Manage data privacy requests

Set up your data privacy request page where contacts can submit requests related to their personal data, such as data access and deletions. For any requests made outside of the page, you can manually create data privacy requests for contacts.

If you have a Marketing Hub or Content Hub Professional or Enterprise subscription, you can also add download or delete data modules to your subscription page for your customers to request data access and deletions.

By default, all requests from contacts with enriched data will be received, this setting cannot be changed. You can review the status of all requests in the data privacy request manager. 

Please note: while HubSpot provides this feature, your legal team is the best resource to give you compliance advice for your specific situation.
