Consent user interface validity determination system and method
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11868507B2) outlines a method and system for determining a data subject's consent parameter based on their geo-location while interacting with a website. The method involves computing hardware identifying the geo-location of the data subject and using a website parameter associated with the website to establish the consent required from the data subject to process their information. If the data subject does not provide the necessary consent, an application programming interface call is triggered to cease processing the data subject information. The system includes a processing device that executes instructions to determine the data subject's consent parameter, generate a consent receipt if consent is not provided, and transmit it to the data subject.
Furthermore, the patent describes additional operations such as scanning the website to identify website cookies, determining the type of data subject information captured by the cookies, and associating the data subject consent parameter with privacy laws based on the geo-location. The system also tracks interactions on the website, such as scrolling to the end of a webpage or selecting a consent button, to determine if the data subject has provided the required consent. The non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions for computing hardware to perform operations related to determining consent parameters based on interface categories, providing information and prompts for consent, and tracking interactions to ensure consent is obtained before processing data subject information.
