Privacy Request Center Overview
The Privacy Request Center (PRC) is your central hub for your customers to exercise their privacy rights and build trust with your brand. Our self-service portal makes it easy to customize how you receive access, deletion, rectification, and other types of data subject requests (DSRs) for processing within our platform.
The Privacy Request Center is a hosted form on a your domain (ours is hosted on preferences.datagrail.io) which allows Data Subjects to easily submit privacy requests to your organization.
Geolocation
The Privacy Request Center dynamically offers Data Subjects the relevant privacy rights in their country/region based on the location reported by the browser (i.e. if the detected location is France, GDPR request options will auto-populate).
The Data Subject can always change their location if they feel their rights are more applicable to a different region, such as those traveling but making a privacy request in their home state.
In the Request Manager portal, privacy managers will be able to see the location that was selected, as well as if it differed from their detected location.
Submitting a Request
Once the privacy right to be exercised is selected, the Data Subject will be prompted to enter the necessary details needed to process the request. Each request type includes various fields by default to ensure the correct information is received to process the request.
The text and fields in this form are configurable. Learn more about the standard configuration options here
Before submitting the request, the Data Subject must complete a CAPTCHA, to reduce spam and fraud during the intake process.
DataGrail offers an authorized agent workflow for institutions or other people to make requests on behalf of data subjects. For this to be available on the form, you must have Smart Verification enabled.
Email Verification
Once a data subject submits a privacy request, they will be asked to confirm their email address. This is referred to as Email Verification and is a safeguard against spam and requests illegitimately made on behalf of others.
The verification email and all other email messages sent to data subjects are customizable with Email Templates.
Viewing Privacy Requests
Once the request is submitted, the request details will be logged to DataGrail. You can visit the Request Queue to see the current list of all privacy requests.
From here, Request Manager users can click into each request and begin processing!
