System and method for protecting identifiable user data

A system for protecting user data, comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to:
• detect one or more user files, created by a user, that are on a user device;
• generate (1) user transactional data associated with one or more detected network-based interactions with a service provider by the user, and (2) user behavior data based on one or more user interactions with a graphical user interface of the user device by the user;
• generate a user classification using a machine learning model that classifies the user based on the one or more user files, the user transactional data, and the user behavior data;
• and
• when the user is identifiable based on the user classification, modify at least one of (1) the one or more user files stored on the user device and (2) user behavior of the user during an operation of the user device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing thereon computer executable instructions for protecting user data, including instructions for:

• detecting one or more user files, created by a user, that are on a user device;
• generating (1) user transactional data associated with one or more detected network-based interactions with a service provider by the user, and (2) user behavior data based on one or more user interactions with a graphical user interface of the user device by the user;
• generating a user classification using a machine learning model that classifies the user based on the one or more user files, the user transactional data, and the user behavior data;
• and
• when the user is identifiable based on the user classification, modifying at least one of (1) the one or more user files stored on the user device and (2) user behavior of the user during an operation of the user device.
