DPS SCANNER

Automated Category Suggestions

To help with your set up of Data Processing Services, we now include category suggestions in the DPS Scanner. Once the initial scan is complete upon setup, you’ll be able to access it under DPS Overview. If there is a relevant category suggestion available, it will appear in the Category column. These automated suggestions can really save you a lot of time managing services efficiently.

We want you to be able to access and manage your data as efficiently as possible, so you can focus on your core business and achieve optimizations faster. If you prefer to see the full version history file instead this view can easily be shown.

Deprecation of Data Processing Services

Updates on Deprecation Services

Legal Updates@2x

Don’t forget!

 

To ensure the greatest accuracy for your Consent Management Platform and the Data Processing Services we provide, we have deprecated certain Data Processing Service templates. These templates are mainly duplicates of existing services and will no longer show in the Admin Interface, so can no longer be selected from our database.

 

Your current implementation will not be affected. However, from now on, legal updates will only be done for the new templates, so we highly recommend changing any affected templates.

 

A guide with details about the customizations can be found here.

 

An overview of all deprecated templates can be found here.

 

For Tech Partners, we recommend replacing old templates in all affected CMP configurations with the new updated templates.

 

Please find the technical details on the adjustments here.
