I've discovered this when an alert came that my name has come up in a Google search.
I noticed that I had an "inactive" account on gitpay. There was a "sign in with Github" link, which I figured if I activated my account, I would have the ability to delete my account so I can purge this record.
The problem is, there is no way to do this since after you OATH with github, the site says "account management is coming soon"
This is not cool in my opinion for 2 reasons:
1) No service should create a profile (active or non-active) without your knowledge or consent
2) There should be a way for you to delete your own account. The fact that this service is live and doesn't have account management features... that's just absurd. How can one feel that it's appropriate to ship a service that has no such features?
It also turns out that all of my colleagues and github followers also have "inactive" accounts with gitpay and they never knew they had those.
I've attempted to contact who I believe is behind gitpay to no avail... so I decided to post a pull request for the feature to delete accounts. It's not the most elegant code, but it's a start that will at least allow me to delete my own account.
