People and deletion requests

Finding everything held about a person and deleting it.

What it is for#

People (/console/people) is how you honour a deletion request: find everything held about one person by their email, and delete it. This is the procedure the privacy notice promises — a person emails the studio, and you run this search and deletion.

Searching#

The search card has three parts:

Field What to enter
Email Required. The person's email. Matching is exact but ignores upper and lower case.
Name Optional. Add it if the person might be in an outreach log without an email.
Search Runs the search.

The results#

Results come in cards, one per group. Each row is a checkbox you can click anywhere on, with where the row lives (in mono), what it holds, and its date.

Group What it finds Pre-selected?
Intakes Applications with that email: status, name, email, date Yes
Leads Form leads with that email: experiment and prospect ref, name, email, date Yes
Outreach Outreach rows whose email matches, and rows tied to one of this person's leads (same experiment and prospect ref) — each shown once Yes
Possible matches — verify before selecting Only when a name was given: outreach rows with no email and no linked lead whose name contains what you typed. They might be someone else. The card is tinted. No — tick only those that are this person

Deleting#

  1. Untick anything that is not this person; tick any possible matches that are.
  2. The tinted delete bar at the bottom says how many rows matched by email are selected.
  3. Click Delete the selected rows. Everything ticked is deleted in one step, and an aqua panel reports the counts, e.g. "Deleted 1 intake, 1 lead and 1 outreach row."

What is not searched#

Visits hold only a daily one-way visitor code and cannot be linked to a person by email, so there is nothing to find there. Hours, reviews and snapshots hold no personal data. There is no export of search results, by design.
