Forgetting Analytics Data for Users

Important

Visual Studio App Center is scheduled for retirement on March 31, 2025. While you can continue to use Visual Studio App Center until it is fully retired, there are several recommended alternatives that you may consider migrating to.

Learn more about support timelines and alternatives.

Since Data Subject requests to be forgotten must be serviced within 30 days, App Center Analytics retains raw data for 28 days. In the event that you wish to stop collecting all Analytics data from a specific end-user, there are two ways to do so:

Block incoming Analytics data by install ID

Step 1. If you already maintain a mapping between the App Center install IDs and user account information, skip to Step 3.

Step 2. Continuously Export to Blob Storage, and search blob storage for a specific install ID following the steps explained in the install ID section.

Step 3. Block incoming Analytics data to prevent it from being processed. For each install ID found in Step 1, call the following App Center API:

PUT https://appcenter.ms/v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/devices/block_logs/{install_id}

Additional details are available in the Analytics API documentation.

Block incoming Analytics data by app ID

To process all data for a given app ID, call the following App Center API:

PUT https://appcenter.ms/v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/devices/block_logs

Additional details are available in the Analytics API documentation.
