Automated data processing systems and methods for automatically processing requests for privacy-related information

A computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for:

• receiving a data subject access request that requests data regarding a particular data subject, the data subject access request comprising a request to execute at least one action selected from a group consisting of:
• (a) deleting personal data of the data subject;
• (b) modifying personal data of the data subject;
• and
• (c) providing information regarding the use, by a particular entity, of the data subject's personal data;
• at least partially in response to receiving the data subject access request, determining whether the data subject access request was initiated was initiated robotically;
• in response to determining that the data subject access request was initiated robotically, preventing fulfillment of the robotically-generated data subject access request;
• and
• at least partially in response to determining that the data subject access request was initiated by a human, automatically facilitating the fulfillment of the data subject access request.

A computer system for processing data subject access requests, the system comprising:

• at least one computer processor;
• and
• computer memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one computer processor, are operable for:
• receiving, by the at least one computer processor, a data subject access request that requests data regarding a particular data subject, the data subject access request comprising a request to execute at least one action selected from a group consisting of:
• (a) deleting personal data of the data subject;
• (b) modifying personal data of the data subject;
• and
• (c) providing personal data of the data subject;
• at least partially in response to receiving the data subject access request, determining, by the at least one processor, whether the data subject access request was submitted by an automated source;
• in response to determining that the data subject access request was submitted by an automated source, automatically taking at least one action, by the at least one computer processor, to block a successful submission of the data subject access request by the automated source and to instead have the data subject access request resubmitted by a human source;
• and
• at least partially in response to determining that the data subject access request was submitted by a human, automatically facilitating the fulfillment of the data subject access request.
