What stays out there
Deleting your Gumtree account ends your data there. It doesn't remove a phone number or name from an old ad that was scraped, cached by search engines, or added to people-search sites and caller-ID databases.
Serus finds where your details are listed and removes them, so the copies that outlive the account don't stay out there.
