    Doubt.

    “Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly - in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.”

      Translation: our vendors have no idea where this data goes. If they can’t find it, it’s deleted, right?

      And this is why generic EULAs should be heavily regulated, and allowed to be negotiated like any other contract. Allow me to pencil in a “you’ll allow me to uniquely watermark the scan of my ID so it can be traced back to this specific request, and agree to pay me $500M if that scan is ever included in a data breach or sold to additional third-party vendors” clause.

      Oh, Discord doesn’t want to agree to that? Gee, if the company is deleting everything immediately and there’s no risk of a leak/intentional sale, what’s the harm in including it? How’s the saying go? Something about “if you have nothing to hide”?

        Unironically the solution here. We need a bit of a negotiation option. Some entity, I don’t know, the EU or other larger regulatory bodies need to force that one down their throat

      Maybe deleted by discord immediately. Not their vendor partners though since that’s what happened last time data was leaked.

    Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.

    Define “quickly” and why is it not always immediately after confirmation?

      quickly as in never and then leaked because they secured it with the digital equivelent of a wet paper bag left outside.

    I’m so certain you will delete the id immediately after I send it that, after carefully considering it, I deemed it a waste of time: if you are deleting my ID immediately, the time spent on sending it is better used on something more useful, like taking a dump.

    No they don’t. They need it to definitively link your data between each of the sites you frequent.

    That and your phone number. To be fair, the phone number thing does most of the legwork.
