Looks like there is no privacy. They either get everything and you get the service, or you disable it.

I know it says you can "request" info get deleted, but I'm not going to bet a quarter on that working.

I imagine that when you request data deleted it’s only anonymized, and the actual learning data is kept.

Won't this explicitly fall afoul of GDPR? My completely lay understanding is that you no longer can offer give-us-your-data-take-it-or-leave-it services in the EU.
