How other platforms handle this
We will promptly destroy personal information at the end of the retention period, as described above. When we destroy personal information, we do so in a way that prevents that information from being restored or reconstructed.
When the retention period is over, we will delete your Personal Information or keep it in a form that does not identify you when this retention period is over.
We may retain some of your Data even after you cease to use our Services, for instance if the Data is necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as tax and accounting requirements.
