The right of access for data subjects was one of the rights introduced under GDPR.
In general terms, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides individuals with the right to request information on how companies are handling their personal data.
This is what the Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) entails.
A data subject can make the request via an email, or a form (online), or in any other form of communication.
Then, a company will verify the requestor’s identity and his data in its data ecosystem and lastly track the request to resolution.
This process takes approximately 30-45 days.
