Or something like AWS S3 vault lock. You pay up front and specify the duration. And at that point you can't even delete the data if you want to. You can remove you're credit card from account billing, and they still keep the data for the specified duration.

I think that people generally overestimate how much money tech companies like this one actually make. Their profits are tiny. A lot of the time, tech companies run on investment money, and can't actually turn a profit. They wait for the big acquisition or IPO payday. So if you think you're actually gonna get 100k off them, good luck. Sometimes they're barely keeping the lights on.
