Data Subject Erasure Requests (DSRs) allow individuals to request the deletion of their personal data, as required by privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA. These requests are an important part of protecting user privacy and staying compliant with data regulations. In Inflection, DSRs can be handled either manually or through automated integrations

   Note:

   The CSV file must include a header named "email".

   Optionally, a "reason" column may be added for auditing purposes. If not provided, it will be updated as “User requested deletion”

4. Review the warnings displayed carefully. To confirm the erasure, type “DELETE” in the confirmation field.

   

5. Once the request is processed, a CSV export will be available listing all contacts that were successfully erased.

   Note:

   The exported CSV will only include email addresses that were successfully removed. Contacts that do not exist in the database, contain invalid email formats, or fail validation for any other reason will not appear in the export.
