Comment (by JoshuaWold):

 I prefer the suggestion of NOT giving a download link when the export has
 nothing to share.

 Two quick points:

 1. Are we going to surface in the admin a message to the user?
 2. With the email that gets sent out can we write a slightly different
 message?

 Instead of saying:

 “Howdy, Your request for an export of personal data has been completed. No
 personal data was found.”

 What if we said:

 “Howdy, Your request for an export of personal data has been completed.
 [Site name] has identified no personal data for the user associated with
 [email].”
