Delete/Obfuscate Shopper Data for Shopper Requests

GDPR and CCPA require that companies be able to delete/obfuscate a shopper's data if the shopper requests it. You can submit requests to Kibo to delete or obfuscate shopper data. To request Kibo to delete/obfuscate data:

  1. Send a request to Kibo Support. Kibo then sends you a report (in a password protected file) that details what data will be affected.
  2. Reply to Kibo Support and confirm that the data listed in the report is the data you want to delete/obfuscate. Upon receiving confirmation, Kibo starts deleting/obfuscating the data listed in the report.
