Data Subject Requests - formal requests made to a company by a person to access, delete, or request not to sell/share the personal data that the company holds on them - increased by 32% from 2022 to 2023, according to DataGrail's 2024 Privacy Trends Report.

Data deletion requests were the most common type of DSR, on average accounting for more than 40% of requests across businesses.

As data privacy requests increase, findings show increased financial pressures on the brands processing them.

Access requests are on the rise, but data deletion requests continue to dominate.

While privacy laws have emerged in some states and regions, data privacy requests come from virtually everywhere.

DataGrail's research suggests that 75% of websites ignore GPC requests, which means most businesses are not respecting people's privacy requests.
