Various embodiments provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for identifying targeted data for a data subject across a plurality of data objects in a data source. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: receiving a request to identify targeted data for a data subject; identifying a first data object using metadata for a data source that identifies the first data object as associated with a first targeted data type for a data portion from the request; identifying a first data field from a graph data structure of the first data object that identifies the first data field as used for storing data having the first targeted data type; and querying the first data object based on the first data field and the data for the first targeted data type to identify a first targeted data portion for the data subject.
