What should organizations not do when they receive a "do not process" request?

When organizations receive a "do not process" request, it is essential that they respect the consumer's wishes regarding their data. Processing the consumer's data without acknowledgment disregards their request and can lead to violations of privacy regulations, potential legal issues, and a loss of trust with the consumer.

In contrast, documenting the request for future reference is a best practice, as it helps organizations keep track of the requests made by consumers and ensures compliance with their wishes. Providing information on compliance reviews and updating the consumer on timelines can also contribute to transparency and reinforce trust in the organization's commitment to following privacy regulations. Thus, the correct action in this context is to avoid processing the consumer's data without acknowledgment.
