Abstract
A system and methods for facilitating privacy enforcement are described. Embodiments of the present invention can deliver automated compliance and/or enforcement for certain consumer privacy laws and privacy-related policies to employees and contractors of an enterprise. When input related to the use of stored customer information is received, data subsystems can be accessed by a privacy engine, which then provides decisioning to produce an enforcement action. Examples of enforcement actions can include denying access to customer information, or granting such access but filtering the information. Enforcement actions can also include updating stored tables or other data structures to maintain an appropriate privacy enforcement posture when new information is added to systems or existing information is changed.
