A Subject Access Request Assistant built on BRYTER helps to process requests regarding an individual's personal data in a fast, transparent and efficient way – ensuring compliance with GDPR.

#### Background

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), companies are obliged to provide individuals with their personal data upon request. These requests must be complied with within one calendar month and companies often cannot charge a fee to cover the administrative costs of complying with a request.   

It is therefore imperative that companies set up an effective process for accepting Subject Access Requests to ensure compliance whilst minimizing administrative burden. Recital 59 of the GDPR recommends that organizations “provide means for requests to be made electronically, especially where personal data is processed by electronic means”. 

With BRYTER, you can build a tool which uses predefined sophisticated logic to collect all relevant information to comply with a Subject Access Request. The individual making a request is guided through an interactive questionnaire, where they can provide all the necessary information including, uploading documentation, such as proof of identity, to allow the business to easily and effectively comply with the request. The collected information can then be used by our [GDPR compliance software](https://bryter.com/trends/gdpr-compliance-software/) to produce a complete document which can be sent via e-mail directly to the Data Protection Officer or any other colleague processing these requests.
