Description

When a user requests that their personal data be removed, Akismet has a duty to discard any personal data we store outside of the comment itself. Right now, that is limited to the copy of the comment we store in the akismet_as_submitted commentmeta.

FWIW, this information would be automatically deleted after 15 days.

Usage

$array = Akismet_Admin::erase_personal_data( $email_address, $page );

Parameters

$email_address

( mixed ) required –

$page

( mixed ) optional default: 1 –

Returns

array
