      How to reply to a data subject request

      Steps to take in order to reply to a data subject request from within the Clym admin dashboard

      Under several different laws, users from various regions have the right to submit a data subject request, or a DSR, to your organization. Depending on regulation, users have the right to submit different types of requests, such as a Data Access Request, which asks your organization what data you have on that user, or a Data Erasure Request, which asks your organization to erase any data that you have on that user that is not essential for the function of your website.
      To ensure you remain compliant, it is important that your organization responds to these requests in a timely manner. Each regulation has different requirements for how long your organization has to handle requests. Clym's admin portal allows you to view, manage, and respond to your requests all in one place.

      Replying to your DSARs is an easy 3-step process:

       

       

      1. Sign into your Clym Portal
