    I wonder how permanent closure is different from permanent lockout, but maybe it is similar enough in this case (I expect, they keep your data in the latter case)

        They would dump your data asap. They want no record that they illegally let a minor use their site.

        they’d keep it just to show that once they found out the account was a minor’s, they closed the account immediately. it’s proof of compliance.

          But they certainly wouldn’t share that 12yo’s information with other companies to prove how good a company they are in shutting down a 12yo’s account, giving other companies all the information from the 12yo’s account to help the other companies better shut down future 12yo’s accounts.
