The Different Request Types


There are seven DSAR request types that a data subject may choose, all of which may be chosen simultaneously. Below is a brief explanation for each option:

Inquiry - A general request sent to the organization. This option is for the data subject who wish to see what personal information the organization has collected and maintained. 

Access - This option is to allow the data subject the ability to access and view any personal information collected.

Update - This is a request to have any personal information changed about a person. This can include updating a last name, address, or any other information. 

Delete - This is a request to have the data subject's personal information deleted from the organization's database. 

Transfer - This is a request to have the data subject's personal information transferred to another third-party organization.

Restrict Processing - This request informs the organization that the data subject does not wish for their personal information to be used in a certain manner. 

Complaint - This option can be used to issue a complain about any way in which the data subject's information is being handled.
