Data Subject Requests

We currently support two data subject request types access & erasure .

Access will let you determine if you have stored that data subjects identity anywhere in Poplar (&/or Share Local Media if you are also a SLM Solo, Shared or Insert client).

Erasure will submit an erasure (deletion) request for a data subject's identity within your account. This will scan across mailings, orders, and audiences. Note: that erasure requests do not apply within your opt out list. When you submit an erasure request we will also automatically add the data subject identity to your opt out list to prevent them from being mailed by you in the future.
