   I have yet to have a company respond to a deletion request with, "We're not required to delete your data so we won't," though for some inexplicable reason Condé Nast felt compelled to say, "We're not required to delete your data, but we're nice so we will anyway."

     Judging from my experience submitting account deletion requests to sites that won't let me change my email address (see my #ChangeOfAddress thread), most companies nowadays are honoring deletion requests even for users in states that don't have laws requiring them to do so.
     This is a a very good thing, and it's another example of pro-consumer California law benefiting the entire country.
