Systems and methods for mediating permissions

A permission mediating system, comprising:

• a permission monitor, wherein the permission monitor includes at least one selected from a group consisting of a network traffic sniffer, a browser extension associated with a web application, and a tracker on a client device, and is configured to:
• request a permission from a user of the client device to monitor data communications for permissions requests and permissions responses;
• monitor the permissions requests and the permissions responses communicated between the client device and one or more applications;
• ignore data communications unrelated to the permissions requests and the permission responses;
• and
• update a database with the communicated permissions requests and permissions responses;
• a predictive model, wherein the predictive model is capable of predicting a default permission response to a future or current permission request based on the communicated permissions requests and permissions responses;
• and
• a permissions manager, wherein the permission manager is configured to:
• train the predictive model with a target and the communicated permissions requests and permissions responses, the target being a target variable in predictive analytics;
• and
• provide the default permission response to the future or current permission request using the predictive model.

A method, comprising:

• requesting, by a permission monitor, a permission from a user of a client device to monitor data communications for permissions requests and permissions responses, wherein the permission monitor includes at least one selected from a group consisting of a network traffic sniffer, a browser extension associated with a web application, and a tracker on the client device;
• monitoring, by the permission monitor, the permissions requests and the permissions responses communicated between the client device and one or more applications;
• ignoring, by the permission monitor, data communications unrelated to the permissions requests and the permission responses;
• updating, by the permission monitor, a database with the communicated permissions requests and permissions responses;
• training, by a permissions manager, a predictive model with a target and the communicated permissions requests and permissions responses, wherein the target is a target variable in predictive analytics, and the predictive model is capable of predicting a default permission response to a future or current permission request based on the communicated permissions requests and permissions responses;
• and
• providing, by the permissions manager, the default permission response to the future or current permission request using the predictive model.

A permission mediating system, comprising:

• a memory containing a predictive model, the predictive model being capable of predicting a default permission response;
• a database storing permission requests and permission responses in data communications between a client device and an application;
• a permissions monitor configured to:
• request a permission from a user of the client device to monitor data communications for the permissions requests and the permissions responses,
• monitor the permissions requests and the permissions responses communicated between the client device and the application, and
• ignore data communications unrelated to the permissions requests and the permission responses;
• and
• a permissions monitor configured to:
• select a seed model for training the predictive model based on a location associated with the client device,
• train the predictive model using the seed model, the permissions requests, and the permissions responses stored in the database, and
• provide the default permission response using the predictive model.
