Abstract: System and methods are disclosed for redacting analyzing unstructured data in a request for data associated with a data subject to determine whether the unstructured data is relevant to the request. The relevancy of pieces of the unstructured data may be determined by determining a categorization for each such piece of unstructured data and comparing them to known personal data associated with the data subject having the same categorization. Pieces of the unstructured data that do not match known personal data having the same categorization are redacted from the request before the request is processed.

Abstract: Data processing systems and methods according to various embodiments are adapted for automatically detecting and documenting privacy-related aspects of computer software. Particular embodiments are adapted for: (1) automatically scanning source code to determine whether the source code include instructions for collecting personal data; and (2) facilitating the documentation of the portions of the code that collect the personal data. For example, the system may automatically prompt a user for comments regarding the code. The comments may be used, for example, to populate: (A) a privacy impact assessment; (B) system documentation; and/or (C) a privacy-related data map. The system may comprise, for example, a privacy comment plugin for use in conjunction with a code repository.

Abstract: A chat robot may be used to facilitate interaction with a user in the determination of whether to initiate and process a data subject access request (DSAR). At a DSAR submission webpage, the chatbot may interact with a user to determine the information the user is in need of and/or the actions that the user may take. The chatbot may provide the information desired by the user, avoiding the processing overhead of submission and fulfillment of a DSAR. The chatbot may also facilitate completion of a DSAR on behalf of the user when needed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for verifying the identity of a data subject. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: receiving, via a browser, a consumer rights request for a data subject for performing an action with regard to personal data associated with the data subject; detecting a state of the browser indicating a location; identifying a law based on the location; determining a level of identity verification required based on the law; generating, based on the level, a GUI by configuring a first prompt on the GUI configured for receiving input for a first type of identity verification; transmitting an instruction to present the GUI; receiving the input for the first type of identity verification; verifying the identity of the data subject based on the input; and responsive to verifying the identity, causing performance of the action.

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.

Abstract: A data processing system, according to various embodiments, may receive a data subject access request that includes a request to delete personal data of a particular data subject, modify personal data of the data subject, and/or provide personal data of the data subject. At least partially in response to receiving the data subject access request, the system may determine whether the data subject access request was initiated by an automated source. At least partially in response to determining that the data subject access request was initiated by an automated source, the system may automatically take at least one action to have the data subject access request reinitiated by a human source. At least partially in response to determining that the data subject access request was initiated by a human, the system may automatically facilitate the fulfillment of the data subject access request.
