I don't use this, but I also don't really use any traditional social media. I have an account on HN obviously but it feels a lot less tracked and invasive than Facebook, etc. Probably because the business model is different, on Reddit we're there to look at overt ads for paying third party companies, HN is tailored towards us looking at more subtle ads for the companies they invest in and building their social capital in the dev community.
That being said, I'd be very wary about using a service like this (from a user's perspective) where one company, one WAF, one person, one error is the only thing stopping all of my data being deleted or exfiltrated. It seems like a single point of failure waiting to happen.
If I was the company (and I have been), I'd just make it easy and fast to let my users delete and manage their data and collect as little as possible. Don't hide it behind 5 menus, 4 pages, 3 password entries and an email confirmation with a 14 day waiting period; instead focus on providing a service people don't feel creeped out by and decide to leave.
They have a typo for "integration" on their landing page imagery. A typo is obviously a small thing to nitpick, but this is a landing page, from a business perspective this is likely the most important page on their website so you would expect this is where all their internal eyes would be. It's also something I'm almost confident I would have caught in a pull request so it doesn't point to great testing standards on their end.
