> why would you ever delete someone's data when it's literally only 160 KB of text?

Compliance? The contract has expired, so there’s no legal basis for them to keep your data?



Seems like that could be addressed with some fine print in the initial agreements. "In the event that you stop paying us, we may keep your data for up to N days unless directed otherwise by you"--or similar.


Why would they bother?


Even with GDPR, you can easily keep that data around for a few months or a year unless the customer requests deletion.
