Personalized privacy assistant

A system for configuring privacy settings for IoT resources, the system comprising:

• a first IoT resource;
• a computing device of a user, wherein the computing device comprises a processor that executes a personal privacy assistant app that:
• receives data about the first IoT resource;
• and
• configures user-specific privacy settings for the first IoT resource based on the data received about the first IoT resource and based on a privacy preference model for the user accessible by the personal privacy assistant;
• and
• a first IoT resource registry that advertises the data about the first IoT resource to the computing device of the user;
• and
• wherein the personal privacy assistant app discovers the IoT resource registry based on a location of the computing device and based on a wireless message received from the IoT resource registry and wherein the wireless message comprises a URL for the personal privacy assistant to reach entries in the IoT resource registry for the first IoT resource.

• a first IoT resource registry that advertises the data about the first IoT resource to the computing device of the user;
• and
• an IoT resource registry directory, wherein the personal privacy assistant receives a list of IoT resource registries from the IoT resource registry directory based on a location of the computing device, wherein the list of IoT resource registries comprises at least the first IoT resource registry.

A method for configuring user-specific privacy settings for IoT resources, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device of a user, data about a first IoT resource;
• configuring, by a personal privacy assistant app running on the computing device, user-specific privacy settings for the first IoT resource based the data about the first IoT resource and based on a privacy preference model for the user;
• wherein receiving the data about first IoT resource comprises receiving, by the computing device, that data about the first IoT resource from an IoT resource registry, wherein the IoT resource registry advertises the data about the first IoT resource;
• and
• discovering, by the personal privacy assistant app, the IoT resource registry based on a location of the computing device, wherein the personal privacy assistant app discovers the IoT resource registry based on a wireless message received from the IoT resource registry, and wherein the wireless message comprises a URL for the personal privacy assistant app to reach the IoT resource registry.
