Abstract

Various embodiments provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for identifying targeted data for a data subject across a plurality of data objects in a data source. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: receiving a request to identify targeted data for a data subject; identifying a first data object using metadata for a data source that identifies the first data object as associated with a first targeted data type for a data portion from the request; identifying a first data field from a graph data structure of the first data object that identifies the first data field as used for storing data having the first targeted data type; and querying the first data object based on the first data field and the data for the first targeted data type to identify a first targeted data portion for the data subject.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by computing hardware, a request to identify targeted data for a data subject;
identifying, by the computing hardware, a first data object from a plurality of data objects using metadata for a data source, wherein the metadata identifies the first data object as associated with a first targeted data type for a data portion from the request;
identifying, by the computing hardware, a first data field from a graph data structure of the first data object, wherein the graph data structure of the first data object identifies the first data field as used for storing data having the first targeted data type;
querying, by the computing hardware, the first data object based on the first data field and the data for the first targeted data type to identify a first targeted data portion for the data subject;
determining, by the computing hardware, the first targeted data portion is associated with a second targeted data type;
identifying, by the computing hardware, a second data object from the plurality of data objects using the metadata for the data source, wherein the metadata identifies the second data object as associated with the second targeted data type;
identifying, by the computing hardware, a second data field from a graph data structure of the second data object, wherein the graph data structure of the second data object identifies the second data field as used for storing data in the second data object having the second targeted data type;
querying, by the computing hardware, the second data object based on the second data field and the first targeted data portion associated with the second targeted data type to identify a second targeted data portion for the data subject;
and
performing a targeted data action based on the first targeted data portion or the second targeted data portion.

7 more elements

A 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:
receiving a request to identify targeted data for a data subject, wherein the request comprises a data portion associated with a first targeted data type;
and
responsive to receiving the request to identify the targeted data for the data subject:
identifying a first data object from a plurality of data objects using metadata for a data source, wherein the metadata identifies the first data object as associated with the first targeted data type;
identifying a first data field used for storing data in the first data object associated with the first targeted data type;
identifying a first targeted data portion stored in the first data object based on the first data field and the data for the first targeted data type;
identifying the first targeted data portion is associated with a second targeted data type;
identifying a second data object from the plurality of data objects using the metadata for the data source, wherein the metadata identifies the second data object as associated with the second targeted data type;
identifying a second data field used for storing data in the second data object associated with the second targeted data type;
identifying a second targeted data portion based on the second data field and the first targeted data portion;
and
causing performance of a targeted data action based on at least one of the first targeted data portion or the second targeted data portion.

13 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code that is stored thereon, the program code executable by one or more processing devices for performing operations comprising:

identifying a first data object from a plurality of data objects for a data source, wherein the first data object is associated with a first targeted data type associated with a data portion received in a request to identify targeted data for a data subject;
identifying a first targeted data portion stored in the first data object;
identifying the first targeted data portion is associated with a second targeted data type;
identifying a second data object from the plurality of data objects for the data source, wherein the second data object is associated with the second targeted data type;
identifying a second targeted data portion stored in the second data object;
and
causing performance of a targeted data action based on at least one of the first targeted data portion or the second targeted data portion.
