# Data Protection: User Deletion Requests

**How to anonymize a user**

1. Get email associated with the account from user deletion request
2. Open admin and navigate to “Users”
3. Search for the user and copy user ID
   1. Example: <https://admin.com/#/users/**ecb31f97-dd0b-4ed4-af6a-3f80d68dbd69**/show>.
4. Open google sheets “Deleted Users” and enter user info
5. Open postman and provide your authToken
6. Get user
   1. <https://api.com/api/users/ecb31f97-dd0b-4ed4-af6a-3f80d68dbd69>
7. Delete user
8. Get user again to check if deletion was successful
9. Notify customer service that the customer account has been removed successfully **(IMPORTANT)**

The API call anonymized the user in the database but also removes it from chargebee, mailchimp and autopilot.
