> According to Discord, only a small number of users were part of this test, in which any information submitted could be stored for up to seven days before it would be deleted.

Ah yes, we only store it for 7 days. During those 7 days, we pass it to Persona, and who knows how long they keep it!

Discord's previous statement:

> "Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation"

So now it's not "immediately" but 7 days? I don't know how anyone can trust any statement from these guys.

"I don't know how anyone can trust any statement from these guys."

this is the fun part, you can't!

The way I read that is Discord would delete your data, but they were taking an intentionally hands off approach to the data broker they subcontracted to identify you.

The one thing you can trust is this:

If a tech company says something to you, and they don't give you the means to verify it on your own, they are lying to you. Do not trust anything they say, ever.
