    They don’t seem to allow account deletions. Does it mean that this could include accounts that they still keep but people don’t use their services anymore?

      It could be account information from partnerships e.g. bundles, old customers, subsidiary companies, or something else entirely.

      Your guess is as good as mine.

      I would expect that number to be much higher than 4 million.
