Data processing systems for calculating and communicating cost of fulfilling data subject access requests and related methods

A computer-implemented data processing method for processing and executing one or more steps related to fulfillment of a data subject access request, the method comprising:

• receiving a data subject access request from a requestor comprising one or more request parameters;
• processing the data subject access request by validating an identity of the requestor;
• assigning the data subject access request to at least one privacy team;
• identifying one or more information technology (IT) teams associated with the at least one privacy team required to fulfill the data subject access request based at least in part on the one or more request parameters;
• calculating a resource usage rate required for the one or more IT teams to fulfill the data subject access request, wherein the resource usage rate is determined based in part on an amount of the one or more IT teams' computer system resource infrastructure that is required to fulfill the data subject access request;
• calculating an effective cost of fulfilling the data subject access request based at least in part on the resource usage rate and a charge rate associated with the resource usage rate;
• and
• digitally storing the effective cost as a total cost of fulfilling the data subject access request in computer memory.

A computer-implemented data processing method for processing and executing one or more steps related to fulfillment of a data subject access request, the method comprising:

• receiving a data subject access request from a requestor comprising one or more request parameters;
• processing the data subject access request;
• fulfilling the data subject access request by identifying the one or more pieces of personal data associated with the data subject, wherein:
• identifying the one or more pieces of personal data associated with the data subject comprises scanning one or more data inventories stored within the data system for the one or more pieces of personal data;
• calculating a resource usage rate required by the data system to fulfill the data subject access request, wherein the resource usage rate is determined based in part on an amount of the data system's resource infrastructure that is required to fulfill the data subject access request;
• calculating a total cost of fulfilling the data subject access request based at least in part on the resource usage rate and a charge rate associated with the resource usage rate;
• digitally storing the total cost in computer memory;
• generating a data subject access request invoice for the total cost associated with the data subject access request;
• and
• providing the data subject access request to one or more recipients selected from a group consisting of the requestor and a third party associated with the requestor.
