What is a DSAR?
Understanding Data Subject Access Requests and why they matter for privacy compliance.
Definition
A Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) is a formal request from an individual (data subject/data principal) to exercise their privacy rights under data protection laws. These rights allow individuals to understand and control how their personal data is used.
📋 Also Known As
