Blizzard Entertainment (US) would be more accurate, as the policies vary between regions.

This should be automated: The deletion of a Battle.net account is permanent and cannot be reversed; also, all games, assets and history will also be permanently deleted.

Sure, the account deletion is permanent, but they do mention that they may retain some information for reasons like (d) comply with law enforcement requests pursuant to lawful process, (e) for scientific or historical research, no? This to me suggests that they will still have enough personal information to give away to law enforcement even after the account is deleted.

The first bit is technically unavoidable and something I think many ignore because some information does have to be. Prime example is an order history for tax audits. May be a good idea to get a second opinion from @milesmcc or @ibarakaiev though.

"We may retain personal information to: (a) protect our business, systems, and users from fraudulent activity, (b) to address technical issues that impair existing functionality, (c) necessary for us, or others, to exercise their free speech or other rights, (d) comply with law enforcement requests pursuant to lawful process, (e) for scientific or historical research, (f) for our own internal purposes reasonably related to your relationship with us, or to comply with legal obligations."

Material changes would qualify as revision notifications, and should bring this score up
