Sends a confirmation link to the calling person’s address on file; processing waits for confirmation.

\### Quire permissions

Credential scopes: `me:write`.

The acting subject must also be allowed to perform this action in the organisation.

  - format `date`
- `createMyDataRequest.header.Idempotency-Key` (string, optional) — A caller-chosen key making this request safe to retry. A replay of a completed request returns the recorded response with `Idempotency-Replayed: true`. Reusing a key for a different request is refused.
  - maxLength 255

## Request body

_Required._

- `createMyDataRequest.kind` (string, required)
  - one of `"export"`, `"portability"`, `"erase"`, `"rectify"`
- `createMyDataRequest.details` (string, optional)
