Abstract
In various embodiments, a privacy campaign data modification system is configured to store electronic messages in memory and associate those electronic messages with a particular privacy campaign. In particular, a privacy officer or other individual may receive e-mails or other electronic messages that are associated with an existing privacy campaign or an existing privacy impact assessment currently being performed for a particular privacy campaign. In various embodiments, it may be necessary to store and maintain the electronic messages for any suitable reason (e.g., record keeping, auditing, etc.).
Claims20
A computer-implemented data processing method for electronically receiving the input of campaign data related to a privacy campaign and electronically calculating a risk level for the privacy campaign based on the data inputs comprising:
- displaying on a graphical user interface a prompt to create an electronic record for a privacy campaign, wherein the privacy campaign utilizes personal data collected from at least one or more persons or one or more entities;
- receiving a command to create an electronic record for the privacy campaign;
- creating an electronic record for the privacy campaign and digitally storing the record;
- presenting, on one or more graphical user interfaces, a plurality of prompts for the input of campaign data related to the privacy campaign;
- electronically receiving campaign data input by one or more users, wherein the campaign data identifies each of:
- a description of the campaign;
- one or more types of personal data related to the campaign;
- a subject from which the personal data was collected;
- the storage of the personal data;
- and
- access to the personal data;
- processing the campaign data by electronically associating the campaign data with the record for the privacy campaign;
- receiving, by one or more computer processors, a request to associate an electronic message with the record for the privacy campaign;
- in response to receiving the request, associating the electronic message with the record for the privacy campaign;
- digitally storing the campaign data associated with the record for the campaign;
- using one or more computer processors, calculating a risk level for the campaign based on the campaign data, wherein calculating the risk level for the campaign comprises:
- electronically retrieving from a database the campaign data associated with the record for the campaign;
- electronically determining a plurality of weighting factors for the campaign, wherein the plurality of weighting factors are based upon a plurality of factors including:
- the nature of the personal data associated with the campaign;
- the physical location of the personal data associated with the campaign;
- the length of time that the personal data associated with the campaign will be retained in storage;
- the type of individual from which the personal data associated with the campaign originated;
- and
- the country of residence of the individual from which the personal data associated with the campaign originated;
- electronically assigning a relative risk rating for each of the plurality of factors;
- and
- electronically calculating a risk level for the campaign based upon the plurality of weighting factors and the relative risk rating for each of the plurality of factors;
- and digitally storing the risk level associated with the record for the campaign.
A computer-implemented data processing method of electronically modifying a data structure comprising campaign data related to a privacy campaign, the method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a request to modify a data structure to include one or more electronic messages, wherein the data structure digitally stores campaign data related to a privacy campaign, and the campaign data identifies each of:
- a description of the privacy campaign;
- one or more types of personal data related to the privacy campaign;
- a subject from which the personal data was collected;
- a storage location of the personal data;
- and
- one or more access permissions related to the personal data;
- in response to receiving the request, modifying, by one or more processors, the data structure to include the one or more electronic messages;
- and
- associating, in the data structure, the one or more electronic messages with the campaign data.
A computer-implemented data processing method of electronically modifying campaign data related to a particular privacy campaign of a plurality of privacy campaigns, the method comprising:
- providing, by one or more processors, a software plug-in for installation on a computing device;
- receiving, by one or more processors, via the software plug-in, a request to modify campaign data for a particular privacy campaign of a plurality of privacy campaigns to include one or more electronic messages, wherein the campaign data identifies each of:
- a description of the particular privacy campaign;
- one or more types of personal data related to the particular privacy campaign;
- a subject from which the personal data was collected;
- a storage location of the personal data;
- and
- one or more access permissions related to the personal data;
- in response to receiving the request, modifying, by one or more processors, the campaign data for the particular privacy campaign to include the one or more electronic messages;
- and
- associating, in the data structure, the one or more electronic messages with the campaign data.
