1. A method comprising:
processing, by one or more processors of a multitenant computing platform, event data that corresponds to an account among multiple accounts within the multitenant computing platform, each account among the multiple accounts having a corresponding deletion policy that is applicable to only that account within the multitenant computing platform, the processed event data being retainable in a data log of the multitenant computing platform; and
deleting, by the one or more processors of the multitenant computing platform, at least one field of the event data within the data log of the multitenant computing platform based on a deletion policy that corresponds to only the account within the multitenant computing platform and indicates an action that deletes information, the deleting of the at least one field of the event data including initiation of the action indicated by the deletion policy that is applicable to only the corresponding account within the multitenant computing platform.
