Data request undertaking

Undertakings are a per-user agreement around data usage that must be viewed and approved by each team member for every data request. This ensures accountability and compliance with data protection regulations, fostering a culture of responsible data handling and privacy. By requiring each team member to participate in the approval process, organisations can actively promote a data privacy and security culture where everyone knows their role in safeguarding sensitive information.

The dataset owners configure each undertaking for requesting access to a dataset. Each undertaking may vary depending on the requested dataset.
