How long did it take you to go from deleting the account on the website to reinstalling the app? From your account it seems like the two events might’ve been close together, you should allow for a few days and check back.

Send them a GDPR request for your data and another later on for its deletion. Be aware that legally they have thirty days to comply.

Yes, I did it in the same day.

But I am surprised that they are technically able to do that. My impression was that Apple had locked down this kind of things. Clearly not.

Any random ideas as to how they can technically fingerprint the device, and therefore how I could avoid it?
