I am in the process of moving out some contacts from Google Contacts, specifically those that I do not have a Gmail address. It’s a way for me to give these people a tiny bit more privacy, as I’m doing a cleanup of my contact list. My concern is that Google will still keep their data even after I delete it from my end. Is it so? Or does removing a contact really delete it from there?
They will keep it for some time, than delete, idk how long. Even ‘private’ Proton won’t delete you emails when you press delete button, they keep them up to 2 weeks, if I rememeber correctly when read their policy.
