Automatic Personal Data Deletion

If your site has Automatic Personal Data Deletion enabled in the Pelcro Platform
(Settings → Site Settings → Automatic Personal Data Deletion),
then after you delete a customer through this API, Pelcro will automatically:

Clear or redact personal information related to that customer across associated objects (addresses, subscriptions, payment methods, exports, and activity logs).
Ensure that this data can no longer be linked to the user, in line with international privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR).

This process happens automatically once a customer has been deleted.

See Automatic Personal Data Deletion for details on how this feature works and what data is cleared.
