Data Subject Rights Request Handling

How TrialStack receives, verifies, routes, fulfils, and records data subject rights requests under GDPR.

1. Handling Procedure

  • Requests are received at gitte@trialstack.com and logged on receipt.
  • Requester identity is verified before any personal data is disclosed, corrected, erased, restricted, ported, or otherwise actioned.
  • Requests are fulfilled within one month. A single extension of up to two additional months may be used for complex requests, with the data subject informed before the initial one-month deadline expires.
  • Where TrialStack acts as processor on behalf of a customer acting as controller, the request is forwarded to the controller and actioned only on the controller’s documented instruction.
  • Each request, decision, response, and resolution is recorded in the DSAR log.

2. Request Intake

TrialStack accepts rights requests by email to gitte@trialstack.com. Requests may cover access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, or withdrawal of consent where processing relies on consent.

For each request, the DSAR log records:

FieldPurpose
Date receivedStarts the response deadline clock
Requester name and contact detailsIdentifies the request and response channel
Right exercisedClassifies the request type
Controller or processor roleDetermines whether TrialStack can act directly or must route to a customer controller
Identity verification statusConfirms whether disclosure or action is permitted
Due date and extension statusTracks the one-month deadline and any justified extension
Outcome and response dateDocuments fulfilment, refusal, routing, or closure
Remediation notesCaptures SLA breaches, repeat issues, and follow-up actions

3. Identity Verification

TrialStack verifies identity before disclosing or changing personal data. Verification should be proportionate to the data involved and may include confirming the requester’s email address, account relationship, organization, or other information already held by TrialStack.

If identity cannot be verified, TrialStack asks for the minimum additional information needed to confirm the request. The request is not fulfilled until verification is complete.

4. Controller And Processor Routing

When TrialStack is the controller for the relevant personal data, TrialStack reviews and responds to the request directly.

When TrialStack processes the relevant personal data on behalf of a customer controller, TrialStack forwards the request to the controller without undue delay and follows the controller’s documented instruction. TrialStack does not independently decide the outcome for customer-controlled data unless legally required.

5. Deadlines And Extensions

TrialStack responds to verified requests within one month of receipt. For complex or numerous requests, TrialStack may extend the deadline by up to two additional months.

Any extension must be documented in the DSAR log and communicated to the data subject within the initial one-month period, including the reason for the delay.

6. Outcomes

Each request is closed with one documented outcome:

OutcomeWhen to use
FulfilledThe requested access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, or consent withdrawal action was completed
Partially fulfilledPart of the request was completed and part was limited by legal, contractual, security, or controller-instruction constraints
RejectedThe request could not be fulfilled, with the reason documented
Routed to controllerTrialStack acted as processor and forwarded the request to the relevant customer controller
Withdrawn or abandonedThe requester withdrew the request or did not complete required verification

7. Review And Remediation

The DSAR log is reviewed periodically for overdue requests, extension patterns, repeated identity-verification issues, and unresolved controller-routing delays.

Any SLA breach or systemic issue must be assigned an owner, remediated, and recorded in the log.
