@_elena@mastodon.social We may find that this information isn't actually tied to the original signup and ID verification but is instead analyzed from interaction with the system and correlation with data sources available for purchase. Could also be that they go ahead and let the AI that analyzes your ID train itself on that information. Then "delete" the original. Then the information isn't stored, the weights to help the AI "recall" the information are stored. I'm semi-fluent in doublespeak.
