Abstract

Described are methods and systems for using policies to comply with a person's request for data pertaining to the person, pursuant to applicable data privacy laws. A policy is retrieved responsive to receiving a query that includes data to identify records that store data pertaining to the person. The policy indicates first and second database objects, and respective first and second sets of fields, which store data that pertains to persons. The policy is applied. Applying the policy includes retrieving, as first values, data stored in the first set of fields of a first record associated with the data in the query, and retrieving, as second values, data stored in the second set of fields of a second record associated with the first record. The first and second values, and the names of the fields from which they were retrieved, are stored in a document.
