Help please- underage account from years ago

Hi, just posting on here so i could hopefully get some reassurance. I created a POF account 7 years ago when i was underage (a child). I used a strangers email and my phone number at the time (that I’ve since changed). I obviously no longer remember the username or password that i used (or the email because it was random).

I believe i used a fake name and photo at the time but cant remember (which makes me worry that i put personal things on the profile but can no longer remember if i did so or not). I remember i deleted the app (not the account which was a mistake) on the exact same day i created the profile. And have not been active ever since.

This is a mistake that I’ve carried anxiety and worry over the years because i was never sure whether the account was still out there. I have read that plenty of fish privacy policy (under GDPR since im in the UK) states that they close accounts after 2 years of inactivity, im just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with accounts that have definitely not been active in years ? Or are just a couple of months.

I emailed safety@pof.com yesterday after i finally managed to find the old phone number used to create the account (i changed it a couple of years ago). I have now asked them to clarify whether or not any account linked to that number is still active or not.

Sorry for the long post i guess im just looking for some reassurance ? Thanks
