Do Not Sell or Share Overview

CPRA gives data subjects the Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of their Personal Information to third parties. DataGrail customers have the ability to handle Do Not Sell or Share (DNSS) requests through an intake form, verify those requests, and maintain a record log for compliance.

DataGrail User Roles

Only the following User Roles will have access to the Do Not Sell or Share tab :

  • Super Admin
  • Request Admin
  • Request Approver
  • 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 Request Admin Role, adding a Super Admin role to their user record would then allow them access to the Do Not Sell or Share page.

Overview

Do Not Sell or Share requests can be created and focused on providing context to the progress of a Do Not Sell or Share request. Details have been added surrounding the requestor, the integrations connected to the request, and the progress of the request. Requestors have new actions they can take surrounding extending deadlines for requests and being able to see where requests are coming from.

Request Creation via Opt Out Form

The Opt-Out form provides the ability to have an immediate understanding of location and enables Authorized Agent.

Opt Out Form

NOTE: Request policies are also now tied to opt-outs. This is not a required field, and the older form version will remain compatible even if a location is NOT tied to the opt-out. If your DNSS form has any customizations (including text), reach out to your CSM about when these changes will be reflected for you._

Manually Create Do Not Sell or Share Requests

You can also manually generate Opt-Out Requests within the Do Not Sell or Share tab in DataGrail. Information required in order to create an Opt-Out request is as follows:

  • Last Name
  • Email

Location (Country) and notes (Additional Info) are optional fields. You can add a country to specify a location, and if a subregion is available, the sub-region will appear in the drawer; this field is not required to add a request.

Downloading Requests

Tag Managers

Tag managers -- most commonly, Google Tag Manager (GTM) -- are a tool that allow you to manage and deploy tags (snippets of code or tracking pixels) on your website without changing the code. Common uses include inserting javascript for analytics tools like Google Analytics or Amplitude, retargeting solutions like AdRoll, and trackers like Marketo or Hubspot. Moz has a more in-depth explanation.

GTM consists of three components: tags, triggers, and variables. Briefly, a tag is the javascript or tracking code that is inserted; a trigger is a rule for when to insert a tag; and a variable can hold values. For example, if you want to log all pageviews to Google Analytics, you would use a Google Analytics tag and tell it to trigger on all page views.
