Persona Help Center
In the Persona Dashboard, you can manually redact all PII associated with a Persona Account or PII specific to individual Inquiries. This article walks you through the steps for both processes.
| Action | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Redacting PII on the Account level | By redacting PII on an Account, you will irreversibly redact all its associated Inquiry PII. |
| Redacting PII from an individual Inquiry | If you redact PII from a single Inquiry, you will not prompt Persona to auto-redact PII from any other Inquiry associated with the associated Account. |
Important tips
- Redacting on the Account level will automatically and permanently redact all PII associated with the Account, including all Inquiries associated with the Account.
- If you redact PII from a single Inquiry, Persona will not automatically redact all PII from the Persona Account with which the Inquiry is associated.
