Discovering the entity purge graph

In this initial step of the purge process, PolicyCenter makes an initial traversal through the pinnable hierarchy to discover the graph on the basis of which purge logic will execute. PolicyCenter traverses the relationships between contacts, accounts, policies, policy terms, and policy periods.

This traversal starts at the initial root of the personal destruction request and marks each entity as purgeable. It uses the following logic:

  • Contact traverses to all related Account entities.
  • Account traverses to all related Policy entities and all related Contact entities (primary and non-primary).
  • Policy traverses to all related PolicyTerm entities.
  • PolicyTerm traverses to all related PolicyPeriod entities.
