NordVPN literally will not let me delete my account. My 3 years is over, there is no method to delete when signed in to their site. You have to fill out a form with your payment details and shit to "verify your identity" (who remembers that shit from 3 years ago).
Literally emailed from the email associated with the account, called, logged in, etc. they won't delete it until I send my credit card info in the clear, over insecure email.
FUCK NORDVPN
If you are in the EU I think you are legally allowed to request they delete all your data. Might be worth it.
They can use nordvpn to change their location to the EU then send the email
it is how a joke works, but I gotta say it's not a very good one.
That actually is how email works, assuming you use a local client vs a web client. The headers will contain the origin IP it was sent from. Easy enough to geo locate and see it's European.
