What does VKontakte do with personal data after deleting the page?

Interestingly, did anyone wonder what was happening with remote pages on the social network VKontakte? Which are deleted at the request of the owner or for spam.

Why delete a unique info about a person, where many have everything, including the mobile phone? Once again, if you want to finally remove your page analyzing the work of the insides of the social network VKontakte, I came across a new domain profile I saw that got out in the search for people:



')
The search was carried out according to certain criteria, with an indication of the institute, and where did the remote page come from such information? Search error? Let's take a closer look, the found profile is in the first place with sorting by rating, the second place is rated for 200+, so we can conclude that this is not a spammer page.

Now is the time to recall the comment of the user sledopit , who in the topic about how VKontakte selects domains wrote the following:

I would have been smarter earlier, I would not register there either. But after all, after registration, it is extremely difficult to go away (to be removed, and not just close an account from everyone) from there. After three days of communication with TP, the answer was:
“We are ready to delete the page with all data on your application on the basis of the articles you cited1 - however, you need an application in writing sent by mail to our legal address with your living signature and passport data (registration address and residential address is required). Such a statement will be sufficient reason to delete the page, while protecting our interests, if you find yourself a malicious haunt trying to delete the page of the enemy. Unfortunately, the risk of such a situation in the case of e-mail is too great. "
1 mentioned Federal Law N 152- "On Personal Data".

Written "with all the data," and how to check? :) Curiosity got the better of it and I decided to check out what happened to this “deleted” page, and that's what I finally found.

First, I checked that DELETED is not the name of the owner of the page — I visited this page and received a standard message:


It seems everything is in order, but! First, the remote page, we can write a message, why is it interesting? Likely, that notifications on the mobile phone came :).


Second, the deleted page has profile pictures - an album with the prefix _0 :


There is also a second album, which is with the prefix _1 , but it is empty. When viewing the album list, a page with an Unknown Error is issued, but I do not think that they were deleted. Although, in fact, they do not hurt that need. Third, the remote page has a wall and you can send a message there:


Here, and then they will say that they saved my page in case I change my mind :). That's right, such a base for sending spam- targeted advertising, and even with the binding of a mobile phone, you can hardly find anywhere else. It is not clear why they should be displayed in the search and “fire the office”.
