A data subject access request (DSAR) is a request submitted by an individual (data subject) to an organization to acquire the information collected and stored about them to verify the lawfulness of the processing.
A data subject can also ask for specific actions to be taken with regard to that data. For instance, they may request the deletion or correction of information, receive information on the data safeguards provided by the organization or opt out of future data collection.
