DSAR - Fields Configuration

Overview

The privacy portal provides different data subject access requests for the users to copy, correct, unsubscribe, opt-out, and delete their data. Each request form can be configured in the DSAR configuration screen through the Form tab under Privacy Portal Configuration. Refer to this guide for configuring a service request form - DSAR - Form Configuration

Under the Field tab, you can configure the information that can be collected from a user/requestor when placing a service request through different fields in the request forms like emails, address, and more. A default form can be selected and customized accordingly, or new fields can be defined through the DSAR Configuration.

To configure different fields in a request form,

  • Log in to the Data Governance Tool.
