In this article, we'll explore the latest update that introduces the feature of automatically deleting user data from project statistics. This new functionality allows project administrators to manage data privacy effectively while ensuring compliance with various regulations.
Businesses in different industries can use this feature to follow data protection laws about personal data.
Overview
The essence of this feature lies in the ability to remove user data from project statistics. This includes data from lead forms, ratings, and IP addresses stored in the database. Users now have the option to delete this data immediately or configure an auto-cleansing frequency, such as every 3, 10, or 30 days.
This feature doesn't affect the overall project statistics. It still shows how many users viewed the project. It's just that now, their specific identities remain unknown.
How to Delete User Data from Statistics
Let's see how to do this using an example project. First, let's navigate to the statistics of our project. To do this, click on the "statistics/leads" button next to our project.
