Get and Delete User Information
In the Data Privacy Compliance Manager, you can retrieve user information and create a downloadable ZIP-file. This .ZIP-file contains CSV-files which are tab separated. Please, therefore, be advised that the delimiter is tabs. It also contains a "Readme" file that has a description and a disclaimer along with useful tips for the end-user to be able to make sense of this information. The process of getting user information is an asynchronous one. Depending on the load on the system, and how much data there is about the particular user, the data to be available for download might take from a few minutes to several hours.

Delete User Information
According to GDPR, users have the right to ask you to delete any data about them. You can do this in the Data Privacy Compliance Manager.
User data is anonymized according to the following rules:
- Data will be anonymized based on the URM Visitor ID (EID), which is not the "EID" cookie (internally called DEID or device cookie). Same is true for user data retrieval (Get user info).
- All data that is related to that end user will be anonymized (or retrieved) even if this user is using different devices.
- A user data retrieval is prevented if a device was used by different users when you request via a device cookie.
Example
If a family device is used with different logins by members of that family on your website it will not be retrieved. Doing so, the exposure of data to the wrong person will be prevented. For anonymization, you will be asked to specify another identifier (e.g. customer ID or order ID) because using only device cookie, there is no means to determine the actual user that requested deletion for shared devices.
- Visitor data in Marketing Automation will be deleted.
- URM data will also be deleted as keeping demographic information about the end user would be redundant once anonymized.
