# Anonymize Members

**Anonymizing members deletes all of that member's identifying information from Inveterate, but retains their purchase data to keep reporting intact.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
You must [cancel a membership](broken://pages/FxRR0QH5CIAKY2gHsy9p) before you can anonymize them.  You cannot anonymize an active member.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Pro Tip: If you receive a Personal Data Deletion Request from a customer, all you need to do is Anonymize them in Inveterate.  This will fulfill their request instantly.
{% endhint %}

#### To anonymize a member:

1. Find the member who you want to anonymize.
2. Click the 'Anonymize' button on the top right.
3. Click 'Anonymize' in the new pop-up to confirm that you want to anonymize this member's subscription.
