PRIVACY DATA MANAGEMENT IN DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17542017 titled 'PRIVACY DATA MANAGEMENT IN DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for managing privacy data in a distributed computing system. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves receiving a request from a data consumer for privacy information of data stored as data objects.
  • The data objects are structured according to a data schema, which includes a property value representing user information and an annotation containing a privacy classification of the property value.
  • The method inspects the data schema to identify the privacy classification of the property.
  • The identified privacy classification is transmitted to the data consumer, allowing them to configure an application to process the property value according to organizational, legal, or regulatory requirements in different jurisdictions.

Potential Applications

  • Data privacy management in distributed computing systems
  • Compliance with privacy regulations in different jurisdictions
  • Customizing data processing applications based on privacy classifications

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring privacy of user information in distributed computing systems
  • Adhering to privacy regulations and requirements in different jurisdictions
  • Providing a standardized method for transmitting privacy classifications to data consumers

Benefits

  • Improved privacy protection for user information
  • Enhanced compliance with privacy regulations
  • Flexibility in configuring data processing applications based on privacy requirements


Original Abstract Submitted

Computing systems, devices, and associated methods of privacy data management in a distributed computing system are disclosed herein. In one example, a method includes receiving a request from a data consumer for privacy information of data stored as data objects. The data objects are logically structured according to a data schema defining a property containing a property value representing user information and an annotation to the property containing a privacy classification of the property value of the property. The method also includes inspecting the data schema of the data objects to identify the privacy classification of the property and transmitting the identified privacy classification to the data consumer to allow the data consumer to configure an application to process the property value of the property in the data objects according to an organizational, legal, or regulatory processing requirement in one or more jurisdictions.
