Deleting accounts doesn't mean the company deletes your data. Even under GDPR (Everyone else is completely SOL here, I believe), they can keep if it is required for their business, unless you explicitly demand a full deletion.

Too lazy to look but I'm pretty sure Californians have that same ability, though similarly we have to request full deletion
