Privacy requests track-changes

Adobe Experience Platform Privacy Service provides a RESTful API and user interface to help you manage customer data requests. With Privacy Service, you can submit requests to access and delete personal customer data from Adobe Experience Cloud applications, facilitating automated compliance with legal and organizational privacy regulations.

Privacy requests can be created and managed from the Requests menu.

For more information on the Privacy Service and how to create and manage privacy requests, refer to Adobe Experience Platform documentation:

Managing individual data privacy requests that you can send to Adobe Journey Optimizer data-privacy-requests

You can submit individual requests to access and delete consumer data from Adobe Journey Optimizer in two ways:

  • Through the Privacy Service UI. See the documentation here.
  • Through the Privacy Service API. See the documentation here and API information here.

The Privacy Service supports two types of requests: data access and data deletion.

NOTE
This guide only covers how to make privacy requests for Adobe Journey Optimizer. If you also plan to make privacy requests for the Platform data lake, refer to this guide in addition to this tutorial. For Real time customer profile, please refer to this guide and for Identity service, please refer to this guide. For delete and access requests you need to call these individual systems to make sure the requests are handled by each of them. Making a privacy request to Adobe Journey Optimizer will not remove data from all these systems.

For access requests, specify “Adobe Journey Optimizer” from the UI (or “CJM” as a product code in the API).

For delete requests, in addition to the “Adobe Journey Optimizer” request, you must also submit delete requests to three upstream services to prevent Journey Optimizer from reinjecting the deleted data. If these upstream services are not specified, the “Adobe Journey Optimizer” request will remain in the “processing” state until delete requests for the upstream services are created.

The three upstream services are:

  • Profile (product code: “profileService”)
  • AEP Data Lake (product code: “AdobeCloudPlatform”)
  • Identity (product code: “identity”)
