Role required: sn_grc_pdr.pdr_admin

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Personal Data Rights > Request Configuration > Request Types.

  2. Select New to create a new request type, and fill in the following fields:

    • Label: Enter the display name for the request type (for example, Right to data portability).
    • Name: Specify a unique system identifier for the request type. It should contain lowercase alphanumeric characters and underscores.
    • Parent: Select an existing parent category or request type if you want to create a subtype or group related rights.
    • Active: Set to “Active” to make the request type available on forms.
    • Category: Assign the request type to a category for organizational or reporting purposes (for example, “Access Rights,” “Correction Rights”).
    • Description: Provide a brief summary of the request type’s purpose and scope.
    • Select Submit.
  3. Select the newly added request type from the list.

  4. In the Jurisdictions section, select New, and fill in only the following fields:

    • Name: Enter a descriptive name for the mapping.
    • Country: Select the country where this request type should be available.
    • State: For the United States and Canada, select both the country and the specific state or province to enable region-specific rights. Note:

    • For most countries, mapping by country is sufficient.

    • For the United States and Canada, privacy rights might vary by state, so always specify both country and state when applicable.
    • Regularly review and update jurisdiction mappings to stay compliant with changing regulations.
    • Select Submit.
