Privacy Request Policies Overview

"Privacy Request Policies" refer to the policies and procedures implemented within DataGrail's platform to facilitate and manage privacy requests made by data subjects regarding their personal data. These policies encompass the rules and guidelines that govern how an organization handles various privacy requests, such as data access requests, deletion requests, opt-out preferences, or any other privacy-related inquiries made by consumers or users. DataGrail's platform is designed to streamline and automate the management of these requests, ensuring compliance with regulations such as the GDPR, CPRA, and other global privacy laws. Privacy Request Policies within DataGrail's system help companies define and enforce processes for responding to these requests efficiently, ensuring that individuals' privacy rights are respected and fulfilled.

DataGrail User Roles

Only the following User Roles will have access to Request Policies:

  • Super Admin
  • Request Admin
  • Request Agent

NOTE : Combining any user roles that do not have access to this UI with any of the above user roles that do have access to this functionality will grant a user access to these updates. e.g. If a user had a Live Data Map Admin Role, adding a Super Admin Role to their user record would then allow them access to Request Policies.

Workflow

Request Policies are available by clicking on the Request Manager tab and selecting Request Policies.

Screen

From here, Request Policies will appear in a settings page and are available to review only.

On this page, there are three columns that will give a high level overview of the policy and it’s contents:

  • Policy
    • Name
  • Status
    • Shows if the policy is Active or Inactive and the initial creation date
      of the Policy
  • Privacy Rights associated with that Policy

Out of the box, DataGrail sets four default policies for all customers:

    • California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
      • US Standard Policy
      • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
      • Global Privacy Rights (GPR)

To view all details of the Policy, the User will click on the policy name. Within the Policy specific page, there are two sections; Policy Settings and About this Policy.
