I have an email address that's pretty simple (first name, last initial) at a free email provider. I almost *never* give that out other than to "real people" in an attempt to keep it spam-free.
Unfortunately some people seem to think it's theirs or just get lazy and use it for free online signups.
One day, someone in Nebraska (Peacock told me where the device was signed in from) decides to use it to sign up for the free tier of Peacock. Not a huge deal as things like this have happened before (although it's annoying when companies do not require any sort of email verification.) I figure I'll just delete the account. (Use email to log in and then delete - simple enough.)
Unfortunately, Peacock isn't that simple.
If you ever want to delete your account (and the data associated with it) you literally have to submit an Individual Rights Request with NBCUniversal. Short version: it took an hour of my time and then perhaps a 2 or 3 week wait for it to be completed.
This probably isn't a huge deal to most, but if it is something you care about, just be aware before going in.

To watch Peacock without ads* or download select shows and movies to watch offline on your mobile device, upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus.
*Please note: due to streaming rights, a small amount of programming will still contain ads

Be sure to cancel right away, which keeps active for the full year anyway.
I also watch some Bravo shows on there (after-shows for Bravo series, like Summer House, as well as the actual series, which I usually watch on youtubetv the night shows air, then watch the aftershow the next day on Peacock - trash tv, but it's fun to me and a good reason to get Peacock if you like Bravo shows).
Also movies like Oppenheimer, which they were the first to get it as part of a paid streaming package (as in, included in package rather than a rental).
We pay the extra $5 a month for ad-free.
