Interesting, I was hoping I could delete the email after I created the account. And I found it in the settings and just deleted my email. I hope the database does not store previous emails, but I guess this is up to the admins.

Well I would say the devs have the most say in wether or not your email is deleted but your instance is the devs lol. One of us could check the code

I'd trust them on a personal level myself to do what's right for privacy
