Description
Hello Dataverse team,
Due General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) existing in France we tried to remove personal user information in guestbook.
The idea was to remove more than 1 year older data from guestbook, customquestionresponse and guestbookresponse tables but we discovered that Dataverse metrics uses guestbookresponse data via the endpoints (api/info/metrics/downloads...).
We found ourself a workaround by replacing the content of columns that was containing personal user information.
Would it be possible de separate guestbook informations from metrics informations ? So guestbook data could be removed and metrics could be kept.

Research direction
Start by tracing the metrics endpoints, including api/info/metrics/downloads, and how they read from the guestbookresponse, guestbook, and customquestionresponse tables. Define a separation that permits older guestbook data to be removed while metrics remain available; done means both retention goals work without breaking the metrics endpoints.
