Take every rights request in through one public form, confirm the requester's email with a one-time code, and track each request against its deadline. From the request, launch a DiscoverIQ scan already set to that person's data, and write to them and to your processors without leaving the queue. ComplyIQ handles every right under GDPR and the DPDP Act.
DSR Automation Challenges
Rights requests arrive by email, web form and phone, and each one starts a scramble: confirm who is asking, find their data across systems, reply before the deadline, and keep a record of it all.
Without a single queue, requests go missing, deadlines slip, and there is no record to show a regulator how a request was handled.
Requests in every inbox
Requests arrive through several channels and are tracked in spreadsheets, if at all.
Unchecked email addresses
Requests come from addresses no one has checked, so a reply may go to an inbox the requester does not control.
Data spread across systems
Finding one person's data means asking every system owner by hand.
Deadlines slipping
Nothing warns the team before a request goes overdue, so misses surface only when someone complains.

Glossary
Data Subject Access Request (DSAR)
A Data Subject Access Request is a formal request made by an individual to an organization to obtain confirmation of whether their personal data is being processed and, if so, to receive a copy of that data along with details about how it is used.
Data Subject Rights are the legal rights granted to individuals under data protection laws, enabling them to control how their personal data is collected, used, stored, and shared by organizations.
Secure data deletion ensures personal data is permanently and irreversibly removed from all storage systems, supporting the right to erasure and storage limitation.
