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.
