A comment on Show HN: Tech Companies That Won't Delete Your Information.

This page doesn't make sense: you say Tech Companies That Won't Delete Your Information at the top, and then immediately list, e.g. "Outlook Mail: Delete Account? Yes".

This makes them sound like they do delete your account information. If there is something specific that they don't delete, it might be best to highlight that.

Also I am unsure what "Track" means.

And how can you Delete Account be unknown? Did you try? If not, how can you claim they are naughty?

The point of me posting the list here, is to get feedback so that I can make corrections.

Hover of the Tracking text to see the explanation.

There are over 250 services in the list. Those who have the status Unknown didn't mention it clearly on their website. Feel free to make specific suggestions, and I'll make corrections.

It seems unfair to assume they won't delete it, before testing the assumption.
