  • Patent number: 11960564
    Abstract: Data processing systems and methods, according to various embodiments, are adapted for determining a categorization for each tracking tool that executes on a particular webpage based on a variety of criteria, such as the purpose of the tracking tool and its source script. The system may compare the characteristics of tracking tools on a webpage to a database of known tracking tools to determine the appropriate categorization. When a user visits the webpage, the system analyzes these categories and determines whether the tracking tool should be permitted to run based on the categories and/or other criteria, such as whether the user has consented to the use of that type of tracking tool.

  • Patent number: 11947708
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a sensitive data management system is configured to remove sensitive data after a period of non-use. Credentials used to access remote systems and/or third-party systems are stored with metadata that is updated with each use of the credentials. After a period of non-use, determined based on credential metadata, the credentials are deleted. Personal data retrieved to process a consumer request is stored with metadata that is updated with each use of the personal data. After a period of non-use, determined based on personal data metadata, the personal data is deleted. The personal data is also deleted if the system determines that the process or system that caused the personal data to be retrieved is no longer in use. An encrypted version of personal data may be stored for later use in verifying proper consumer request fulfillment.

  • Publication number: 20230289376
    Abstract: System and methods are disclosed for redacting analyzing unstructured data in a request for data associated with a data subject to determine whether the unstructured data is relevant to the request. The relevancy of pieces of the unstructured data may be determined by determining a categorization for each such piece of unstructured data and comparing them to known personal data associated with the data subject having the same categorization. Pieces of the unstructured data that do not match known personal data having the same categorization are redacted from the request before the request is processed.
