In plain words
You have the right to ask a company to let you see, copy, correct and delete your information. If the service has ended, the retention period has run out, or you have withdrawn your consent, the company should delete it on its own. If it refuses you, it must give its reasons, and if it does nothing, you can sue it directly in court. Closing an account and deleting information are two different things: after closing an account, you still have to make a separate request to delete.
