Fulfill access and deletion requests against support ticket data, without risking an open conversation that's still being resolved.
Zendesk Support holds one of the more sensitive categories of customer data an organization collects: whatever a person chose to say in a support ticket, often including account details, complaints, and sometimes information they wouldn't have volunteered anywhere else. That makes it a near-certain target whenever someone exercises an access or deletion right, and a genuinely awkward one to fulfill by hand, since tickets and their comment threads are exactly the kind of unstructured, high-volume data manual review handles badly.
Ketch connects to Zendesk Support to handle both directions of that request, with a deliberate safeguard against deleting a conversation that isn't actually finished.
Capabilities
The Ketch Zendesk Support integration covers Rights Orchestration: Right to Access and Right to Delete.That's a deliberate constraint, not a limitation to work around: it exists to prevent an in-progress support conversation from being deleted out from under an agent still working it. Deletion also redacts the person's email from any support comments it appears in, so their identifier doesn't linger in ticket text even after the underlying record is gone.
Right to Access retrieves a person's Zendesk user record, including their profile information and identities. Right to Delete removes all data associated with the user, but only once every one of their tickets is in closed status; if a ticket is still open, the deletion won't proceed.

The gap
Zendesk Support is built to help agents resolve customer issues, not to safely reconcile an active support conversation against a deletion deadline. That tension shows up consistently:
Why Ketch
Permissioning infrastructure that governs Zendesk Support the same way it governs every other system in your stack — not a one-off connector bolted onto a banner.
The closed-ticket requirement for deletion, and the email redaction built into it, reflect real characteristics of support data that a generic deletion connector would miss.
Zendesk Support requests move through the same Data Subject Rights Automation used for every other connected system, instead of a support-team-specific manual process.
The California Attorney General secured a $1.55 million settlement with Healthline Media over sharing sensitive information without valid consent, a reminder that any system holding detailed personal disclosures, support tickets included, carries real exposure when access and deletion aren't handled with real process behind them.
