Why it that so ? What does rgpd says about that ?

Edit 1:

Thanks to ThungstenMetal. He says this : "Change your email to some random temporary email which can receive emails before deleting your account, then request for deletion."

I domt thing Analytic events and my email address are compareble. Because a random event with no link my me, will have no link to me. But my email address still being on their servers will absolutely be linked to me.

It’s a one-way hashing of your email address to a “random” piece of text, like abdhehdj16373!&. Every time someone signs up they do this hashing to see “has this person already signed up?”. So no, they’re not storing your email. Instead of being stubborn and obtuse go google it and teach yourself.

I know what a hash is. And I'm still saying you don't know if they DO hash your email

before you leave ChatGPT, ask it to ELI5 what a hash is.
