Consent Receipt Management System for 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 subjects' rights, such as consent tracking and data access requests.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented data processing method and system for managing consent receipts, which includes generating unique consent receipt keys, storing and associating subject identifiers, transaction identifiers, and capturing user interfaces to transmit consent records, and a data model generation system that maps relationships between data assets to facilitate compliance with privacy regulations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If organizations implement manual consent tracking methods, then implementation complexity is reduced, but consent management reliability and compliance capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a consent receipt management system as an intermediary between data subjects and data controllers. This system automatically generates consent receipts with unique identifiers, timestamps, and consent terms, storing them in a centralized registry. The intermediary automates consent tracking, generation, and verification processes, ensuring reliable and compliant consent management without requiring complex manual procedures at the organizational level.
2Reliability
If comprehensive consent tracking is implemented, then compliance with privacy regulations is improved, but system complexity and operational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating consent receipts at the moment consent is obtained, rather than requiring retrospective tracking. The consent receipt includes all necessary elements (unique identifier, timestamp, consent terms, data subject information) pre-formatted and stored in the registry. This preliminary automation of consent documentation simplifies subsequent compliance verification and reduces operational burden.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback mechanisms through the centralized registry that automatically stores and retrieves consent receipts. When compliance verification is needed, the system can quickly retrieve relevant consent records using unique identifiers, providing immediate feedback on consent status. This automated feedback loop enhances compliance capability without requiring complex manual verification processes.
3Reliability
If detailed consent records are stored and transmitted, then data subject rights protection is improved, but data security risks and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The consent receipt system segments personal data protection into distinct components: the consent receipt itself (with unique identifier and timestamp), the consent terms, and the data subject information. Each consent receipt is stored as a separate record in the centralized registry, associated with specific processing activities. This segmentation allows for precise tracking and protection of consent-related data without requiring storage of all personal data, reducing security risks while maintaining rights protection.

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.
