Implementation Summary

Ethyca uses the following endpoints in Algolia to retrieve and delete Personally Identifiable Information (PII) when a user submits a data subject request. See below for a summary of what Ethyca does with each endpoint:

EndpointUser Can DownloadUser Can Delete
Searchable AttributesYesYes

Because Algolia is a search and recommendation API, it stores PII about your current employees and past applicants. Keep this in mind when you are setting the DSR Customization as it will impact what is returned in your subject's DSR package.

Algolia has logging. All logs are deleted after 90 days. When you delete an account, you can expect all query logs to disappear after that delay.

If this aligns with your use of Algolia, please proceed to the next section to begin setting up your integration in the Control Panel.

For any questions, please reach out to your dedicated Customer Success Manager.
