What does that have to do with wifi certificates?

If you add CA certificates for the Wifi they probably (I'm not sure if you can tell it manually to not do that) are added to the system-wide trust store. IE and Chrome check that for CAs, Firefox will soon (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1265113)

(all this for Windows, I believe the same is true for OS X, Linux depends on your specific your setup)

How do you know this for a fact? If the roles were reversed would you delete? Or would you just like and say you did?

If I were in charge of a publicly traded company I most definitely wouldn't want a scandal like that lurking beneath the surface. It would absolutely leak.

If I were representing a big, well known company with lots of money to give out in settlements, I'd be much more likely not to say anything than to bother lying.

(Tedious disclaimer: my opinion only, not speaking for anybody else. I'm an SRE at Google.)

I can happily endorse the company's public statements on this subject: personal data will be deleted within the timeframes specified (for obvious technical and that's-a-bad-idea reasons, it's not instant). Part of SRE's function is to arrange for SLAs to be met, including deletion SLAs.
