At this point, it's pretty safe to just assume that any personal data any company has about you will be leaked sooner or later.

I mean, if you live forever and cannot die by any means, your odds of getting stuck somewhere approaches 100% (fall in a pit, landslide, fall overboard on a boat, stuck in the sun, lost in space, etc).

I imagine it is the same for data. The longer it is available, the more likelihood of it getting out of the company.
