     @ilyess It is, at first. I was there when "Project Clementine" was undertaken to actually delete people's data. My guess is that this is happening during the window between when the user thinks it's deleted and its actually being deleted. I don't remember the actual timeframe, but it's set by law. The moral of the story is the sooner you delete your data the safer you'll be.

     @freakazoid Deletion is nothing but setting a boolean value in a database.
