Technical Documentation and API Q&A for Personal Information Protection Compliance: Citation Sources and Traceability

Data for this category originates from business systems, App permission lists, privacy policies, and user request records. Updates are triggered

What data in this category consists of

Data for this category originates from business systems, App permission lists, privacy policies, and user request records. Updates are triggered either quarterly or whenever product functions are modified. Daily generated documents include personal information lists, processing rules, impact assessment reports, and user authorization texts. Core fields include information type, processing purpose, legal basis, storage duration, and other relevant fields. Different document types have distinct formats, so citations must use corresponding fields matched to the document type.

What constraints do these characteristics impose on citation sources and traceability

Dispersed data sources require association across multiple systems and document types to complete traceability, creating high requirements for citation scope precision. Update cycles are inconsistent, so regular synchronization of the latest compliance document versions is necessary to avoid compliance risks from citing outdated content. There is no unified document structure, so matching corresponding fields for different document types increases the difficulty of accurately locating citation snippets. Additionally, errors in this category lead to complaints or administrative penalties. Traceability results must be accurate and traceable; vague or incorrect citation sources are not acceptable.

How to configure settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale

Three common configuration errors

  • Citation results include non-compliance document content. This occurs when the citation scope of responseData is not restricted, leading to the inclusion of unrelated data sources.
  • Compliance fields are truncated and cannot be fully displayed. This occurs when quoteMaxToken is set too low, failing to match the length of core compliance document snippets.
  • Workflow calls only support uploading compliance documents via external links, and cannot associate documents bound to local variables. This occurs when binding rules between citation sources and workflow parameters are not configured correctly.

How to confirm proper configuration

  • View citation logs in the FastGPT v4.17.0 console, confirm that each citation result includes document ID and update time identifiers.
  • Trigger a simulated product function change, check whether the cited content of compliance documents is updated to the latest version.
  • Adjust the value of quoteMaxToken, verify that the length of citation snippets changes with the configuration.
  • Run a simulated call for compliance scenarios, confirm that only core fields of compliance documents are returned, with no unrelated data included.
