GDPR API reference

Adjust offers an API endpoint to facilitate Right to be Forgotten (RTBF) requests. This endpoint performs the following actions for a given device:

Permanently deletes all of the user’s personal data from Adjust for the specified app.
Stops receiving the user’s information from the Adjust SDK for the specified app.
Removes all references to the user's data in the Adjust dashboard for the specified app.

Configure your server to send requests to this API endpoint when users send RTBF requests. See our GDPR article for more information about RTBF requests.

Important:

This action is permanent. Adjust can't reinstate data previously associated with a device or receive future requests from the device once a RTBF request is sent.
