There is no way to do that. Even if you close your account, the data 
remains in their system.

If you're concerned about identity theft, freeze your credit. There is 
no charge to do this and no need to pay for a service like LifeLock. See 
<https://www.identitytheft.gov/#/CreditBureauContacts>. Before you apply 
for any new credit you can unfreeze your credit.
