Abstract

The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for tracing data. A disclosed tracing system can receive a request to access original data. The request can be associated with access request metadata. The tracing system can generate a tracer based at least in part on the access request metadata and can generate an altered version of the first data by inserting the tracer into the original data. The tracing system can update a database or log file associated with the first data to include association information based on the access request metadata. The tracing system can then provide the altered version of the first data in response to the request.
