I do.

But if I click on it there are 2 options: subscribe and delete (I am translating from my language). No unsubscribe option is present.
In English, the buttons are "Subscribe" and "Unsubscribe". If you find one of the buttons has been translated poorly, you might open a translation bug at bugs.maemo.org.

I am afraid that clicking on delete it would erase my nokia account, while I just want that my data could not be communicated to other companies but keeping Nokia account.
Using the "Unsubscribe" button on my N900 results in me receiving a failure message via SMS from My Nokia, so I can't say what happens when use of that button succeeds. I can tell you that the expanded account controls on the My Nokia web site provide three options:
  • [receive | don't receive] tips via e-mail
  • [receive | don't receive] tips via mobile messaging
  • cancel your My Nokia account
There's no "please send me stuff, but don't ever rat me out to third parties" option. You'll need to read the terms and conditions (available from that same applet in Settings) to see if the privacy policy is acceptable to you. Admittedly, the fact that Nokia blurs the line between Ovi accounts and My Nokia accounts in those terms and conditions does make the task a difficult one.
