According to the US law:

Of course there are exceptions but unless this website is a massive honeypot, it shouldn't be a problem.

The CCPA provides that consumers “… have the right to request that a business delete any personal information about the consumer which the business has collected from the consumer [emphasis added].” The CPRA does not amend the wording of this right.
The VCDPA provides that consumers “… have the right to delete personal data provided by or obtained about the consumer [emphasis added].” The VCDPA’s deletion right is therefore broader than that provided by the CCPA and CPRA, in that it applies to personal information that a business has collected from a consumer or that the business has collected about a consumer from another source.
The CCPA regulations allow a business to present a consumer with the choice to delete select portions of their personal information as long as a global option to delete all personal information collected from them is also offered and more prominently presented than the other choices. The CCPA regulations also provide that a business may use a two-step process for online requests to delete, where the consumer must first submit the request to delete and then, second, separately confirm that they want their personal information deleted.
