Retrieve the party ID for each email address.
Export data for each associated party ID.
Make this request for each Data Cloud profile.
If multiple individual profiles link to a Unified Individual, request a copy for
each profile.
If the customer data is stored in source or external systems, request that those
vendors export the data.
