Systems and Methods for Context-Based Permissioning of Personally Identifiable Information

A method for providing access to personal information of a user, comprising:

• at a server system including one or more electronic devices with one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors:
• establishing a plurality of context profiles for a user, wherein:
• at least a first context profile of the plurality of context profiles, when active, is configured to operate in one of two or more modes that includes a normal mode and at least one expanded permission mode,
• an active context profile of the plurality of context profiles corresponds to a current context of a user device,
• an active mode of the active context profile is the normal mode or a respective expanded permission mode of the at least one expanded permission mode, and
• the first context profile of the plurality of context profiles includes a first set of one or more permissions identifying a first set of third parties with which the personal information of the user can be shared when the first context profile is active;
• in accordance with a determination that the active context profile for the user device is the first context profile and the active mode of the user device is the normal mode of the first context profile, sharing personal information of the user with the first set of third parties;
• detecting a mode-switching event that changes the active mode of the user device from the normal mode of the first context profile to the expanded permission mode of the first context profile, wherein the mode-switching event is detected automatically without user input;
• and
• in response to detecting the mode-switching event, performing a permission expansion for the first context profile that includes sharing the personal information of the user with a first expanded set of third parties that includes the first set of third parties and at least one additional third party.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more electronic devices, cause the one or more devices to:

• establish a plurality of context profiles for a user, wherein:
• at least a first context profile of the plurality of context profiles, when active, is configured to operate in one of two or more modes that includes a normal mode and at least one expanded permission mode,
• an active context profile of the plurality of context profiles corresponds to a current context of a user device,
• an active mode of the active context profile is the normal mode or a respective expanded permission mode of the at least one expanded permission mode, and
• the first context profile of the plurality of context profiles includes a first set of one or more permissions identifying a first set of third parties with which the personal information of the user can be shared when the first context profile is active;
• in accordance with a determination that the active context profile for the user device is the first context profile and the active mode of the user device is the normal mode of the first context profile, sharing personal information of the user with the first set of third parties;
• detecting a mode-switching event that changes the active mode of the user device from the normal mode of the first context profile to the expanded permission mode of the first context profile, wherein the mode-switching event is detected automatically without user input;
• and
• in response to detecting the mode-switching event, performing a permission expansion for the first context profile that includes sharing the personal information of the user with a first expanded set of third parties that includes the first set of third parties and at least one additional third party.

A server system including one or more electronic devices with one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

• establishing a plurality of context profiles for a user, wherein:
• at least a first context profile of the plurality of context profiles, when active, is configured to operate in one of two or more modes that includes a normal mode and at least one expanded permission mode,
• an active context profile of the plurality of context profiles corresponds to a current context of a user device,
• an active mode of the active context profile is the normal mode or a respective expanded permission mode of the at least one expanded permission mode, and
• the first context profile of the plurality of context profiles includes a first set of one or more permissions identifying a first set of third parties with which the personal information of the user can be shared when the first context profile is active;
• in accordance with a determination that the active context profile for the user device is the first context profile and the active mode of the user device is the normal mode of the first context profile, sharing personal information of the user with the first set of third parties;
• detecting a mode-switching event that changes the active mode of the user device from the normal mode of the first context profile to the expanded permission mode of the first context profile, wherein the mode-switching event is detected automatically without user input;
• and
• in response to detecting the mode-switching event, performing a permission expansion for the first context profile that includes sharing the personal information of the user with a first expanded set of third parties that includes the first set of third parties and at least one additional third party.
