Elastic Path Personal Data Erasure Requests API is one of 100 APIs that [Elastic Path](https://apis.io/providers/elastic-path/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Personal Data Erasure Requests. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

Erasure requests enable you to exercise the right, referred to in regulations such as GDPR, as the right to be forgotten or right to erase. Erasure requests allow you to wipe out personal data from Commerce in an automated way, including: * All related resources (for example, addresses, customers, and so on.) * Personal Data Logs Erasure requests can be created for any data entry in the personal data set (see [Personal Data Concept](/docs/api/personal-data/personal-data-introduction) for details), and the result is the same. :::note Currently, it does not include flows or data external to Commerce. ::: Erasure requests are processed asynchronously. The POST requests return immediately, and processing continues in the background. You can use the GET endpoint to poll for results until you see `{..."status":"SUCCESS"...}` in the response body. In the unlikely event an erasure request fails (if the status is not equal to `SUCCESS`), you are advised to retry by creating another erasure request. If the problem persists, contact Support. :::note Currently, personal data management is only enabled for a limited set of endpoints. See the [personal data concepts page](/docs/api/personal-data/personal-data-introduction) for the list of endpoints that support personal data management. ::: Seller Admin & IT users have full access to Erasure Requests, and Support users have read access.
