Data processing consent sharing systems and related methods
In various embodiments, an entity may provide a WebView where a transaction between an entity and a data subject may be performed. As described herein, the transaction may involve the collection or processing of personal data associated with the data subject by the entity as part of a processing activity undertaken by the entity that the data subject is consenting to as part of the transaction. Additionally, the entity may provide a native application where the transactions between the entity and a data subject may be performed. In some embodiments, the system may be configured to share consent data between the WebView and the native application so data subjects experience a seamless transition while using either the WebView or the native application, and the data subjects are not required to go through a consent workflow for each of the WebView and the native application.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, from a data subject, by computing hardware via a WebView, data subject consent data for a cookie, wherein the WebView is configured to display web content within a native application;
storing, by the computing hardware, the cookie in a storage location accessible by the WebView;
executing, by the computing hardware via a software development kit (“SDK”) associated with the native application, a script to return a value associated with the cookie from the storage location to a native portion of code associated with the native application;
receiving, by the computing hardware and from the data subject, a request provided within the native application to perform an action requiring consent for particular data processing;
determining, by the computing hardware and based on the value, that the data subject has previously provided the consent for the particular data processing via the WebView; and
in response to determining that the data subject has previously provided the consent, causing performance of the action within the native application.
2. The method of claim 1 , the method comprising:
receiving, at the native application, a request to launch the WebView; and
in response to receiving the request to launch the WebView, launching, by the computing hardware, the WebView.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:
launching the WebView comprises directing the WebView to load a particular domain; and
setting the cookie for the particular domain.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein causing the performance of the action occurs without prompting the data subject to provide additional consent within the native application.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the storage location comprises at least one of:
one or more storage locations local to a computing device running the native application; or
one or more remote servers.
