How to perform a GDPR deletion in HubSpot

To be compliant with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), in some cases, you will need to exercise the “the right to erasure” (also known as, the “right to be forgotten”) and complete user deletion requests from user management systems like HubSpot.

Manually reviewing, approving, and fulfilling multiple deletion requests in HubSpot and other data sources could become complicated and lead to human error. Notwithstanding the compliance risks that might lead to fines, and the effect it can have on your brand reputation could make it a costly issue.

MineOS developed an automated solution that helps companies complete erasure requests using API integrations. The MineOS-HubSpot integration enables you to fulfill  deletion requests from multiple data sources in minutes. 

Here’s how to manually perform a GDPR deletion in HubSpot:

  1. Go to Contact in your Hubspot account.
  2. Click on the contact you want to delete.
  3. Click Actions in the left panel and select Delete.
  4. In the dialog box, select the Permanently delete option.
  5. Click Delete contact.
