What is the difference between a CCPA request and the record deletion feature under Advanced Data Lifecycle?

[user48]

My understanding is that the record deletion feature is mainly for cleanup of anonymous/test data and CCPA (privacy service) is for deleting opt out of sale, or user's personal data, but do both options functionally achieve the same result?

Here’s my scenario:

• I accidentally deleted a test record using a CCPA request.

• The record was a merged profile with 3 identities: SSID (primary key), ECID, and phone.

• After the CCPA deletion (based on phone), the record no longer had the phone number as an identifier. At the profile level, I only saw SSID and ECID. This is what I was expecting.

• Later, I ingested a new phone number against the SSID (primary key).

Expectation: The phone number should again appear as an identifier at the profile level.
Issue: The dataset has phone defined as an identifier, but the new phone number is not showing up as an identifier under the profile.

Could this behavior be related to the earlier CCPA deletion?

Hi @user48  - This is the expected behavior because once you submitted ccpa request using phone number it means that profile will not be associated with any phone number in the future. You can also see this on the document https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/identity/privacy

there is a line which says "The profile constructed from that identity graph still remains, but will not be updated as new data is ingested since the identity associations are now removed. "
