Which piece of information is generally NOT required for a “do not process” request?

In a “do not process” request, the primary goal is to ensure that specific personal data is not processed or used by an entity. Personal identification details, specific accounts or identifiers, and contact information are typically necessary to accurately identify the individual making the request and to ensure that the request is processed effectively. These elements help the entity understand who is requesting the stop of processing and which data specifically should be halted from use.

Bank account numbers, while sensitive information, are generally not required for a "do not process" request. This is because the request is focused on the broader category of personal data, and including bank account numbers might not be necessary or relevant for ensuring that processing of data is stopped. Entities can effectively process a "do not process" request with standard identification and account details without needing the specifics of banking information, which pertains more to financial transactions rather than personal data usage cessation. Thus, bank account numbers are often considered excessive for this kind of request.
