How to manually add a data subject request

Steps to take to add a data subject request to your system that was received outside of your Clym widget

Clym's admin portal allows you to keep track of all of the data subject requests, or DSRs, that you receive as an organization, even if you receive one that was not sent through your Clym widget. This means that you can add requests you've received over email, phone, or other similar methods, allowing you to stay on top of all of your requests in one convenient location. From Clym's admin portal, you can view upcoming deadlines, reply to requests, and export this data at any time.

Adding a DSR is an easy 3-step process:

 

1. Sign in to your Clym Portal

You should have received a magic link in your initial onboarding email. Please click Sign in from the email to get started. Alternatively, navigate to Clym's home page and click on Sign in in the upper right-hand corner.

Please keep in mind that email validation by the user is a mandatory requirement for the DSR to be editable in your account.
