Data Privacy - GDPR | Online Help - Zoho CRM

Data Privacy

A record's details are available in two sections - Info and Timeline. When you switch on GDPR Compliance in your Zoho CRM account, you will be able to view another section, namely Data Privacy. This section has the following details:

  1. Data Source
  2. Personal Fields
  3. Data Processing Bases

View Data Source

Data Subject information can be pushed into Zoho CRM from multiple sources such as the web-forms, by importing, APIs and third-party integrations. Data Source displays the information about how the record was Created and when it was Last Updated. Along with these information, additional details will also be available as listed in the table below.

You can change this based on your discretion and business cases.
