Under privacy laws, anyone who has had an account in the eCom back office can request to receive, modify or delete their personal information. Complete a form on our Lightspeed Help Center to manage their information or deletion requests. Lightspeed will process the requests and notify you by email once complete.
Prerequisites
IMPORTANT: Be cautious when performing these actions. Providing personal information to the incorrect party may be considered a data breach under privacy laws. Likewise, deleting employee information is permanent and cannot be reversed, so ensure you will not require this information in the future for legal, tax or payment processing purposes.
- Verify the identity of the person making the request.
- Research the information that you're required to keep. For example, you may be required to keep certain information for tax or regulatory reasons.
