First-Party Request
A deletion or access request sent directly by the consumer from their own email or identity, not through an intermediary.
Full definition
A first-party request is one in which the consumer directly contacts the data broker or controller using their own email and identity, rather than using an agent or intermediary service. First-party requests avoid the verification overhead and possible rejection that third-party authorized agents sometimes face, and carry the strongest legal standing under CCPA and state laws. Tools like OfflistMe generate first-party request emails that the consumer sends from their own inbox.
