# Setup Data Request Management

The **Data Request Management** feature in the Consentik app helps businesses efficiently handle customer data requests. This tool is vital for complying with legal standards, such as the **General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)** of the European Union. It allows customers to view, edit, or delete their personal data, while businesses can manage these requests transparently.

### Why Use Data Request Management for GDPR Compliance

GDPR protects the privacy and personal data of individuals in the European Union. Under GDPR, customers can:

* Access their personal data.
* Request corrections to inaccurate data.
* Request deletion of their data under certain conditions.

Non-compliance with GDPR can lead to hefty fines and reputational damage. The **Data Request Management** feature ensures businesses meet these obligations, fostering trust through clear and accountable data management.

### How the Feature Works

The **Data Request Management** feature operates as follows:

1. **Data Right Page**: A webpage where customers can submit data requests (view, edit, or delete). It’s accessible only to logged-in customers for security.
2. **Google Account Connection**: Businesses connect their Google account to send email notifications about request statuses.
3. **Request Logs**: Customer requests are logged in the app, allowing businesses to review and respond appropriately.
