# Delete an Individual

Marks an individual record as deleted, removing it from active operations while preserving historical data for audit and compliance purposes. The record is no longer returned in queries or operations but remains in the system for reference and regulatory retention requirements.

 If you need to permanently purge a record and all associated data (for example, to comply with GDPR or CCPA deletion requests), use the  endpoint instead.
