Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by computing hardware associated with an entity, a data subject access request associated with a data subject;
responsive to receiving the data subject access request, determining, by the computing hardware and based on the data subject access request, a data source from which data associated with the data subject is to be acquired, wherein the data source is not operated by the entity;
retrieving, by the computing hardware using metadata, a credential used for accessing the data source from data storage associated with the entity, wherein the metadata maps the credential to the data source;
acquiring, by the computing hardware using the credential, the data associated with the data subject from the data storage;
processing, by the computing hardware, the data subject access request using the data associated with the data subject from the data storage; and
subsequent to processing the data subject access request:
identifying, by the computing hardware, that the credential is invalid; and
responsive to determining that the credential is invalid, deleting, by the computing hardware, the credential from the data storage and the metadata mapping the credential to the data source to prevent the computing hardware from acquiring further data from the data source.
