DSAR Management

Handle data subject access requests from submission to completion. Track SLA deadlines, assign tasks to your team, and provide a public portal for data subjects to submit requests.

Request Lifecycle

Every DSAR moves through a defined lifecycle with automatic SLA tracking. The system monitors deadlines and alerts your team when action is needed.

Public Portal

Give data subjects a dedicated portal to submit requests. The portal is customizable with your organization's branding and generates a shareable link you can add to your privacy policy.

Portal URL

https://dpocentral.todo.law/dsar/your-org-slug

Share this URL in your privacy policy so data subjects can submit requests directly. The portal supports all request types and collects identity verification information.

Intake Form Configuration

Customize which fields appear on your public DSAR intake form. Configure required vs. optional fields, add custom questions, and set automatic routing rules based on request type.
