They can do this via the DSAR (data subject access request pages) generated by the app.

The easiest way to provide access to the pages is to make them always available in the storefront by linking them in the store footer section.
They can be linked like any other page you have there already, and by following these steps:
Go to the Content menu of the store admin
Open the Menus section
Select the Footer menu
In the Footer menu section, select the Add menu item option
Two input fields will become available for the element Label (text) and Link (URL)
Set the text for the link that will show in the Footer menu and locate the page that you want to link to it as well, as shown here:
Save the changes and check the link in the frontend
By following the above steps, you can link as many pages as you need, according to your needs and preferences.
If you have a custom Privacy Policy or a dedicated Data management rights page, the link for the page can also be added there.
The page should not be part of the automated Shopify policies, as due to some restrictions from the platform, external links or elements may not work properly there
