How to Manage Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) Efficiently If you have received a letter from a customer that states, “I would like to know what type of personal data your company holds about me…” you have already encountered a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR). Under privacy laws like the GDPR in Europe, CCPA/CPRA in California, and others worldwide, people have the right to ask companies what personal data they are storing, how it is being used, and sometimes even request corrections or deletion. On a document, this sounds straightforward— Just gather the information and share it across. But in practice, DSARs can be time-consuming, with heavy-resource, and stressful if you do not have a plan. Think of it like a library: if books (data) are distributed all over the place, finding one specific title becomes terrifying. But if the library is assembled and organized, requests become quick and painless. This entire blog will walk you through how to manage DSARs efficiently—without losing your team’s sanity or putting your company at compliance risk. #DPDPA #Dataprivacy #privacycompliance #DSAR
