Uber needs to be on the list.

They have had employees tracking their Ex's whereabouts. They have publicly boasted of being able to identify "rides of shame" after your One-night stand. They collected location information beyond what was necessary to pick you up.

Plus, you know, being union-busting, misogynistic, democracy-undermining, corner-cutting and pedestrian-killing frat boys. But the reasons above seemed to be better tailored to the intent of your list.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Newegg is going on the naughty list.

But NewEgg is famous for not bowing to patent trolls.

I have always appreciated them for that, too. Not respecting the desire to close your account is a separate issue. Fighting patent trolls doesn't make up for their refusal to let you protect your information.

This page doesn't make sense: you say Tech Companies That Won't Delete Your Information at the top, and then immediately list, e.g. "Outlook Mail: Delete Account? Yes".

This makes them sound like they do delete your account information. If there is something specific that they don't delete, it might be best to highlight that.

Also I am unsure what "Track" means.

And how can you Delete Account be unknown? Did you try? If not, how can you claim they are naughty?

This makes little sense: Slack No No 2 Kayako Yes - Difficult No 0.25 Almost the same level of issues, yet an 8X difference in the score.

I can only find documentation on how to deactivate a Slack account, not delete it. Kayako allows you to delete an account, but after multiple requests.

What do you suggest I change the weight to?

What ranking factors would you suggest I add to cover Uber?
