I doubt they delete anything. Just add a flag to the datastore so users do.'t see it, but they can still sell it or train AI on it or whatever.

The data is never getting deleted in the first place, “delete” just needs to set a flag for non-visibility. The language used in their disclaimer leads me to believe exactly that is what is happening.

That’s usually a monumental undertaking for sites that are majority database-driven like Glassdoor. Think multiple regional databases.
