Nominees

Nominees are individuals authorized to act on a data principal’s behalf when exercising privacy rights — for example, a legal guardian, spouse, or attorney. Each nominee record captures the relationship, contact details, and purpose of appointment. Nominees start with a "pending" status and can be updated or removed at any time.

All endpoints authenticate with X-API-Key.
