I had a friend try something similar with Hello Fresh; he got a free sample from another friend but wanted to remove his data afterwards. It took a lot of deep website navigating and a phone call, and even then it was going to take “up to 60 business days” or assume BS to actually remove his data. They make it difficult to remove on purpose while technically being able to say they will.
