- davidgerard 13y agoThey certainly keep deleted Google+ for over two years.
- wildfire 13y agoHow do you know? Was it in click-through agreement when signing up?
- davidgerard 13y agoPeople who deleted their account over two years ago, Google reactivate it by attaching it to their YouTube profile and everything's there.
