Purging a user's data is probably a matter of writing a short SQL/Python/Bash script for most databases (don't forget the audit tables, though it kind of defeats the purpose of audit tables, but whatever). It's something I'd only do on request (I'd expect it to be a rare occurrence), certainly not going to automate that sort of thing. I'm not about to go risk corrupting my backups trying to scrub old customer data out of them. Perhaps only keep the last X days of backups and let the paranoid customer's data attrit out naturally?
