• The --output flag specifies where to output/save the exported customer data. Several notes on this flag:
  • If the file specified already exists, it will be overwritten.
  • The default location for status report logging is the standard output.
  • If no output path is specified, the exported data will be logged to the standard output as a result, status reports will be logged to a personal-data-erasure.log file in the current directory.

JS

For more direct usage, it is possible to use this module directly:

import PersonalDataErasure from '@commercetools/personal-data-erasure'

const options = {
    apiConfig: {
      apiUrl: 'https://api.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com'
      host: 'https://auth.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com'

        clientSecret: '*********'
      }
    },

  }
}
const logger = {
  error: console.error,
  warn: console.warn,
  info: console.log,
  debug: console.debug,
}

const PersonalDataErasure = new PersonalDataErasure(options, logger)

// function to get all data related to customer
PersonalDataErasure.getCustomerData(outputStream)

// function to delete all data related to customer
PersonalDataErasure.deleteAll(outputStream)
