Abstract: Disclosed are some techniques for implementing a data discovery agent in a network associated with a customer organization of a data privacy management system. Some implementations relate to one or more connections with one or more data sources storing private data of the customer organization. The one or more data sources can be scanned to obtain scanned data from the private data. The scanned data can be processed, including anonymizing the scanned data, to obtain preprocessed data for use by one or more classification operations. The preprocessed data can be shared with the data privacy management system. One or more classification promotion operations can be performed on classified data elements.

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing privacy requests related to information privacy are described. A server computing system may be configured to receive data related to a privacy request for personal information associated with a person, the data related to the privacy request sent by an agent of the person to a company from a computer system associated with the agent, the agent acting on behalf of the person as related to the information privacy, the personal information stored in one or more databases associated with the server computing system; confirm that the person authorizes the agent to act on behalf of the person as related to the information privacy; and based on successful confirmation that the person authorizes the agent, process the privacy request on behalf of the company.

Abstract: Systems and methods for discovering data related to information privacy are described. A server computing system may receive data from a first computing system, the first computing system verified to store personal information of customers of an entity. The server computing system may associate a second computing system with the entity based on the data from the first computing system referencing the second computing system. The server computing system may generate a live data map for the entity, the live data map configured to include at least information about whether the first computing system and the second computing system store the personal information of the customers of the entity, the live data map used to search for the personal information in response to personal information verification requests received by the entity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying requests for personal information are described. A server computing system may receive a request for personal information associated with a requester, the request sent based on a government regulation related to consumer privacy rights, the request including a first identifier provided by the requester, the personal information stored in one or more databases based on one or more past transactions engaged between the requester and an entity associated with the one or more databases. The server computing system may search the one or more databases using the first identifier to identify a second identifier related to the first identifier, the second identifier stored in the one or more databases by the entity based on the one or more past transactions. The server computing system may verify identity of the requester using at least the second identifier.

Abstract: In a method of visually representing a hierarchy of category nodes that identify one or more concepts, accesses to documents are tracked and one or more concepts that are relevant to the accessed documents are determined. In addition, one or more category paths through the hierarchy of category nodes for the determined one or more concepts are determined and relevance levels for the category nodes with respect to the determined one or more concepts are determined based upon the generated one or more category paths. Moreover, a graph depicting a visual representation of the relevance levels determined for each of the category nodes in the hierarchy of category nodes is constructed.

Abstract: For each web page visited, a path is determined through a hierarchy of categories. The hierarchy of categories has levels from a most abstract level to a most concrete level. For each microblog entry of a microblog, a path is determined through the hierarchy of categories. Each microblog entry for which the path is similar to the path for at least one web page is determined as a selected microblog entry.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to providing control over a personalized category of information. In one embodiment, a personalized category of information is determined based on stored information associated with the use of an electronic device 110. In one embodiment, user feedback on the personalized category of information is received. If the user feedback comprises a rejection of the personalized category of information, the personalized category of information is discarded.

Abstract: In a method of determining at least one category path for identifying an input text, one or more categories that are most relevant to the input text are determined, one or more concepts that are most relevant to the input text using information from a labeled text data source and the one or more categories determined to be the most relevant to the input text are determined, and one or more category paths through a hierarchy of predefined category levels are determined for one or more of the determined concepts.
