Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for verifying the identity of a data subject. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: receiving, via a browser, a consumer rights request for a data subject for performing an action with regard to personal data associated with the data subject; detecting a state of the browser indicating a location; identifying a law based on the location; determining a level of identity verification required based on the law; generating, based on the level, a GUI by configuring a first prompt on the GUI configured for receiving input for a first type of identity verification; transmitting an instruction to present the GUI; receiving the input for the first type of identity verification; verifying the identity of the data subject based on the input; and responsive to verifying the identity, causing performance of the action.

Data processing systems for identity validation for consumer rights requests and related methods

In various embodiments, before a data subject request can be processed, the data subject's identity may need to be verified. In various embodiments, the system provides a mechanism to automatically detect the type of authentication required for a particular data subject based on the type of Data Subject Access Request being made and automatically issues a request to the data subject to verify their identity against that form of identification. For example, a subject rights request might only require two types of authentication, but a deletion request may require four types of data to verify authentication. The system may automatically detect which is type of authentication is required based on the DSAR and send an appropriate request to the data subject to verify their identity.
