Consent API with Data Cloud
Consent API with Data Cloud
The Consent API supports Data Cloud. Use the Consent API to read and write to
the Data Cloud profile. Contact your Salesforce Representative for consumer
rights guidance within Data Cloud.
Required Permissions
To use Data Cloud parameters for Consent API, you must have either the
ModifyAllData or the ConsentApiUpdate user permission. Requiring a perm
ensures that the Salesforce admin gives explicit permission. These parameters
write org-wide consent data, such as links between records and the value of
consent flags, which are usually inaccessible to non-admin users.
Processing This action is used to restrict processing of data in Data Cloud processes
such as query and segmentation.
Portability This action is used to allow export of Data Cloud profile data.
Shouldforget This action indicates right to be forgotten, which means delete my PII
(Personally Identifiable Information) data and any related records.

You can submit Data Deletion requests for Individual profiles in Data Cloud. All
requests must be submitted using the Consent API.
A Data Deletion request deletes the specified Individual entity and any entities
where a relationship has been defined between that entity's identifying attribute
and the Individual ID attribute.
WARNING
If an individual has data stored in a Data Stream that isn’t mapped to the Individual entity, the Consent API doesn’t
remove that data.
Data Deletion requests are reprocessed at 30, 60, and 90 days to ensure a full
deletion. You must submit any data deletion requests in all connected systems
and Salesforce clouds.
Step by Step Implementation as per above information as follows.
Step 1
First execute a Write api Call with a patch method and keeping body as {}
/services/data/v54.0/consent/action/shouldforget?ids=<individualID>&mode=cdp&status=optin
This call will create a consent record which can then be modified, added a
screenshot. This will create a Consent API.
