Request deleting all data associated with the specified visitor ID. This API is useful for compliance with privacy regulations.
Which data is deleted?
- Browser (or device) properties
- Identification requests made from this browser (or device)
Browser (or device) properties
- Represents the data that Fingerprint collected from this specific browser (or device) and everything inferred and derived from it.
- Upon request to delete, this data is deleted asynchronously (typically within a few minutes) and it will no longer be used to identify this browser (or device) for your Fingerprint Workspace.
Identification requests made from this browser (or device)
- Fingerprint stores the identification requests made from a browser (or device) for up to 30 (or 90) days depending on your plan. To learn more, see Data Retention.
- Upon request to delete, the identification requests that were made by this browser
- Within the past 10 days are deleted within 24 hrs.
- Outside of 10 days are allowed to purge as per your data retention period.
Corollary
After requesting to delete a visitor ID,
- If the same browser (or device) requests to identify, it will receive a different visitor ID.
- If you request
/events
API with arequest_id
that was made outside of the 10 days, you will still receive a valid response. - If you request
/visitors
API for the deleted visitor ID, the response will include identification requests that were made outside of those 10 days.
