User PermissionS Needed

Note Administrators and users with Modify All Data permissions can determine if access to certain fields should be restricted while the information spillage cleanup is underway.

A timely response to customer data information spillage is critical to reduce the impact of the spillage. Customers must first delete any data exposed by the spillage, and then take the steps to permanently delete that data from Salesforce.

Note
Note Salesforce isn't able to assess, determine, or confirm the types of data that customers authorize for storage. Salesforce can’t provide direct data management support.

After an information spillage is identified, it’s your responsibility to delete all data related to the information spillage from your org.

  1. Delete exposed data through the interface or API.
  2. Open your recycle bin.
  3. Select the items you want to permanently delete from the recycle bin. Click delete.
  4. To permanently delete all items in the org recycle bin, click empty org recycle bin.
  5. Request a physical delete of the data. Create a support case.
Note
Note Customers using Shield Platform Encryption to encrypt the relevant data can choose to perform a cryptographic erase by destroying their encryption key material, which renders the data inaccessible and unusable. Caution must be taken with this approach to minimize data loss.
