Abstract
Systems, methods, and software for data privacy annotation frameworks for user applications are provided herein. An exemplary method includes identifying content elements among user content in a user data file that contain sensitive data corresponding to one or more predetermined data schemes. During a content edit process for the user content in a user application, the method includes controlling presentation of annotation indicators for one or more of the content elements based at least in part on a quantity of the content elements that contain the sensitive data.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- identifying content elements among user content in a user data file that contain sensitive data corresponding to one or more predetermined data schemes;
- and
- controlling presentation of annotation indicators for one or more of the content elements based at least in part on changes in a quantity of the content elements in the user data file that contain the sensitive data resultant from a content edit process for the user content in a user application.
A data privacy handler for a user application, comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- a processing system operatively coupled with the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media that, based at least on being read and executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
- identify content elements among user content in a user data file that contain sensitive data corresponding to one or more predetermined data schemes;
- and
- control presentation of annotation indicators for one or more of the content elements based at least in part on changes in a quantity of the content elements in the user data file that contain the sensitive data resultant from a content edit process for the user content in the user application.
A method, comprising:
- monitoring user content in a user data file presented for content editing in a user interface to a user application to identify a quantity of content elements containing sensitive data among the user content corresponding to one or more predetermined data schemes;
- enabling presentation of annotations in the user interface for one or more of the content elements based at least in part on the content editing performed in the user application increasing a quantity of the content elements in the user data file that contain the sensitive data;
- and
- disabling the presentation of the annotations in the user interface for at least the one or more of the content elements based at least in part on the content editing performed in the user application decreasing the quantity of the content elements in the user data file that contain the sensitive data.
