Yes, you can customize Gravity Forms to not save the entry data. However the entry data has to be saved long enough for the emails to be sent because the emails send using the entry data, not the form post data. This is so it gets the data after any hooks/manipulation has been done. But then after the email is sent you can automatically delete the entry.

My theory: i would basically grab each form_field i don't want to store data and set it to ""
