Sendgrid

Implementation Summary

Fidesops uses the following Sendgrid endpoints to retrieve and delete Personally Identifiable Information (PII) when processing a Data Subject Request (DSR). Right to Access and Right to Delete (Right to Forget) support for each endpoint is noted below.

Endpoint	Right to Access	Right to Delete
Contacts	Yes	Yes

Connection Settings

Fidesops provides a Postman collection for easily establishing connections to your third party applications. Additional connection instructions may be found in the configuration guide.

Deletion requests are fulfilled by masking PII via UPDATE endpoints. To give fidesops permission to remove PII using DELETE endpoints, ensure the masking_strict variable in your fidesops.toml file is set to fALSE.
