GPC dashboard

GPC Dashboard

Overview

The Global Privacy Control (GPC) Dashboard provides insights into the GPC activities of customers. Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a privacy standard that lets users automatically opt out of data sharing and sales on websites they visit. By enabling GPC in their browser or device, users send a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" signal. A configurable script placed on the client's website detects this signal and ensures compliance with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA. The implementation can also be customized at different location levels to meet specific regulatory requirements.

1. Sign into your Data Governance Tool account

2. From the Main Screen of Data Governance Tool, click on DSA Request, present on the hamburger menu on the left of the screen.

3. From the DSAR page, click on GPC signals

4. The GPC Dashboard, also called the GPC Report page will now be opened

Start Date/End Date

• Check the signal count between the selected dates.

  • For example, if the start date selected is 17th of MAY 2022 and the end date selected is 17th of MAY 2023, the graph will show the total signals tracked between the 17th of MAY 2022 and the 17th of MAY 2023.

Total GPC Signals

• This graph displays the total number of signals tracked from each tenant with GPC enabled. In other words, it will display the total number of users with GPC enabled who visited the different tenants.

• The GPC count increases when the GPC script on a client's websiteis activated. This happens when GPC is enabled and certain predefined conditions, such as geolocation, are met. The total count is then calculated across all tenants.

  • The GPC signal is captured by attaching it to an HTTP request made to a website. This signal communicates the user's choice to opt out of the sale or sharing of their data

  • When a browser or extension that supports GPC is used, it sends this signal to participating websites, which then respect the user's privacy preferences

• The metrics on this graph will change depending on the filters added above.

  • For example, If the duration "1 week" is selected and a specific tenant is chosen, the graph will display the number of users with GPC enabled who visited the tenant's website during that time.
