What it is

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to see, correct, delete, or transfer your personal data, object to how it is processed, and appeal if Salesforce declines your request.

This analysis describes what Salesforce's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

These rights are meaningful but are qualified by the phrase 'subject to local data protection laws,' meaning the rights you actually have depend on your jurisdiction. EU and California residents have the broadest statutory rights.

Interpretive note: The specific rights available to any individual user are conditional on their jurisdiction, and the document does not specify which rights apply in which regions beyond referencing 'local data protection laws,' requiring users to independently assess their statutory entitlements.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Salesforce acknowledges a comprehensive list of data subject rights, but which rights apply to you depends on your location. EU, UK, and California residents have the strongest legal basis to enforce rights including deletion, portability, and objection to automated profiling. You can submit requests via the privacy form or by email at privacy@salesforce.com.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Navigate to the Salesforce privacy request form. Select the type of right you wish to exercise (e.g. deletion, access, portability), complete the required identity verification fields, indicate your country and state of residence, and submit the request.
  • Export Your Data
    Send an email to privacy@salesforce.com specifying that you are requesting a copy of your personal data held by Salesforce. Include your country and state of residence to help Salesforce identify the applicable legal framework for your request.

— Excerpt from Salesforce's Salesforce Privacy Statement

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision reflects the data subject rights framework under GDPR Articles 15 through 22, the CCPA and CPRA rights regime applicable to California residents, and equivalent frameworks under UK GDPR and various other national privacy laws. The right to appeal a refusal reflects both GDPR's requirement to provide reasoning for refusals and CPRA's appeals requirement. The anti-discrimination right mirrors CCPA's prohibition on penalizing consumers for exercising privacy rights. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The breadth of rights listed is largely a reflection of statutory obligations rather than voluntary commitments, but operationalizing these rights requires robust intake, verification, and response processes. Failure to respond to access or deletion requests within statutory timeframes (30 days under CCPA with one 45-day extension, one month under GDPR with up to two-month extension) creates direct regulatory risk. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK residents have the most comprehensive and directly enforceable rights, with supervisory authority complaint mechanisms available. California residents have CCPA and CPRA rights enforceable by the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California AG. Residents in other US states with comprehensive privacy laws (Virginia, Colorado, Texas, among others) have varying rights that may overlap with those listed. The appeals right is specifically required under CPRA and several other US state privacy laws. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should assess whether their use of Salesforce services creates obligations on Salesforce as a processor to assist with data subject requests directed to the enterprise customer. The DPA governs this obligation in the processor context; this Privacy Statement governs Salesforce's own controller-capacity obligations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations that are enterprise customers should review their DPA with Salesforce to confirm the data subject request assistance provisions and response timelines. Salesforce's own rights intake process via the web form and email should be tested periodically to confirm response timelines and verification procedures meet statutory requirements. Records of requests received and responses provided should be maintained for regulatory audit purposes.
