How to Create Brand-Specific Data Privacy Request Forms in Hubspot
Managing privacy requests across multiple brands can get complicated, but Hubspot gives you flexible tools to build brand-specific data privacy request forms and keep submissions organized for compliance teams.
This guide walks you through how to use the data privacy request feature to support multiple brands or business units, using separate inboxes, forms, and routing rules.
What Are Brand-Specific Data Privacy Requests in Hubspot?
When you manage several brands in a single Hubspot account, you may receive access, deletion, or update requests that must be handled by different teams. Brand-specific data privacy request forms let you:
- Provide separate request forms per brand or line of business.
- Route submissions to the right shared inbox or email address.
- Track, review, and resolve privacy requests within one centralized tool.
- Maintain clear audit trails for GDPR and similar regulations.
The core settings live in your data privacy request configuration area, where you define inboxes, allowed emails, and form behavior for each brand.
Prerequisites Before Configuring Hubspot Privacy Forms
Before you start building brand-specific data privacy forms in Hubspot, confirm the following:
- You have appropriate permissions to access account security and data privacy tools.
- You know which brands or business units need unique privacy request experiences.
- You have shared inboxes or team email addresses ready for each brand.
- You understand what legal bases and data subject rights your company supports.
You should also review your internal compliance process so you can map each step in Hubspot to the people actually handling the requests.
Step 1: Configure Shared Inboxes for Each Hubspot Brand
The first step is ensuring that every brand has a dedicated destination for incoming privacy requests.
Set Up or Select a Shared Inbox in Hubspot
- Open your account settings and navigate to the shared inbox configuration area.
- Create a new inbox for each brand, or select existing inboxes that your support or legal teams already use.
- Assign team members who will triage privacy requests for that brand.
- Verify that each inbox can receive external mail and is actively monitored.
Having one inbox per brand will make it easier to filter and report on data privacy tickets inside Hubspot.
Decide How Emails Should Be Routed
When a visitor submits a data privacy form, Hubspot can send notifications or route the submission directly to the inbox owners. Decide in advance whether:
- Each form should send a confirmation email to the requester.
- All internal notifications should go to a single compliance owner.
- Brand-specific teams should receive notifications only for their brand’s form.
Map those decisions to your shared inbox setup so that nothing gets missed.
Step 2: Enable and Access the Hubspot Data Privacy Request Tool
To use brand-specific forms, you must start from the main data privacy request area.
- Open your settings panel.
- Locate the section dedicated to account security or data privacy requests.
- Ensure the data privacy request feature is enabled for your account.
- Open the configuration interface where you can manage request channels and forms.
This central screen is where you will create and manage separate request experiences for each brand inside Hubspot.
Step 3: Create Brand-Specific Data Privacy Forms in Hubspot
Now you can create a dedicated data privacy request form for each brand.
Choose or Create a Form Per Brand
- In the data privacy request settings, select the option to create or manage forms.
- Add a new form for each brand that requires its own privacy request experience.
- Name each form clearly, including the brand name and the purpose (for example, “Brand A – Data Privacy Request”).
- Choose the fields your compliance team needs to fulfill the request, such as:
- Full name
- Email address
- Brand or product selection (if needed)
- Type of request (access, deletion, rectification, etc.)
- Additional details from the requester
Keep the form concise to encourage completion, while still collecting enough information for your team to verify identity and process the request.
Connect Each Form to the Correct Inbox
For each brand-specific form, configure where submissions go:
- Open the form’s settings.
- Set the destination shared inbox that belongs to the brand’s compliance or support team.
- Configure notification emails for internal stakeholders.
- Save and test the form to confirm messages arrive in the correct inbox.
Routing directly from the form to the brand’s shared inbox keeps your Hubspot workspace clean and aligned with your internal structure.
Step 4: Define Allowed Emails and Request Sources in Hubspot
To prevent abuse and keep your privacy channels secure, you can control which email addresses and sources are permitted.
Manage Allowed Email Addresses
- Open the allowed email settings within your data privacy configuration.
- Add any internal or external addresses that should be permitted to submit or forward privacy requests.
- Remove addresses that are no longer valid or should not be used for official requests.
- Maintain this list regularly to match your team changes.
Keeping the allowed email list up to date helps maintain data integrity and security inside Hubspot.
Configure Request Source Options
In some setups, requests can originate from multiple channels, such as:
- Embedded forms on your website
- Direct emails sent to your privacy inbox
- Forwarded messages from regional teams
Use the request source options to determine how these different inputs are handled and mapped to the correct brand-level forms and inboxes.
Step 5: Embed and Publish Your Hubspot Privacy Forms
Once forms are configured, you need to make them accessible on each brand’s digital properties.
Place the Right Form on Each Brand Site
- Generate the embed code or share link for each brand’s data privacy request form in Hubspot.
- Place the Brand A form on Brand A’s privacy page, and repeat for each brand.
- Ensure the links are included in your privacy policy, cookie policy, and footer on the relevant sites.
- Publish and verify that each page loads the correct form.
Label your pages clearly so visitors know they are submitting a formal data privacy request for a specific brand.
Test the End-to-End Experience
Before launching publicly, complete a full test for each brand:
- Submit a test request through the live form.
- Confirm that the submission reaches the correct shared inbox in Hubspot.
- Check that automated confirmation emails, if enabled, are delivered.
- Verify that internal workflows or tickets are created as expected.
Repeat the process for every brand to ensure consistency and compliance.
Step 6: Manage and Track Data Privacy Requests in Hubspot
After launch, your teams will manage all incoming requests directly from Hubspot.
Review and Respond to Incoming Requests
- Monitor the shared inbox associated with each brand.
- Open new data privacy requests and verify the requester’s identity according to your policy.
- Document each action taken to fulfill or decline the request.
- Reply to the requester using approved templates and timelines.
Maintaining a consistent review process across brands helps ensure regulatory compliance and a clear audit trail.
Use Filters and Reporting by Brand
You can analyze volume and performance by brand through filters and reports:
- Filter conversations or tickets by the brand-specific inbox or form.
- Track response and resolution times for each brand.
- Identify recurring privacy concerns or regions with higher request volume.
These insights can guide improvements to your consent collection, preferences centers, and privacy messaging.
Best Practices for Multi-Brand Privacy Management in Hubspot
To get the most from your multi-brand setup, consider the following best practices:
- Standardize field names and request types across all brand forms.
- Use clear language explaining what data subjects can request.
- Align internal workflows so each brand follows similar steps and SLAs.
- Regularly review forms and inbox ownership when teams change.
