A dated, reverse-chronological record of changes to DSAR Desk's legal pages, pricing claims,
and jurisdiction/deadline figures — what changed, and why. This exists so a business relying on
our deadline guide or Terms can
see exactly when a figure was corrected, not just what it currently says. See also
Privacy Policy for what stays unchanged (how we handle data). These
pages are reviewed on a quarterly cycle internally; this log is updated whenever that review
changes something.
Scope:
This log covers legal, policy, or deadline-figure changes only —
pricing corrections, jurisdiction facts, entity-name fixes, and similar. It does not cover
ordinary product/design changes to the site.

Trust and policy page pack added; sub-processor list moved
- New policy pages published: Security (including a plain
"what we have not done yet" list), Data Processing Addendum,
Sub-processors (with a commitment to update it at least 14
days before adding a new sub-processor), Refunds & cancellation,
Accessibility, Service
status, Contact, and About.
Why: these commitments existed only implicitly (or not at all) before; a
customer doing vendor due diligence had nothing to cite.
- Privacy Policy section 7 restructured. The inline sub-processor table moved to
its own page (now also disclosing that pages load fonts from
Google Fonts, which receives the visitor's IP for the font request), and the "we haven't yet
built a self-serve DPA" sentence was replaced with a link to the published
DPA.
Why: both statements were superseded by the new pages; the Google Fonts
disclosure was previously missing entirely.

contact.html, accessibility.html, service-status.html, about.html

Resolved the 90-day DPDP question the first pass flagged
- The 90-day figure is real, but scoped to a different thing than the request deadline.
A Government of India press backgrounder (PIB, 17 Nov 2025) contains a line reading "Data
Fiduciaries are required to address all requests related to access, correction, updating or
erasure within a maximum of ninety days" — read in isolation, that sounds like a fixed statutory
response window for the request itself, the same category of thing GDPR (1 month) and CCPA
(45 days) fix. Checking the actual Rule text (Rule 14(3), via a rule-by-rule legal breakdown at
dpdpa.com) shows PIB's own paraphrase blurred two different things: Rule 14(3) requires a Data
Fiduciary to publish its grievance-redressal mechanism "within a reasonable period not exceeding
ninety days" — that 90-day cap is on how long the Fiduciary's own grievance process may
take to resolve a complaint about how a request was handled. It is not a cap on the original
access/correction/erasure request, which DPDP still leaves to the Fiduciary's own published
process, uncapped. The deadline guide and this
product's homepage JSON-LD now state both facts precisely and separately, citing Rule 14(3)
directly instead of only PIB's paraphrase of it.
Why: getting this exactly right matters more here than almost anywhere else on
the site — this product's whole job is telling a compliance team what their actual deadline is,
so a table-stakes accuracy bar applies. Omitting a real, verifiable 90-day figure because it
looked awkward to explain would have been its own kind of inaccuracy; the fix was in the scoping,
not in choosing a side.

Baseline (pre-audit)
Terms of Service and Privacy Policy last carried this date before the 26 August 2026 audit
above. No changelog existed prior to this page being created.

Removed the free-plan hard block at the intake form
The Free plan previously declined a business's 4th data-subject request in a calendar month
at the intake form, telling the requester to contact the business directly. Removed this entirely:
every request is now accepted, stored and deadline-tracked regardless of plan or count — a real
statutory request is the business's legal obligation whether or not they're paying us, and
refusing to even track it was a risk this product cannot carry. Past 3 requests in a month, the
business's notification email for that request now includes one additional line noting they're
over the Free plan's count and that Pro removes it, but nothing about how the request itself is
handled changes. Updated terms.html and the pricing card to describe
this accurately.

Corrected the privacy policy's self-serve deletion claim; surfaced the requester status page
The privacy policy said "DSAR Desk does not yet have... a self-serve delete my workspace
button" — that button has existed in Settings for a while; the policy text was simply never
updated when it shipped. Corrected it to describe what actually happens on deletion. Separately,
a requester-facing status page (status.html, backed by
/api/dsar-status) already existed but was never linked from anywhere a requester
would actually see it — added a link to it in the request-confirmation email and on the intake
form's "request submitted" screen.
