In this case cloudflare has produced a legal effect with putting the domain into pending delete because this is an ownership transfer back to the registrar (of a property they don't even own, so stupid...).

For me deleting my domain would be far worse than deleting my telephone number and significantly affect me. But yes, this is a case by case decision.

I just wanted to say something like: You have rights. Don't be afraid to use them. These companies are not above the law.
