PERSONAL DATA REQUESTS · Workflow idea

Handle deletion requests carefully from intake to confirmation.

Give staff a consistent way to review a person’s request to delete their information. Confirm identity and scope, check for exceptions, and keep each removal under authorized human approval before telling the requester it is complete.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person’s request submitted to the responsible team through its private support process

“Record the request securely, verify the requester and information in scope, identify relevant services, and prepare the proposed removals for an authorized person to approve.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps privacy and support teams coordinate requests to remove personal information across the services they use.

  1. Receive the request privately

    Keep the request within an approved, access-limited support process and avoid posting personal details in a broad team channel.

  2. Verify the requester’s identity

    Use the organization’s approved identity-check process before locating or changing anyone’s records.

  3. Confirm the information and services in scope

    Work with the privacy owner to identify relevant records and check whether any documented exception or retention obligation applies.

  4. Prepare removal actions for approval

    Show an authorized reviewer which information would be removed from each service and wait for approval before making changes.

  5. Verify completion and keep a minimal record

    Check each approved action and record only the evidence needed to show how the request was handled.

  6. Review the response before sending

    Have a person confirm what was completed and approve the recipient and wording of any message to the requester.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A reviewed request with confirmed scope, approved removal actions, and a minimal completion record ready for a person to verify before responding.

The handoff

A reviewed request with confirmed scope, approved removal actions, and a minimal completion record ready for a person to verify before responding.

Keep in mind

Personal data deletion is consequential and may have legal, contractual, security, or recordkeeping exceptions. Verify identity and scope, involve the appropriate privacy owner, approve each removal before it occurs, and require a human to review any confirmation sent to the requester.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose a private request intake

Select the approved way to receive requests and restrict visibility to the staff who need to handle them.

List services and accountable owners

Document where personal information may be held and name the owner responsible for each removal decision.

Set identity, exception, and approval rules

Work with the privacy lead to define identity checks, possible retention exceptions, who approves removals, and what may be recorded.

Test a request without deleting live data

Walk through identity, scope, approval, completion checks, and a draft response using a safe example before handling a real request.
