Idk if it’s possible, but you could try saying you’re now a EU citizen and you want all you data and everything related to you deleted, according to GDPR laws.
Do California's laws not allow you to sue for such violations?
In the EU the company has 30 days to comply and af they don't, you can sue for damages IIRC.
Assuming you don't live in California, and can't follow through on your threats, you're better off using GDPR - it's got more teeth.
Also feel free to harass them on whatever public forum works for you and contact their exec via LinkedIn.
Wow, even Discord is nice enough to have the Clyde Bot respond
