  • Patent number: 10176502
    Abstract: Computer implemented methods, according to various embodiments, comprise: (1) integrating a privacy management system with DLP tools; (2) using the DLP tools to identify sensitive information that is stored in computer memory outside of the context of the privacy management system; and (3) in response to the sensitive data being discovered by the DLP tool, displaying each area of sensitive data to a privacy officer (e.g., similar to pending transactions in a checking account that have not been reconciled). A designated privacy officer may then select a particular entry and either match it up (e.g., reconcile it) with an existing data flow or campaign in the privacy management system, or trigger a new privacy assessment to be done on the data to capture the related privacy attributes and data flow information.

  • Patent number: 10169609
    Abstract: Responding to a data subject access request includes receiving the request and validating an identity of the requestor. In response to validating the identity of the requestor, a computer processor determines whether the data subject access request is subject to fulfillment constraints. If so, then the computer processor notifies the requestor that the data subject access request is subject to one or more limitations and the computer processor takes action based on those limitations. Fulfillment constraint data is updated and maintained in a database or server.

  • Patent number: 10169788
    Abstract: Data processing computer systems, in various embodiments, are adapted for: (1) presenting a threshold privacy assessment that includes a first set of privacy-related questions for a privacy campaign; (2) receiving respective answers to the first set of questions; (3) using this initial set of answers to calculate an initial privacy risk score for the privacy campaign; (4) determining whether the privacy risk score exceeds the threshold privacy risk value; (5) in response to the privacy risk score exceeding the threshold privacy risk value, providing one or more supplemental questions to the user to facilitate the completion of a full privacy impact assessment. In some embodiments, in response to determining that the privacy risk score does not exceed the threshold privacy risk value, the systems and methods provide an indication that the particular privacy campaign is a relatively low privacy campaign.

  • Patent number: 10169789
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a privacy campaign data modification system is configured to store one or more electronic messages in memory and associate those electronic messages with a particular processing activity. The system may be configured to automatically analyze the electronic messages to determine whether personal data is being transferred from one territory to another as part of the processing activity. If so, the system may update a risk level associated with the processing activity to reflect the cross-border transfer. The system may also be configured to automatically analyze the electronic messages to determine whether personal data is being transferred from a party inside a particular organization to a party outside the organization. If so, the system may update the risk level associated with the processing activity to reflect the transfer of the personal data out of the organization.

  • Patent number: 10165011
    Abstract: Data processing systems and methods, according to various embodiments, perform privacy assessments and monitor new versions of computer code for updated features and conditions that relate to compliance with privacy standards. The systems and methods may obtain a copy of computer code (e.g., a software application or code associated with a website) that collects and/or uses personal data, and then automatically analyze the computer code to identify one or more privacy-related attributes that may impact compliance with applicable privacy standards. The system may be adapted to monitor one or more locations (e.g., an online software application marketplace, and/or a specified website) to determine whether the application or website has changed. The system may, after analyzing the computer code, display the privacy-related attributes, collect information regarding the attributes, and automatically notify one or more designated individuals (e.g.
