1159460 - Need decision on how deleting FxAcct affects 3rd Party data

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Cloud Services :: Server: Firefox Accounts, defect, P4)

Description

[Edwin Wong [:edwong]]

If a user deletes their FxAcct, how does this affect their data on Pocket servers? 
* How will they access or export their data?
* can they still sign in with the pocket created password?

ckarlof pointed out that other Oauth providers don't have any data policy with deleted accts

:clarkbw - any word on this - we can make a decision later - maybe this doesn't block shipping.

Good call. I don't think we need to block shipping for this since we can find a solution and update the servers later to reflect that.

I agree this doesn't need to block shipping.  I mentioned in a meeting but putting it here for posterity: FxA keeps a log of all account-deletion events (indexed by uid, not by email obviously) so it should be OK for us to replay them to pocket at a later date.

We pretty obvious don't care enough about this to agitate for any changes to the status quo; I'm going to close it out but feel free to re-open if there are any lingering concerns.
