Abstract

An automated process blocking system may be configured to automatically block one or more processes based on received user consent data. For example, a particular data subject may provide consent for an entity to process particular data associated with the data subject for one or more particular purposes. The system may be configured to: (1) determine that one or more entity systems are processing one or more pieces of personal data associated with a data subject; (2) identify at least one process for which the one or more pieces of personal data are being processed; (3) determine, using a consent receipt management system, whether the data subject has provided consent for the processing of the one or more pieces of personal data for the at least one process; and (4) in response to determining that the data subject has not provided valid consent, automatically blocking the processing.
