Privacy Management for Subscriber Data
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for privacy management comprise maintaining a database of subscriber data and subscriber consent rules associated with the subscriber data, receiving a consent request for selected subscriber data, determining a consent rule associated with the selected subscriber data, wherein the consent rule is determined based on user-type criteria, and transmitting a parameter associated with the selected subscriber data if the consent rule is satisfied.
1 . A method comprising:
at a processor communicatively coupled to a digital data storage, maintaining a database of subscriber data and subscriber consent rules associated with the subscriber data;
receiving, via an application programming interface communicatively coupled to the processor, a consent request for selected subscriber data;
determining, by the processor in cooperation with the digital data storage, a consent rule associated with the selected subscriber data, wherein the consent rule is determined based on user-type criteria; and
transmitting by the processor in cooperation with the digital data storage, a parameter associated with the selected subscriber data if the consent rule is satisfied.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a plurality of consent rules associated with the selected subscriber data; and
transmitting a parameter associated with the selected subscriber data if each of the plurality of consent rules is satisfied.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the consent request is received from one of an enterprise application, Web-based application or mobile application.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user-type criteria is based on an identity or location of a requesting entity or a target entity.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a hierarchy level associated with the consent request based on an identity of a requesting entity or a target entity.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising allowing subscriber management access for a consent rule based on the hierarchy level.
7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising determining an access level for the selected subscriber data based on the hierarchy level.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the consent rule is based on at least one of application, group, temporal or frequency-based criteria.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the consent rule is enforceable for a particular operation of a consent request.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the consent rule is satisfied by a subscriber opt-in response.
11 . A privacy management apparatus comprising:
an application programming interface configured to receive a consent request for selected subscriber data; and
a processor configured to:
maintain a database of subscriber data and subscriber consent rules associated with the subscriber data;
determine a consent rule associated with the selected subscriber data, wherein the consent rule is determined based on user-type criteria; and
transmit a parameter associated with the selected subscriber data if the consent rule is satisfied.
12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine a plurality of consent rules associated with the selected subscriber data; and
transmit a parameter associated with the selected subscriber data if each of the plurality of consent rules is satisfied.
13 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the consent request is received from one of an enterprise application, Web-based application or mobile application.
14 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the user-type criteria is based on an identity or location of a requesting entity or a target entity.
15 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a hierarchy level associated with the consent request based on an identity of a requesting entity or a target entity.
16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to allow subscriber management access for a consent rule based on the hierarchy level.
17 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine an access level for the selected subscriber data based on the hierarchy level.
18 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the consent rule is based on at least one of application, group, temporal or frequency-based criteria.
19 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the consent rule is enforceable for a particular operation of a consent request.
20 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the consent rule is satisfied by a subscriber opt-in response.
21 . An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, that in response to execution by a computing device causes the computing device to perform operations comprising:
at a processor communicatively coupled to a digital data storage, maintaining a database of subscriber data and subscriber consent rules associated with the subscriber data;
receiving, via an application programming interface communicatively coupled to the processor, a consent request for selected subscriber data;
determining, by the processor in cooperation with the digital data storage, a consent rule associated with the selected subscriber data, wherein the consent rule is determined based on user-type criteria; and
transmitting by the processor in cooperation with the digital data storage, a parameter associated with the selected subscriber data if the consent rule is satisfied.
