Data Subject Requests
Manage requests, mitigate risk and ensure compliance?
A data subject request (DSR) is a formal request made by an individual (the data subject) to a company or organization to exercise their rights under data protection laws. These laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, provide individuals with certain rights regarding their personal data.
Key types of data subject requests include:
Right of Access: Requesting access to the personal data that an organization holds about the individual.
Right to Rectification: Requesting corrections to inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten): Requesting the deletion of personal data under certain conditions.
Right to Restrict Processing: Requesting the limitation of how personal data is processed.
Right to Data Portability: Requesting a copy of personal data in a commonly used format so it can be transferred to another service.
Right to Object: Objecting to the processing of personal data based on specific grounds.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making: Requesting human intervention in decisions made solely by automated means that have significant effects.
Handling these requests involves verifying the identity of the requester, assessing the validity of the request, and providing a timely response as required by law.
