Data Cloud handles an individual’s Right to be Forgotten by deleting the specified Individual and records from any data model object/data lake object related to the Individual. This means that Data Cloud removes all the data associated with the individual from the data space, including the data from the source objects, the unified individual profile, and any related objects. Data Cloud also deletes the Unified Individual Link record that links the individual to the source records. Data Cloud uses the Consent API to process the Right to be Forgotten requests, which are reprocessed at 30, 60, and 90 days to ensure a full deletion.
The other options are not correct descriptions of how Data Cloud handles an individual’s Right to be Forgotten. Data Cloud does not delete the records from all data source objects, as this would affect the data integrity and availability of the source systems. Data Cloud also does not delete only the specified Individual record and its Unified Individual Link record, as this would leave the source records and the related records intact. Data Cloud also does not delete only the specified Individual and records from any data source object mapped to the Individual data model object, as this would leave the related records intact.
