   I have received a mostly-reassuring reply. Here it is (with my   
   responses):

   Thank you. I thought that was probably the case, but the phrasing of the   
   new Ts and Cs made this rather hard to determine.

   Provided such notice would be sufficiently in advance of any such   
   merger/transfer that users would have adequate time to instigate   
   deletion of their data before the merger/transfer happens, I have no   
   further question.
