Redact an Account

Permanently deletes personally identifiable information (PII) for an Account and all associated Inquiries, Verifications and Reports. The response indicates a successful redaction of the Account. Redaction of the Account's associated child objects is done asynchronously and may take some time before all associated child objects are fully redacted. This action cannot be undone.

This endpoint can be used to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR / CCPA or to enforce data privacy.

Note: An account is still updatable after redaction. If you want to delete data continuously, please reach out to us to help you setup a retention policy.
