# Introducing the new Customer Data Erasure API

As of GraphQL Admin API version **2024-01**, we are excited to introduce the Customer Data Erasure API. This API allows merchants to handle customer data erasure requests in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection regulations. The API includes two new mutations:

* [customerRequestDataErasure](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-01/mutations/customerRequestDataErasure) enqueues a request to erase customer's data.
* [customerCancelDataErasure](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-01/mutations/customerCancelDataErasure) cancels a pending erasure of a customer's data.

To learn more about how data erasure is processed and the impact on customer data, please refer to the [Shopify Help Center](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/privacy-and-security/privacy/processing-customer-data-requests#erase-customer-personal-data).
