When your constituents request it, prepare and pack up the data you've received from them so that you can work toward complying with GDPR data portability and export requirements. We offer the following examples of common requests and considerations to help you plan how best to honor constituent requests around data portability. These are only suggestions for your review, and not guaranteed steps for ensuring compliance with any legal rule. Keep in mind that addressing constituent requests, including those provided for under the GDPR, can be challenging. A one-size-fits-all strategy may not always work, and you may need to adjust your approach when balancing organizational needs and legal obligations. For example, if exporting personal data to satisfy a GDPR data portability request may violate someone else’s rights, you might consider narrowing the fields in scope rather than exporting all data. If deleting personal data to satisfy a GDPR erasure request may conflict with other requirements around record preservation, you might consider anonymizing certain fields rather than wholesale deletion. As always, there are pros and cons to each approach, including legal and business impacts and risks, and you are responsible for your own compliance obligations in your use of the Salesforce Services and Salesforce.org applications. You should work with your advisors, including legal counsel, to determine whether you are covered under a legal requirement, and come up with a compliance plan that’s best for your organization.

Common Constituent Request Actions to Consider Things to Consider

Consider exporting these records and fields for your constituent:

  • Addresses

  • Households

  • Household Accounts

The export file should be in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format that is transferable, such as a .csv.
