Request Visitor data removal

Record requests for removal

Visitor requests for removal (and reinstatement) of their personal data can be recorded into a custom Salesforce object. For example, this may have fields such as:

  • Date of request

  • Opt-out confirmation

  • Which types of data are allowed to be kept

Create a form on the website that uses a mapping to create records of this custom object. These records will need to be related the Send2CRM visitor object either via identification, or through a master object such as Lead.

This mechanism could also be used to restore/reinstate recording of visitor data.

Set Visitor ignore

Use the Send2CRM visitor ignore flag to integrate with the website. Create a Flow or Trigger in Salesforce that reacts when a new record of the custom object above is created. This would:

  • Set send2crm__Ignore__c = true on the visitor record (or false if reinstating)

  • Remove any data in Salesforce as required

This also allows the visitor ignore flag to be set manually if required.

Website integration

The Send2CRM client will automatically be informed at the next visitor update that the visitor is to be ignored:

  • This will always cause the visitor to become un-identified.

  • Whether data is removed from the visitor’s web browser and/or continues to be record is dependent on the client-side ignoreBehavior setting.
