Lol, I don't have a meta account, yet I get a newsletter (had oculus, didn't agree to transfer).

I am 100% certain no company deletes anything and just moves stuff to a shadow database, sometimes not even that.

    It's usually just flagged as deleted, so the system shouldn't interact with the data anymore. Often this is done for compliance reasons since some regulations require several years of data retention.
