I have a friend that played at release, quit, played a few years later when I started, still had his release character, and his character still exists in game after he quit again nearly 3 years ago. I have a feeling your character will be fine. From my experience, CCP tends to stand apart from other companies in terms of being good to customers, current or former.
Thats standard with most MMOs so that if/should they decide to delete chars, you can't come back to them and make a fuss(you can, but they had something in writing all along saying they have the right to do so).
In EQ it wasn't uncommon for them to delete chars that were of certain age under a certain level(like 2 or so)
If you've made some significant progress, I'm sure your acct is fine. If its just a abandoned newbie character, don't be surprised to find it missing in 6months. Especially since the game is still growing in subscribers last time I heard.

a game might have a policy of deleting accounts, but that doesnt mean they will
its in the games best interest to keep all accounts that way they can always ask if you want to return...or hope you do
...if any accounts are deleted it would be the trial accounts...
but even those should be kept for the same purposes....marketing
telling you that you account can be deleted after 6 months is just a ploy to get you to return...
It's called...... < wait for it > ....... Marketing.
They are trying to persuade you to return, ie subscribe again. You know, give them money.
