  • Publication number: 20210256161
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a data processing data inventory generation system is configured to: (1) generate a data model (e.g., a data inventory) for one or more data assets utilized by a particular organization; (2) generate a respective data inventory for each of the one or more data assets; and (3) map one or more relationships between one or more aspects of the data inventory, the one or more data assets, etc. within the data model. In particular embodiments, a data asset (e.g., data system, software application, etc.) may include any entity that collects, processes, contains, and/or transfers personal data (e.g., a software application, database, website, server, etc.). A data asset may include any software or device (e.g., server or servers) utilized by a particular entity for such data collection, processing, transfer, storage, etc. The system may then utilize the generated model to fulfil a data subject access request.

  • Publication number: 20210256157
    Abstract: In various embodiments, before a data subject request can be processed, the data subject's identity may need to be verified. In various embodiments, the system provides a mechanism to automatically detect the type of authentication required for a particular data subject based on the type of Data Subject Access Request being made and automatically issues a request to the data subject to verify their identity against that form of identification. For example, a subject rights request might only require two types of authentication, but a deletion request may require four types of data to verify authentication. The system may automatically detect which is type of authentication is required based on the DSAR and send an appropriate request to the data subject to verify their identity.

  • Publication number: 20210248216
    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: 20210200902
    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: 20210192081
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20210192082
    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) in order to collect, store, and or process the subject's personal data. 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, over 13, or any other suitable age) in order to provide valid consent. Data processing systems may generate and store one or more consent records memorializing valid consent for data processing from data subjects in response to confirming that the data subject is old enough to provide such consent.
