Actions

The provided config.json includes Download and Delete default, representing common requests to access or remove data under most privacy regulations. Each action is associated with a Fides policy key, which defines the policy executed when the DSR is approved.
Additional actions can be added to this list, and removed at any time.
Consent
The Fides privacy center also includes options for managing consent. To learn more about enabling consent management, see the consent enforcement guides.
Styling
Any overrides for CSS styling can be included in a config.css file in the /app/config directory.
Run the Privacy Center
The Privacy Center is provided in a separate Docker image. To begin, run the following command:
docker pull ethyca/fides-privacy-center
The Privacy Center can be deployed independently, or alongside any other hosted components.
Once configured, the Privacy Center can be started with the following command:
docker run ethyca/fides-privacy-center
