API for "erase personal data" functionality

[kimberketch]

Is there an API to execute the "erase personal data" functionality?

Hello @kimberketch 

Thank you for reaching out to the Shopify community.

Unfortunately, as of now, there are no REST OR GraphQL API's on Shopify to request for Erasing the personal data of a customer.  The only way here would be to request erasure from the Shopify admin panel itself. 

Steps

1. From your Shopify admin, click Customers.
2. From the customer list, click the customer profile that you want to request an erasure for.
3. Click More actions > Erase personal data.

Do give it a try and let me know if this was helpful.

Thanks.
