subscriber_already_erased ​

subscriber_already_erased

Description ​

The subscriber's DEK has already been destroyed. GDPR enforcement will neither return nor provision another key because that would reverse crypto-shredding.

HTTP Status ​

422 Unprocessable Entity

doc_url Format ​

The doc_url value is an absolute URL and changes by environment:

<docs-base-url>/errors/subscriber_already_erased

Typical Causes ​

  • A consuming context attempted to fetch a DEK after erasure.
  • A creating context retried provisioning after the subscriber had been erased.

How To Fix ​

  1. Stop processing or persisting personal data for the subscriber.
  2. Do not retry DEK provisioning for that subscriber.
  3. Preserve the erased state in the calling workflow.
