What is a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR)?
Under GDPR, individuals have the right to know what personal data you hold about them, why you hold it, and who you share it with. When they exercise this right, it's called a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) or Subject Access Request (SAR). You have 30 days to respond—and the penalties for missing deadlines are severe.
