# Profile Delete

The Profile Delete allows you to mark user data for deletion given a user's email or profileId.

### Do I need to call it?

GDPR mandates that the user has a right to be forgotten, and this API allows you to respect that right in an automated way.

### Request Parameters

You may perform requests to the API using the following curl equivalent:

```js
curl -XDELETE -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <secretKey>' 'https://releva.ai/api/v0/profiles?email=<email>'
curl -XDELETE -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <secretKey>' 'https://releva.ai/api/v0/profiles?profileId=<profileId>'
curl -XDELETE -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <secretKey>' 'https://releva.ai/api/v0/profiles?phoneNumber=<phoneNumber>'
```

### Request URL Parameters

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| email | String | User’s email address. |
| profileId | String | User’s profile id. |
| phoneNumber | String | User's phone number. |

A successful response will return HTTP Status **202** with an empty response body (**{}**).

### Response Format

An error response will return a HTTP **4xx** or **5xx** status code and have the following structure:

```js
{
  "message": "A description of the error and how to fix it, if it's a client error."
}
```
