I received an email from Roblox after requesting to delete my account and all associated data. They mentioned that to proceed with my request, I need to verify my identity by providing an ID. They also warned me that once the account deletion process begins, it's permanent, and I shouldn't log back in, as that could delay the request. Is it common for companies to ask for this kind of ID verification when deleting accounts?

I’ve had a similar experience trying to delete an old email account, and I had to verify my identity too. If you’re not comfortable sending your ID, consider just locking your account instead—most platforms let you make your account private or change details to keep it under the radar.
It's pretty common for companies to request ID verification when you're asking for account deletions. It’s mainly to confirm that you’re the actual account owner. A bit annoying, but it happens more often these days, especially with privacy laws in play.
You could always try to go through different avenues like changing your username or making your profile private if you don't want to provide your ID. It might not fully delete your account, but it could help keep your information safer.
Honestly, the requirement for ID to delete an account is frustrating. It seems unnecessary, especially when other companies can just delete your data upon request. If you decide to send your ID, be cautious and make sure you really trust the process.
