      If you truly want it gone, you need to use their special form: https://help.glassdoor.com/s/privacyrequest?language=en_US

        Companies like to keep posts/comments/other data, but they rarely keep the history of changes you’ve made to that data.

        So before deleting the account, replace all the data in it with garbage. Then it wont matter if they keep it.

      Although it is now called “deactivate”

      Which is funny, because after doing so they give you a popup messaging explicitly stating that your account is deleted.

      Can’t trust them at all.
