# Recipients' Data Erasure API

The Recipients' Data Erasure API allows Twilio SendGrid customers to delete their own customers' email-related personal data from the Twilio SendGrid Platform. This feature helps customers comply with data privacy regulations.

> \[!NOTE]

> The Recipients' Data Erasure API isn't enabled for all customers by default.
