This is pretty shocking. I never use Glassdoor anyway, so deleted my account after reading. Worth noting that going to Settings only shows a button that says "Deactivate account", which seems misleading. Following this process does show a modal at the end that says "Account Deleted Confirmation. You have successfully deleted your account.", so seems like this is actually deletion vs. deactivation. (Your data stays in an archive DB for some period of time for legal reasons.)

Careful: Those are just words, written by someone who thought that the difference between them is insignificant. (Maybe it was insignificant when it was actually written.) Without having concrete confirmation, all you have is just some optimistic assumption.

At the bottom there's a Data Request Form.

You have the option "Delete my personal data"

also worth noting that if you attempt to go in via the mobile page, specifically to delete an account that predates "fish bowl" and mandatory names, you'll be bombarded with cascading popups that require your compliance (no x to exit, just "next" and filling in the relevant forms).

Based on this story, I already knew to expect resistance, but jesus fuck that was far worse than I imagined.
