Consent Receipt Management System for Privacy Compliance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack effective methods for managing consent and personal data processing, leading to inadequate compliance with privacy and security policies, particularly in handling sensitive personal data and ensuring valid consent from data subjects.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented data processing method and system that generates a unique consent receipt key, associates it with a data subject's identifier and transaction ID, and transmits a consent receipt, enabling transparent and compliant data processing by ensuring valid consent is obtained and recorded.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a consent receipt management system is implemented to document and manage valid consent, then data privacy compliance is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a consent receipt management system that acts as an intermediary between data subjects and organizations processing personal data. This system generates and manages consent receipts that document valid consent, serving as a mediator that simplifies compliance verification while maintaining reliable records of data subject authorization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating consent receipts at the time consent is obtained, rather than requiring complex verification processes later. The consent receipt is created and stored in advance, containing all necessary information to prove valid consent, which simplifies subsequent compliance checks and reduces system complexity during data processing operations.
2Loss of information
If consent receipts are generated and transmitted to data subjects, then transparency and compliance are improved, but processing time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a digital copy of the consent information in the form of a consent receipt, which is then transmitted to the data subject. This electronic copy contains all essential consent documentation, eliminating the need for complex physical record-keeping and verification processes, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining complete documentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The consent receipt transforms consent documentation from a complex multi-step verification process into a standardized digital format with specific parameters (unique consent receipt key, data subject identifier, purpose of processing). This parameterization allows for efficient processing and automatic verification, reducing operational complexity and processing time.
3Measurement precision
If unique consent receipt keys are generated and associated with multiple identifiers, then consent tracking accuracy is improved, but data management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The consent tracking system is segmented into distinct modular components: unique consent receipt keys, data subject identifiers, purpose identifiers, and processing records. Each component serves a specific function and can be managed independently, which reduces overall data management complexity while maintaining high tracking accuracy through systematic association of these segmented elements.

AI summary
In particular embodiments, a data processing consent management system may be configured to utilize one or more age verification techniques to at least partially authenticate the data subject's ability to provide valid consent (e.g., under one or more prevailing legal requirements). For example, according to one or more particular legal or industry requirements, an individual (e.g., data subject) may need to be at least a particular age (e.g., an age of majority, an adult, over 18, over 21, etc.) in order to provide valid consent. Consent receipt management systems may be implemented in the context of any suitable privacy management system that is configured to ensure compliance with one or more legal or industry standards related to the collection and/or storage of private information. In particular embodiments, the system is configured to manage one or more consent receipts between a data subject and an entity.
