Segment offers you the ability to delete and suppress data about your end-users when they are identifiable by a `userId` to support your compliance with privacy regulations like the GDPR and CCPA. For example, if your end-user invokes the Right to Object or Right to be Forgotten, you can block ongoing data collection about that user and delete all historical data about them from Segment’s systems, any of your connected warehouses or S3 buckets, and some supported downstream partners.

The Suppressed Users tab in Segment App (**Settings > End User Privacy**) allows you to create new Suppression requests and also shows a list of `userId`s which are **actively** being suppressed. It can take a few hours/days for the suppression to become active, depending on the number of requests that are in the queue for your workspace. Once the request is active, Segment blocks data about these users across all sources.
