We could change this only in https://github.com/deltachat/sysadmin-pyinfra/blob/main/servers/nine.testrun.org/chatmail.ini#L27, it doesn't need to be the new default IMHO - but no blocker.

### <a name="account-deletion"></a> Account deletion

If you remove a {{ config.mail_domain }} profile from within the Delta Chat app,
then the according account on the server, along with all associated data,
is automatically deleted {{ config.delete_inactive_users_after }} days afterwards.

If you use multiple devices
then you need to remove the according chat profile from each device
in order for all account data to be removed on the server side.

If you have any further questions or requests regarding account deletion
please send a message from your account to {{ config.privacy_mail }}.

If privacy_mail is unset it will look weird, OTOH chatmail admins really should have a privacy policy and can just remove the sentence otherwise.

But we could make an if clause around the paragraph.

Maybe it's better to show a broken message than just removing the sentence. This way the user can become aware that they don't have any handle on who runs the server ;)
