Sendgrid

Implementation Summary

Fides uses the following Sendgrid endpoints to retrieve and delete Personally Identifiable Information (PII) when processing a Privacy Request. 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 (opens in a new tab)	Yes	Yes

Connection Settings

Connection instructions may be found in the configuration guide.

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