DSAR pages and their Request Emails and Pages - Explained

Merchants are regularly confused when it comes to the relation between the DSAR Pages and their Request emails and Request pages.

In this article, we will dive into more details in order to show what each one of these does.


What are the DSAR (Data Subject Access Requests) pages, and how do they work?



The DSAR pages include all the necessary types of requests your store needs in order to be compliant with the customer privacy laws.

These pages are automatically generated with the installation of the app.

The DSAR pages give the customer options to submit a request for:

Editing personal account information
Exporting order details
Requesting a report
Data erasure
Do not Sell My Personal Information

It is important to mention that all of the information is taken directly from Shopify.

We do not store any personal data, except for the email address, and this is only if the customer has submitted a request through the DSAR page.

For more information on the data we collect, please check our Privacy Policy & Terms of Service page.

Here is an example of how you can submit a request for Editing Personal Account Information:

Click on Edit your Account Information

Enter your email address and click on Submit

Check the confirmation on the top of the screen for the successfully submitted request



Once the request is submitted, this is how we come to the Request Emails and Request Pages.


What are the Request Emails and Request Pages?



When submitting any of the requests mentioned above, the customer will receive an email notification in regards to it.

This is called a  Request Email.

After clicking on it, the customer will be forwarded to a page called a  Request Page. 

Referring to the Account Edit request submitted the customer will see a page where the account information can be edited.
