Welp I guess this is the perfect example of companies not deleting your credentials and account info when asking for it... I deleted my Notion account several years ago. And completely randomly today got an email from them about data retention, assuming this is one of those "important" emails they have to send out. Sadly, years ago I wasnt using email-aliases like I am today, so still stuck with them having my email. Fuck I hate this so much. Thought I'd just share this lesson, use alises my friends!

I got an email from century link yesterday asking how my service was, when I had it disconnected 8 years ago, and I got one from apple today about my account, when I deleted it 10 years ago. They don't care.

yep, they couldnt give two shits, and all the lawsuits in the world are too weak to do anything meaningful.

Always protect yourself first and foremost, never trust anyone unless you have to!
