This behavior from Triplebyte is unacceptable. If you live in California, there is CCPA now with financial penalties for companies that don’t comply. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Consumer_Privacy_Ac... It’s similar to Europe’s GDPR. CCPA allows sending a deletion request and they will be fined if they don’t comply.

Looking at their privacy page: https://triplebyte.com/privacy

It mentions these options for deleting:

https://triplebyte.com/privacy-center

privacy@triplebyte.com

By CCPA law, they must acknowledge and comply with a deletion request within a time limit. The fines can add up very quickly per user request if they don't comply.

EDIT: Updating my post since I looked at the deletion request forms for some other sites and it seems similar. Probably try the form first and if it doesn't work, then the email.

They deleted my account within a few hours today even though they say it may take 30 days and require ID.

They also block their deletion link with recaptcha, just to add some additional friction.
