Mass data deletion/retention exercise

Hello - our team/company is curious if anyone has feedback from use cases from your companies who have gone through a major mass deletion of data/purge project with Marketo in the past (removing millions of records for database compliance/cleanliness).  For example, does anyone have advice/information to look out for when we execute this type of bulk data deletions?  Has anyone gone through this exercise, and is there any feedback you have?

Thanks!

Greg

Hi @Greg_Robinson1 

 

I have gone through some large data deletions in Marketo recently for a few clients. I have a few questions for you before providing feedback.

 

  1. Can you specify the purpose of the deletions on the Marketo side?
  2. Are you integrated with SFDC? 

Thanks,

Hi,  Cory_Gabor1

Thanks for responding.  Here is the detail:

 

  • Can you specify the purpose of the deletions on the Marketo side?
    • Both for being over contract by several million records, and for GDPR purposes
  • Are you integrated with SFDC? 
    • Yes

thanks!

Greg
