If you purchase websites, website templates, site building software, web hosting, or other such website services, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit on any such web pages can be read, collected, or used by third parties, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. The Service is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you disclose using any of these services.
Notes
Open to interpretation.
Even if there is a reasonable delay before the data is fully deleted (as is common), the data still counts as "permanently deleted" and satisfies the parameters for this question.
Score
Notes
There is no information on deleting your account.
This may come in the form of outright data sharing or by using local third-party analytics software (such as Google Analytics, which collects a plethora of user information).
Note that whether the policy allows sharing aggregated user data does not affect this question.
If the personal data is encrypted when it passes through the third-party, it does not count as third-party access (as the data is inaccessible to that party).
If personal data has been made public by, for example, posting it to a blog, it does not count as private personal information (and is therefore not considered by this question).

The Service does not share your information with any external third parties except when absolutely necessary, as listed here in this Privacy Policy, or when authorized by you. We do not sell information to mailing lists, or send advertisements on behalf of other companies.
If you are registering a domain name, your contact information will be listed on the public Whois service. This listing is required by ICANN. Further, ICANN requires the Service to submit your contact information and personal data associated with your domain name registration to an ICANN-approved third party data escrow service provider, such as Iron Mountain Digital. In addition, the central registries require the Service to submit to them your contact information and personal data associated with your domain registration.
When placing any order, we submit your billing information to the payment processor.
If you are purchasing a digital (SSL) certificate, all information that you provide us that forms the content of a digital certificate will be "published" on the internet. Publication of digital certificates in an accessible location (a repository) is an integral part of enabling the widespread use of digital certificates. Your digital certificate will be published in our repository, or that of the providing vendor, so that a third party may access, review, and rely upon your digital certificate. You should have no expectation of privacy regarding the content of your digital certificate. The exact information that appears in a digital certificate varies depending on the type of certificate you purchase. Generally, this information includes your name or company name, the subject domain name, country, status of certificate validity, and dates of certificate validity.
If you use a forum or bulletin board tool on our website, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. The Service generates a user ID to be associated with your account that is unique and different from your account username, for the specific purpose of allowing you to use these forums without disclosing your account information. The user ID may contain information related to your physical location or name initials. You have the option of changing your forum user ID in your account settings. The Service is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you submit in these forums.
If you purchase websites, website templates, site building software, web hosting, or other such website services, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit on any such web pages can be read, collected, or used by third parties, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. The Service is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you disclose using any of these services.
The Service is a reseller of the site building software offered on its website. If you purchase site building software through the Service, you should be aware that we are required to share your name and contact information with the vendor for whom we are a reseller.
If you submit a complaint to us about our Service or about any one of our customers, the Service reserves the right to share your name and contact information with the party against whom you are lodging the complaint, with a law enforcement agency, or with a third party during the course of a legal or administrative proceeding, as we deem necessary in our sole discretion.
Though the Service makes every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on us.(Please see our Subpoena Policy.)
