Privacy Action History

The Privacy Action History page displays a record of all privacy-related events tracked by Autotask. These include:

  • Consent to the Privacy Policy
  • The erasure (redaction) of a contact or resource
  • Any change to the sales solicitations setting on the Contact page

This page is an audit page; you cannot manually add a record, or edit or delete one. You can, however, export the contents of the table in response to a customer request to confirm or prove that you complied with certain privacy requests.

You can sort and filter the table by any column.

The table displays the following:
