Why a Data Request API

PreviousData Request PracticeNextSecurity

Last updated 4 years ago

Given the rough state of exercising data rights, many solutions could be put forward. Why propose an API for data requests? The argument we make is that a standardised Data Rights API offers more technically robust, secure, accessible and compliant data rights experience. All the while, organisations have the opportunity to reduce compliance costs by following best practices, rather than inventing them.
