The Recipients' Data Erasure API allows Twilio SendGrid customers to delete their own customers' personal data from the Twilio SendGrid Platform. The use of this API facilitates the self-service removal of email personal data from the Twilio SendGrid platform and will enable customers to comply with various obligatory data privacy regulations.
The Recipients' Data Erasure API is available to customers that want to delete their recipients' data. Please file a support ticket to request access to this API.
This operation allows you to delete your recipients' personal email data
The Delete Recipients' Email Data operation accepts a list of 5,000 email_addresses or a total payload size of 256Kb per request, whichever comes first. Upon a successful request with this operation, SendGrid will run a search on the email addresses provided against the SendGrid system to identify matches. SendGrid will then delete all personal data associated with the matched users such as the recipients' names, email addresses, subject lines, categories, and IP addresses.
All email addresses are filtered for uniqueness and tested for structural validity—any invalid addresses will be returned in an error response.
Please note that recipient data is deleted for the account making the request only—deletions do not cascade from a parent account to its Subusers' recipients. To delete a Subuser's recipients' data, you can use the on-behalf-of header.
Bearer <<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>>The on-behalf-of header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be "account-id" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>). See On Behalf Of for more information.
