Method and apparatus for generating privacy profiles

摘要

A privacy processing system may use privacy rules to filter sensitive personal information from web session data. The privacy processing system may generate privacy profiles or privacy metadata that identifies how often the privacy rules are called, how often the privacy rules successfully complete actions, and the processing time required to execute the privacy rules. The privacy profiles may be used to detect irregularities in the privacy filtering process that may be associated with a variety of privacy filtering and web session problems.
