Perform a real, permanent deletion of a support contact and every ticket tied to them, not an archive that leaves the data recoverable.
Freshdesk combines help desk and CRM functionality to manage customer service across every touchpoint. The distinction between a soft delete (which typically just hides or archives a record) and a hard delete (which genuinely removes it) matters a great deal for privacy compliance, since a person exercising a deletion right expects their data to actually be gone, not just out of sight.
Ketch connects to Freshdesk to perform the genuine version.
Capabilities
The Ketch Freshdesk integration covers Rights Orchestration: Right to Deletion and Right to Access.
Right to Access retrieves basic contact information. Right to Delete performs a permanent hard delete of the contact and their associated tickets in Freshdesk, based on the data subject's email address, matching Freshdesk's own GDPR-compliant deletion process rather than a workaround.

The gap
A help desk platform's default handling of a "deleted" record doesn't always match what a privacy deletion right requires:
Why Ketch
Permissioning infrastructure that governs Freshdesk the same way it governs every other system in your stack — not a one-off connector bolted onto a banner.
The contact and their tickets are permanently removed, matching Freshdesk's own GDPR-compliant deletion process.
Deletion reaches the tickets associated with a contact, where the most detailed personal disclosures often live.
The California Attorney General reached a $1.55 million settlement with Healthline Media over sharing sensitive data with advertisers without valid consent, a reminder that support ticket data, often containing detailed personal disclosures, carries real exposure when deletion isn't genuinely permanent.
