What are consumers entitled to when they submit a "do not process" request?

When consumers submit a "do not process" request, they are asserting their right to discontinue the processing of their personal data and to receive information regarding how their data is handled. This is a fundamental aspect of privacy laws and regulations, which empower individuals to have control over their personal information.

A "do not process" request typically implies that an individual does not want their data to be collected, used, or shared by companies. In many jurisdictions, consumers have the right to understand the practices surrounding their data, which includes disclosure about how their information is used, who it is shared with, and the measures taken to protect it. By exercising this right, consumers can take steps to protect their privacy and ensure their preferences are respected.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the entitlements associated with a "do not process" request. For example, the request does not expedite data processing or guarantee regular updates about data—these elements are irrelevant to the cessation of data processing. Moreover, while access to databases may be desired by consumers, it is not an entitlement specifically connected to the act of submitting a "do not process" request.
