Technical detail

Fides utilizes API endpoints to access the API service for a SaaS application. An API service is the programmatic interface through which Fides can query and update data within an application to access, rectify, or delete personal information. Each SaaS tool will have a unique set of endpoints to enable privacy functions.

Firebase endpoints

In the table below, you can find which endpoints are used for each type of privacy function. Clicking on the endpoint will take you to the documentation for that endpoint.

Privacy function	Endpoint	Description
Access and erasure requests	User (opens in a new tab)	Retrieve and erase user data

By default, deletion requests are fulfilled by masking personal information. To enable Fides to personal information, ensure the masking_strict variable in your fides.toml file is set to false.
