2018 Changes to User Data Handling in Zendesk Insights

Understand the 2018 changes in Zendesk Insights for user data handling, aimed at enhancing privacy protection and compliance.

Why were changes made to user data handling in Zendesk Insights in 2018?

In May 2018, temporary changes were made to Zendesk Insights to protect user privacy by replacing ticket submitter names with their IDs. This was a step towards better privacy compliance.

These changes have since been updated to replace user names with 'SCRUBBED' when a user is deleted, further enhancing privacy protection. This update ensures that personal data is not retained in reports, aligning with privacy and data protection laws.
