Abstract
Systems and methods electronically tag received data associated with an entity with an electronic tag including an identifier uniquely associated with the entity. The system may electronically store the received data such that the received data is identifiable via the electronic tag. Then, when a request for deletion of all the entity's data is made by the particular entity, it is fulfilled with much less effort, namely by searching for elements with that entity's tag. Whenever that data is copied, transformed, or derivative data is made, the system copies the electronic tag with it. Thus, even when the data is copied or modified, it can be more efficiently identified as being associated with the particular entity. In some embodiments, the tagging includes electronically recording an association of the electronic tag with the received data as a transaction on a blockchain, the transaction on the blockchain being associated with the electronic tag and with the received data.
