Consent Receipt Management System for Data Privacy Compliance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack effective methods for managing personal data consent and compliance with privacy and security policies, particularly in handling sensitive personal data and ensuring data subject access rights.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented data processing method and system for managing consent receipts, which includes generating a unique consent receipt key, storing and associating it with a data subject's identifier and transaction ID, and transmitting a consent receipt, along with a data inventory generation system to track and manage personal data processing activities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a consent receipt management system is implemented to track and manage personal data consent, then data privacy management and compliance with legal standards are improved, but system complexity and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a consent receipt management system that acts as an intermediary between data subjects and organizations processing personal data. The system generates and manages consent receipts that serve as formal records of consent, mediating the consent-giving process and providing verifiable proof of compliance without requiring direct complex interactions between all parties involved.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by generating consent receipts that provide immediate confirmation to data subjects about their consent status. The system also provides feedback to organizations about the validity and status of consents, enabling them to verify compliance requirements and manage data processing activities accordingly.
2Reliability
If detailed consent tracking and management mechanisms are implemented, then compliance with data subject access rights is improved, but operational complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The consent receipt management system enables data subjects to self-serve by providing them with direct access to their consent receipts and the ability to view, verify, and manage their consent status. This self-service capability reduces the operational burden on organizations while ensuring data subjects can exercise their access rights independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and manages digital copies of consent information in the form of consent receipts. These receipts serve as verifiable copies that can be stored, transmitted, and verified without requiring access to the original complex consent management infrastructure, simplifying verification processes for all parties.
3Loss of information
If a comprehensive data inventory generation system is implemented to track personal data processing activities, then transparency and accountability are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The data inventory generation system segments the complex task of tracking personal data processing into manageable components. It divides the inventory into specific categories such as data types, processing purposes, retention periods, and security measures, making the comprehensive tracking system more structured and easier to implement and maintain.

AI summary
A consent receipt management system may, for example, be configured to track data on behalf of an entity that collects and/or processes persona data related to: (1) who consented to the processing or collection of personal data; (2) when the consent was given (e.g., a date and time); (3) what information was provided to the consenter at the time of consent (e.g., a privacy policy, what personal data would be collected following the provision of the consent, for what purpose that personal data would be collected, etc.); (4) how consent was received (e.g., one or more copies of a data capture form, webform, etc. via which consent was provided by the consenter); (5) when consent was withdrawn (e.g., a date and time of consent withdrawal if the consenter withdraws consent); and/or (6) any other suitable data related to receipt or withdrawal of consent.
