But only if you had a google account. No deleting your shadow profile User:1239875742, that feature is reserved only for those willing to give us their phone number.

Is there any evidence that Google has a shadow profile for people? I know that it was revealed that Facebook did/does and everyone assumed that Google probably does too but I don't think I've ever seen evidence that this is the case.

Disclosure: I work for Google, but I'm genuinely curious. I've seen no evidence of "shadow profiles" but it is a big company so I couldn't say for sure one way or another.

I might be missing something, does FB allow you delete the data from your shadow profile if you don't have/create an account ?
