Abstract

A method of providing a data disclosure to a requester can include: receiving a data subject request from a requester, the data subject request including a request for stored personal data; categorizing the element data into one of a plurality of tiers based on a sensitivity level of the element data; assigning an assigned tier to the element data and associated data values; determining a level of detail of the associated data values for each of the element data to provide based on the assigned tier; and providing a data disclosure report to the requester, wherein the data disclosure report includes the level of detail of data values for each of the element data based on the assigned tier.

Claims (20)

1. A method of providing a data disclosure report to a requester, the method comprising:

receiving a data subject request from a requester, the data subject request including a request for stored personal data held by an entity about the requester, the stored personal data being sensitive information about the requester that was previously collected by the entity;

receiving element data and associated data values associated with the personal data from at least one source application of the entity;

categorizing the element data into one of a plurality of tiers based on a sensitivity level of the element data;

assigning an assigned tier to the element data and the associated data values;

determining a level of detail of the associated data values for the element data to provide based on the assigned tier, including providing the elemental data and no specific data values for a first tier, the elemental data and a redacted set of data values for a second tier, and the elemental data and the associated data values for a third tier; and

providing a data disclosure report to the requester, wherein the data disclosure report includes the level of detail of the associated data values for the element data based on the assigned tier and usage information, wherein the usage information includes a reason that the at least one source application stores the element data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the level of detail of data values provided in the report is dependent on a user authentication protocol.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the user authentication protocol is a user login on a user interface or a user authenticated phone call.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data disclosure report is available to the user for a predetermined period of time.

5. A system for providing a data disclosure report, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a system memory encoding instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:

receive a data subject request from a requester, the data subject request including a request for stored personal data held by an entity about the requester;

receive element data and associated data values associated with the personal data from at least one source application of the entity;

categorize the element data into one of a plurality of tiers based on a sensitivity level of the element data and assigning a tier to the element data and the associated data value;

determine a level of detail of the associated data values for the element data to provide based on the assigned tier, including providing the elemental data and no specific data values for a first tier, the elemental data and a redacted set of data values for a second tier, and the elemental data and the associated data values for a third tier; and

provide a data disclosure report to the requester, wherein the data disclosure report includes the level of detail of data values for the element data based on the assigned tier and usage information, wherein the usage information includes a reason that the at least one source applications stores the element data.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the level of detail of data values provided in the report is dependent on a user authentication protocol.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the data disclosure report is available to the user for a predetermined period of time.
