Tell HN: Interviewed with Triplebyte? Your profile is about to become public

I tried deleting my account and apparently it takes 30 days for some reason! That looks so shady!

  We're processing your request and should be done within 30 days.

  We will verify your request using the information associated with your account. Government identification may be required and we may ask you for more information in order to verify your identify.

  Any questions? Email us at privacy@triplebyte.com

If you are in California, CCPA might be of some help.

Article 4(b) actually states that to verify you you (for a data delete request), they must do their best to use info they already have on you, and "Avoid collecting the types of personal information identified in Civil Code section 1798.81.5, subdivision (d)"

and in 1798.81.5,(d)(1)(A)(ii) we see: "Driver’s license number"

4(c) also helps: "A business shall generally avoid requesting additional information from the consumer for purposes of verification."

So if they can verify you another way, they must, and cannot ask for the DL (likely the only ID many people have)!, if i read that correctly

So instead of jumping through their hoops, file a CCPA request and have them chew on that.
