Technical Documentation and API Q&A for Personal Information Protection Compliance: Knowledge Base Retrieval and Recall

What data in this category looks like

Data for this category comes from business systems, App permission lists, privacy policies, and user request records. Daily documents include personal information inventories, processing rules, impact assessment reports, and user authorization texts. Each document focuses on personal information processing for a specific product or business scenario, and includes core fields such as processing purpose, storage period, and receiving entities. Update frequency follows a quarterly schedule, or is synchronized each time a product function is changed. All data is generated around personal information processing links that can identify natural persons.

What constraints do these characteristics impose on knowledge base retrieval and recall

The update rhythm of data in this category is strongly tied to product changes, and all content revolves around personal information processing that can identify natural persons. This creates multiple constraints for retrieval and recall. First, data updates must be synchronized with product function changes. The recall link must support incremental synchronization configuration to prevent expired personal information processing rules from being retrieved. Second, the range of document types is wide: from itemized personal information inventories to long-text impact assessment reports. The retrieval mode must adapt to documents with different structures. Third, the data involves compliance-sensitive content. Retrieval results must be strictly linked to compliance scenarios to avoid returning irrelevant or incorrect compliance information that affects audit efficiency.

How to set configurations

This document is written based on FastGPT v4.17.0. The following are configuration recommendations for this category:

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
similarity0.85–0.92Matches the semantic association strength of compliance documents in this category, filters low-relevance non-compliance content
limitTop 8 entriesControls the number of results returned in a single recall, avoiding excessive entries that increase compliance audit burden
searchModesemantic + fulltextAdapts to the document structure of this category, which includes both itemized inventories and long-text reports
usingReRankEnabledImproves retrieval ranking accuracy for long-text compliance reports, filters results with inflated semantic scores
datasetSearchUsingExtensionQueryEnabledSupplementally expands retrieval keywords related to compliance, covering all scenarios of personal information processing
collectionIdsSpecify a dedicated collection for compliance documentsIsolates compliance data from other business data, preventing irrelevant content from being recalled

Three common mistakes

  • Phenomenon: The interface displays "No matching results found" or the knowledge base has no synchronized data. Cause: collectionIds is not correctly configured to point to the dedicated compliance document collection, or the database synchronization task is not triggered quarterly or after product changes.
  • Phenomenon: Retrieval results with a semantic score below 0.9 and unqualified full-text retrieval scores are returned. Cause: No similarity threshold is set, or usingReRank is not enabled, failing to filter low-quality compliance-related results.
  • Phenomenon: The interface continuously displays the "Retrieving" status with no response. Cause: The limit value is set too high, or dual-mode searchMode is enabled at the same time, causing excessive system resource occupation and timeout.

How to confirm configurations are correct

  • Perform a single retrieval test, input "personal information processing rules", and verify that all returned results come from the dedicated compliance document collection.
  • Adjust the similarity threshold, confirm that results below the threshold are not returned, and verify that the filtering logic takes effect.
  • Trigger a data synchronization after a product change, check whether newly added document entries in the knowledge base are correctly recalled.
  • View the system retrieval logs, confirm that the usingReRank and datasetSearchUsingExtensionQuery configuration parameters are loaded normally.
