Patent number: 11636171Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: February 18, 2022Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: OneTrust, LLCInventors: Jonathan Blake Brannon, Casey Hill, Kevin Jones, Richard A.

Publication number: 20230015047Abstract: A mobile application privacy analysis system is described, where the system scans a mobile device to identify files associated with a particular SDK and generates a tokenized name for the SDK. The tokenized name includes tokens representing the SDK vendor and one or more functions of the SDK. Using the tokenized name, the system then determines corresponding categories for each functionality token and score for each such category. Based on the scores, the system determines the most significant category and assigns that category to the SDK for use in privacy analysis. The system may also, or instead, determine a vendor category using the vendor token and assign that category to the SDK. Weighting factors may be applied to the scores for the categories associated with the functionality tokens and vendor tokens.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: OneTrust, LLCInventors: Kevin Jones, Pratik Doshi, Jonathan Blake Brannon, Prabhu Kumar
