Publication number: 20220171825Abstract: In various embodiments, a system may be configured to analyze data for a particular consent capture point to identify a change in consent capture rate from the capture point. The system may, for example, be configured to automatically detect that the system has stopped receiving consent records from a particular capture point. In such embodiments, the system may be configured to generate an alert, and transmit the alert to any suitable individual (e.g., privacy team member, IT department member, etc.) regarding the capture point. The system may, for example, enable an entity to identify one or more capture points that may have become non-functional (e.g., as a result of one or more changes to the capture point).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Applicant: OneTrust, LLCInventors: Jonathan Blake Brannon, Casey Hill, Kevin Jones, Richard A.

Publication number: 20220138646Abstract: Data processing systems and methods, according to various embodiments, are adapted for determining an applicable privacy policy based on various criteria associated with a user and the associated product or service. User and product criteria may be obtained automatically and/or based on user input and analyzed by a privacy policy rules engine to determine the applicable policy. Text from the applicable policy can then be presented to the user. A default policy can be used when no particular applicable policy can be identified using by the rules engine. Policies may be ranked or prioritized so that a policy can be selected in the event the rules engine identifies two, conflicting policies based on the criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2022Publication date: May 5, 2022Applicant: OneTrust, LLCInventors: Richard A. Beaumont, Jonathan Blake Brannon

Publication number: 20220004663Abstract: In various embodiments, a personal data processing system may require guardian consent (e.g., parental consent) for a data subject in order to collect, store, and or process the subject's personal data. The system may prompt the data subject to initiate a request for guardian consent or the system may initiate a request for guardian consent without initiation from the data subject (e.g., in the background of a transaction). In some embodiments, the system may require guardian consent when a data subject is under the age for valid consent for the particular type of personal data that will be collected as part of a particular transaction. Data processing systems may generate and store one or more consent records memorializing valid consent for data processing from data subjects and/or from guardians on their behalf (e.g., in the case of a minor data subject).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Applicant: OneTrust, LLCInventors: Jonathan Blake Brannon, Casey Hill, Kevin Jones, Richard A.

Publication number: 20210248216Abstract: A consent receipt management system may include one or more consent validity scoring systems. In various embodiments, a consent validity scoring system may be configured to detect a likelihood that a user is correctly consenting via a web form. The system may be configured to determine such a likelihood based at least in part on one or more data subject behaviors while the data subject is completing the web form in order to provide consent. In various embodiments, the system is configured to monitor the data subject behavior based on, for example: mouse speed; mouse hovering; mouse position; keyboard inputs; an amount of time spent completing the web form; etc. The system may be further configured to calculate a consent validity score for each generated consent receipt based at least in part on an analysis of the data subject's behavior.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: OneTrust, LLCInventors: Kabir A.

Publication number: 20210240849Abstract: A centralized data repository system, in various embodiments, is configured to provide a central data-storage repository (e.g., one or more servers, databases, etc.) for the centralized storage of personally identifiable information (PII) and/or personal data for one or more particular data subjects. In particular embodiments, the centralized data repository may enable the system to populate one or more data models (e.g., using one or more suitable techniques described above) substantially on-the-fly (e.g., as the system collects, processes, stores, etc. personal data regarding a particular data subject). In this way, in particular embodiments, the system is configured to maintain a substantially up-to-date data model for a plurality of data subjects (e.g., each particular data subject for whom the system collects, processes, stores, etc. personal data).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: OneTrust, LLCInventors: Kabir A.

Publication number: 20210192081Abstract: In various embodiments, an entity may provide a WebView where a transaction between an entity and a data subject may be performed. As described herein, the transaction may involve the collection or processing of personal data associated with the data subject by the entity as part of a processing activity undertaken by the entity that the data subject is consenting to as part of the transaction. Additionally, the entity may provide a native application where the transactions between the entity and a data subject may be performed. In some embodiments, the system may be configured to share consent data between the WebView and the native application so data subjects experience a seamless transition while using either the WebView or the native application, and the data subjects are not required to go through a consent workflow for each of the WebView and the native application.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2021Publication date: June 24, 2021Applicant: OneTrust, LLCInventors: Jonathan Blake Brannon, Richard A.
