What is a DSAR?

What is a Data Subject Access Request?

A Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) is a legal right that individuals have to request access to the personal information that an organization holds about them. Both customers and employees have the same right to file a DSAR, but employee requests are typically far more complex, encompassing all data both about and created by the individual, such as messages exchanged in collaboration tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams.​

The right to submit a DSAR is granted under a number of laws and regulations around the world, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).​

Why you need to manage DSARs

With fines running into the millions per incident, and only a short window in which to comply, getting ahead of potential DSARs is essential for businesses seeking to avoid regulatory penalties.​

Meet tight timescales

DSAR requests must be fulfilled within 15-45 days, depending on jurisdiction, but manual searches of collaboration tool data may take much longer to complete.

Limit the cost of compliance

Most expenses incurred by fulfilling DSARs cannot be passed onto the requester, meaning businesses can save costs by being prepared for DSARs before they occur.

Future-proof your organization

Data protection laws are gaining traction worldwide, making DSARs and Right to be Forgotten requests a key part of future compliance requirements.
