What is a Data Subject Access Request?

A Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) is a formal request from an individual asking an organization to provide all personal data held about them. Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws, individuals have a legal right to access this information.

Our DSAR form collects the necessary information: the person's name and contact details, which jurisdiction their request falls under, what data they're requesting, and verification that they are indeed the data subject or authorized to request on their behalf.

Organizations must respond to DSARs within specific timeframes: GDPR requires 30 days (extendable to 90), CCPA requires 45 days. A structured form ensures all requests are captured and can be tracked for timely fulfillment.
