Request a Data Export

Downloading a Data Export

Importance

The user will receive a notification when the Privacy Officer (PO) or site administrator approves the request for the export of user data. This indicates that the export file is ready for download.

Location

User data and policy management functions are found in the Privacy and policies panel of the user profile page accessed via User menu ► Profile

Steps

  • Select the Data requests link in the Privacy and policies panel.
  • Locate the export request in the Data requests table. A data export request that has been successfully processed will have the status of Download ready. To begin the download of the export file, expand the Actions menu and select Download. This will begin the download of an export.zip file to the local device as dictated by the specific browser being used.
  • Unzip the export.zip file to produce a folder containing the exported files.
  • Open the included index.html file. This opens a page in the default browser that offers a navigable structure of the exported user data.
