Creating a Data Recipient

TrustArcOverviewCreating a Data Recipient

Overview

Data recipients are the third parties or internal teams that receive personal data your organization collects and processes — for example, cloud service providers, payment processors, or regulatory authorities. In the Data Mapping & Risk Manager (DMRM), data recipients are organized into categories and assigned an External ID for reference across integrated systems.

This article explains how to create a new data recipient in DMRM, including how to assign a category, set an External ID, and control its visibility.

What you can do

✓Create a new data recipient with a custom name and category

✓Assign an External ID for cross-system reference

✓Control whether the data recipient is visible for selection across the platform

Creating a Data Recipient

To create a new data recipient, follow these steps:

1

In the left navigation panel, hover over the Data Mapping & Risk Manager icon, and then navigate to Settings > Data Recipients.

2

In the top-right corner of the page, click Add New, and then complete the following fields:

• Name — Enter the data recipient name.

• Category — Select a data recipient category from the dropdown list. If no existing category applies, select Create new and enter a name for the new category.

• External ID — Enter an external identifier for the data recipient.

• Visibility — The data recipient is set to visible by default. To hide it from selection, clear the checkbox.

📋 Note: The new data recipient appears in all data recipient category dropdowns and on the Data Recipients settings page, provided its visibility is enabled.
