What does Trust Guardian offer for data subject rights management?

Managing data subject rights is a fundamental aspect of GDPR compliance. Data subjects have various rights guaranteed by the regulation, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, and data portability. Companies must be able to respond promptly and in compliance with these requests within the maximum timeframes set by GDPR, ensuring data subjects have full control over their personal data.

Trust Guardian manages data subject rights primarily through myPrivacy, which offers two main features:

1. Self-service consent management
   It allows data subjects to manage their consents independently through a web-based self-service interface that they can access after identification. This approach enhances transparency and corporate accountability. Every consent modification made here is automatically communicated in real-time to various company applications via Trust Guardian’s Orchestration system, ensuring that all involved company systems receive updates in real-time, keeping the company aligned and compliant.
2. Data subject rights management with a centralized register
   The myPrivacy feature allows data subjects’ rights requests to be managed in an organized and compliant manner. Through a dedicated workflow, requests can be submitted either via a web form in self-service by the data subject themselves or manually by the DPO or Privacy Officer. Trust Guardian automatically manages deadlines and communication with the data subject, providing the DPO with a centralized register of data subject rights requests. This approach ensures that response times required by the regulation are met, reducing the risk of violations and penalties.
