Why Delete Users and PII in Zendesk?
Why might I need to delete users and their PII from Zendesk?
Deleting users and their personally identifiable information (PII) from Zendesk might be necessary due to regulations like GDPR.
These regulations grant individuals the right to erasure, meaning they can request to have their personal data deleted. This is particularly relevant for users from certain regions where such regulations are enforced. When you permanently delete users, it's important to also consider if their data in the audit log needs to be removed to comply with these regulations.
