Compliance Settings Configuration

ShareCRM assists businesses in achieving GDPR compliance through the following methods:

Consent Settings: Defines management actions for data marked as “Agree” with a “Pending” status.
Personal Data Processing: Two restriction capabilities are available:
- Prohibit processing

These can be implemented via OpenAPI, with data classified into two levels:
- Regular data
- Sensitive data

1.2 Compliance Overview

After completing the initial setup, a [Overview] tab appears.

This interface provides enterprise administrators with a summary of compliance data, divided into three sections:
1. Legal Basis for Data Processing: Statistics by object, with options for administrators to modify.
2. Consent Records:
- Pending: Data marked with “Agree” as the legal basis.
- Obtained: Data where consent forms were submitted by users or manually updated.
3. Data Subject Requests: Capabilities tailored to each object’s requirements, including:
- Access
- Correction
- Export
- Restriction of processing
- Deletion
