Robinhood says millions of customer names, email addresses taken in data breach
Last year I told Robinhood to "delete (not just close) my account and related data." I hadn't used the service in years and wanted to reduce their annoying "your account statement: still $0" emails as well as to reduce my online exposure to data breaches.<p>Now I get an email from them that not only did they not do what I asked, they did indeed serve my data to criminals.<p>Is there some legal mechanism to <i>compel</i> companies to delete your data rather than this "soft-delete" garbage? Registering an account with a new website these days feels more and more like a stain one will never be able to wash away.
