# Purger Services

The Purger Service can be used as part of a workflow for deleting user data and Pods from ESS. This helps organizations using ESS comply with legislative requirements such as GDPR/CCPA and the right to have personal data deleted.

There are two options that can be used to hook into your workflow:

[Purger Service (HTTP API)](https://docs.inrupt.com/ess/2.5/services/service-purger/purger-service)

[Purger Application (Internal deployment)](https://docs.inrupt.com/ess/2.5/services/service-purger/purger-application)
