Why would a web site keep my signup information for a limited time only?
- by Alois Mahdal
I have just created account at (some web service, well, actually it was Transifex, a localization service). Registration form requested typical things: accont name, e-mail adress, password (twice), and, optional company name and phone number.
What confused me was this sentence on confirmation page (the one right after submitting the form):
We will store your signup information for 7 days on our server.
Can anybody explain what does this mean?
What exactly they are referring to by "signup information", if it's something that should be kept for only 7 days? Or is my account going to be destroyed after that time? (Well, that could make sense for some special services, but not for this one.)
