This is a very old post (2020) of mine and was discussed at the time - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24605785

No idea why it has resurfaced now.

The given examples are clearly not marketing emails. As a previous customer, a change to current privacy policy is still relevant.

Yeah CF still carries some annoying startup energy and it's fine to hate them, but this didn't move my needle.

Is this still happening? What's the rationale behind this post?

Cloudflare still sends marketing emails to registered users, but they've improved their opt-out process since 2020 with a clearer unsubscribe link at the bottom of all communications that actually works.

No, you're missing the point. Also one or more of the emails are not marketing emails.

The point is that they say they delete your data, but actually don't.

The issue isn’t that they are emailing, or even that he is receiving the emails. The issue is that they are not deleting his data even after they pinky promised they did.

You can file a GDPR complaint in responsible institution in your country.
