  • Patent number: 10713387
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a consent conversion optimization system is configured to test two or more test consent interfaces against one another to determine which of the two or more consent interfaces results in a higher conversion percentage (e.g., to determine which of the two or more interfaces lead to a higher number of end users and/or data subjects providing a requested level of consent for the creation, storage and use or cookies by a particular website). The system may, for example, analyze end user interaction with each particular test consent interface to determine which of the two or more user interfaces: (1) result in a higher incidence of a desired level of provided consent; (2) are easier to use by the end users and/or data subjects (e.g., take less time to complete, require a fewer number of clicks, etc.); (3) etc.

  • Patent number: 10706176
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a Consent Refresh, Re-Prompt, and Recapture System is configured to interface with a Consent Receipt Management System in order to, for example: (1) monitor previously provided consent by one or more data subjects that may be subject to future expiration; (2) monitor a data subject's activity to anticipate the data subject attempting an activity that may require a level of consent (e.g., for the processing of particular data subject data) that is higher than the system has received; and/or (3) identify other changes in circumstances or triggering events for a data subject that may warrant a refresh or recapture (e.g., or attempted capture) of a particular required consent (e.g., required to enable an entity to properly or legally execute a transaction with a data subject). The system may then be configured to automatically refresh, re-prompt for, and/or recapture consent as necessary.

  • Publication number: 20200210558
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200193063
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a consent receipt management system is configured to track and analyze one or more attributes of a user interface via which data subjects are requested to provide consent (e.g., consent to process, collect, and/or store personal data) in order to determine which of the one or more attributes are more likely to result in a successful receipt of consent from a data subject. For example, the system may be configured to analyze one or more instances in which one or more data subjects provided or did not provide consent in order to identify particular attributes and/or factors that may increase a likelihood of a data subject providing consent.

  • Publication number: 20200175206
    Abstract: 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).

  • Publication number: 20200167501
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a data processing consent management system may be configured to utilize one or more age verification techniques to at least partially authenticate the data subject's ability to provide valid consent (e.g., under one or more prevailing legal requirements). For example, according to one or more particular legal or industry requirements, an individual (e.g., data subject) may need to be at least a particular age (e.g., an age of majority, an adult, over 18, over 21, etc.) in order to provide valid consent. Consent receipt management systems may be implemented in the context of any suitable privacy management system that is configured to ensure compliance with one or more legal or industry standards related to the collection and/or storage of private information. In particular embodiments, the system is configured to manage one or more consent receipts between a data subject and an entity.
