| -Here's how Segment's existing end-user privacy features work with Personas: |
| 14 | +- Right to Erasure |
| 15 | +- Right to Object |
| 16 | +- Right to Rectification |
| 17 | +- Rights to Access and Portability |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Below, learn how each of these rights protects the integrity of users and their data. |

|
15 | 21 | ### Right to Erasure
|
16 | 22 |
|
17 |
| -Segment enables you to manage user deletion across Segment (including Personas) and supported Destinations. Issuing a user deletion request will delete that user's data from all of Segment's internal archives and environments within 30 days. The user will also be deleted from any audiences created by Personas. |
| 23 | +Using Segment's platform, you can [manage user deletion](/docs/privacy/user-deletion-and-suppression/) across all Segment products and supported Destinations. User deletion requests remove user data from all internal Segment archives and environments, including Personas audiences, within 30 days. |
18 | 24 |
|
19 | 25 | ### Right to Object
|
20 | 26 |
|
21 |
| -With Segment, you can block data collection for specific users with one-click suppression. Suppressed users will no longer have profiles built around them. This also means they will not be added to any future audiences. |
| 27 | +With [one-click suppression](/docs/privacy/user-deletion-and-suppression/#supressed-users), you can block data collection for specific users. Segment discontinues profile building around suppressed users and prevents them from joining future Personas audiences. |
22 | 28 |
|
23 | 29 | ### Right to Rectification
|
24 | 30 |
|
25 |
| -We automatically update user profiles and traits in Segment and in downstream tools whenever new information is received. For auditing purposes, you can use the Profile API to confirm that the update has been processed. |
| 31 | +When Segment receives new information, the platform updates user profiles and traits in both Segment and its downstream tools. Use the [Profile API](/docs/personas/profile-api/) to confirm that an update has been processed. |
26 | 32 |
|
27 | 33 | ### Rights to Access and Portability
|

|

| -Identity Resolution enables you to aggregate all the information you've collected about a customer, and the Profile API can be used to provide the end user with their data. As an alternative, you can enable a raw data integration or warehouse to organize data about a given user to easily share it in a structured format if requested. |
| 35 | +[Identity Resolution](/docs/personas/identity-resolution/) connects information you've gathered about a customer into a single profile. Using the Profile API, you can provide end users with this data. You can also enable raw data integrations and warehouses to share a user's data in a structured format. |
