After you request deletion of your Apple ID account, we verify that you are the account-holder who made the request. After this verification is complete, account details and data associated with your Apple ID are permanently deleted from Apple’s servers. At that point, you can no longer sign in to your account or access any data, content, services, or appointments that were associated with your Apple ID.
When you delete your Apple ID, Apple makes our best effort to delete all personal data associated with your account. However, we are required to retain past transaction information for financial reporting purposes, and we may be required to retain certain information to comply with a court settlement or other ongoing legal procedure. We also retain a one-way hash of the email address of the deleted account to comply with legal obligations, and for so long as necessary for the legitimate interests of demonstrating our compliance with data protection laws and for account security. This hash of your email address will be retained as evidence that Apple complied with your deletion request. For third-party (non-Apple) domain accounts, the one-way hash is deleted after six years. For other accounts, this hash is retained in line with our retention policy, which is reviewed regularly. Apple does not use the hash of the email address for any other purpose.
