      Redaction Information

      To comply with Amazon's Data Protection Policy, Zenventory must automatically redact all personally identifiable information from orders and customer records sourced from an Amazon integration within 30 days of the order's completion date. The data redacted includes:

      1. Customer Name
      2. Street Address Lines 1-3
      3. Phone Number
      4. Email Address
      5. Shipping Labels created via Zenventory Internal Shipping

      You will still be able to search for these orders by number and find them in your reports, but they will have REDACTED in place of personally identifiable information. They will still contain the correct order contents and will impact your reporting data the same way the order would have prior to redaction.
