Selective regulation of information transmission from mobile applications to third-party privacy compliant target systems

摘要

Selective regulation of information transmission from mobile applications to a third-party privacy compliant target system. A privacy policy is configured for and mapped to each of a multiplicity of mobile application concerns, with each privacy policy comprising rules regulating the transmission of information to a third-party privacy compliant target system. Instrumentation instructions can be integrated with a mobile application and provided to a mobile device. The instrumentation instructions direct the mobile application to submit a privacy policy request comprising a mobile application identifier from the mobile device to a third-party privacy compliance system and enable sending information from the mobile device to the third-party privacy compliant target system, subject to the privacy policy. The privacy policy request is received at the third-party privacy compliance system which selects the privacy policy based on an application identifier and sends the privacy policy to the mobile device for implementation.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for selectively regulating transmission of information from a mobile device to a partner system by a third-party privacy compliance system, the method comprising:
associating a respective privacy policy and a respective identifier with each of a plurality of operating system installation cohorts, each operating system installation cohort representing a plurality of mobile devices, each privacy policy comprising a rule for regulating transmission of information from the mobile device to the partner system; providing instrumentation instructions for integration with an operating system and operation by the mobile device, wherein the instrumentation instructions comprise instructions for:
requesting a privacy policy from the third-party privacy compliance system, the privacy policy request comprising the respective identifier of the mobile device's operating system installation cohort;receiving the privacy policy from the third-party privacy compliance system;identifying information in compliance with the received privacy policy; andsending the identified information to the partner system; receiving the privacy policy request at the third-party privacy compliance system from the mobile device; selecting, at the third-party privacy compliance system, the privacy policy associated with the mobile device's operating system installation cohort; and sending the selected privacy policy to the mobile device.
