Comment (by garrett-eclipse):

 Hello @jigar-bhanushali thanks for the ticket and patch. If I understand
 correct you're indicating an email is sent even if a user isn't associated
 to said email. If so then that's actually expected behaviour as commenters
 don't require an account in most cases but as they're supplying their
 personal information we need a way to export/erase their data as well.
 There's been some discussion in providing better messaging or suppressing
 the request when there's no data associated to the email and would make
 more sense to do a check on if there's data associated over if there's a
 user associated.
