Abstract

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).

Claims (39)

1. A method comprising:

monitoring, by computing hardware, a consent capture point to determine a rate at which consent records are provided via the consent capture point, wherein the consent records represent consent provided by data subjects to initiate transactions;

identifying, by the computing hardware, a change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point;

determining, by the computing hardware, the consent capture point is not functioning properly based at least in part on the change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point;

responsive to determining the consent capture point is not functioning properly, generating by the computing hardware, an indication that the consent capture point is not functioning properly; and

providing, by the computing hardware, the indication for display on a graphical user interface.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transactions involve at least one of collecting or processing of personal data associated with the data subjects.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point comprises a reduction of the rate to zero.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point comprises a reduction in the rate below a particular threshold level.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the consent capture point comprises at least one of a webpage, a website, or a mobile application.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising, responsive to determining that the consent capture point is not functioning properly, flagging, by the computing hardware, a piece of computer code associated with the consent capture point for modification.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising, responsive to determining that the consent capture point is not functioning properly, determining, by the computing hardware, that a transaction does not have an associated consent record.

8. A consent receipt management system comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions; and

a processing device communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium,

wherein, the processing device is configured to execute the instructions and thereby perform operations comprising:

monitoring a consent capture point to determine a rate at which consent records are provided via the consent capture point, wherein the consent records represent consent provided by data subjects to initiate transactions involving at least one of collecting or processing of personal data associated with the data subjects;

identifying a change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point;

determining the consent capture point is not functioning properly based at least in part on the change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point; and

responsive to determining the consent capture point is not functioning properly, facilitating modification of the consent capture point.

9. The consent receipt management system of claim 8 , wherein facilitating modification of the consent capture point comprises:

generating an electronic alert; and

transmitting the electronic alert to an individual responsible for the consent capture point.

10. The consent receipt management system of claim 8 , wherein the change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point comprises a reduction in the rate to zero.

11. The consent receipt management system of claim 8 , wherein the change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point comprises a reduction below a specified threshold level.

12. The consent receipt management system of claim 8 , wherein the consent capture point comprises at least one of a webpage, a website, or a mobile application.

13. The consent receipt management system of claim 8 , wherein facilitating modification of the consent capture point comprises flagging a piece of computer code associated with the consent capture point for modification.

14. The consent receipt management system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise, responsive to determining that the consent capture point is not functioning properly, generating an alert that the personal data is being collected or processed without proper consent.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by processing hardware, configure the processing hardware to perform operations comprising:

monitoring a consent capture point to determine a rate at which consent records are provided via the consent capture point, wherein the consent records represent consent provided by data subjects to initiate transactions involving at least one of collecting or processing personal data associated with the data subjects;

identifying a change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point;

determining that the consent capture point is not functioning properly based on the change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point; and

responsive to determining that the consent capture point is not functioning properly, facilitating modification of the consent capture point.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point comprises a reduction in the rate to zero.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the change in the rate at which the consent records are provided via the consent capture point comprises a reduction in the rate at which the consent records are provided satisfying a threshold level.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the consent capture point comprises at least one of a webpage, a website, or a mobile application.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein facilitating modification of the consent capture point comprises flagging a piece of computer code associated with the consent capture point for modification.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein facilitating modification of the consent capture point comprises generating an alert that the personal data is being collected or processed without proper consent.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the consent capture point comprises a consent capture means.
