Implementation Summary

Ethyca uses the following endpoints in Jira 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
IssueYesYes (email value is masked)
CommentYesYes (email value is masked)

Because Jira acts as both a project tracking and help desk platform, it stores PII about your customers. Keep this in mind when you are setting the DSR Customization as it will impact what is returned in your subject's DSR package.

If this aligns with your use of Jira, 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.
