Confidential information concealment

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at an information handling device, an indication to provide output to a user;

identifying that the output comprises confidential information, wherein the confidential information comprises information previously designated as confidential by the user utilizing at least one content tagging technique;

determining, using a processor, that the output may be heard by at least one other individual determined to be present in the user's surroundings;

identifying the at least one other individual present in the user's surrounding, wherein the identifying the at least one other individual comprises utilizing identification data to identify the at least one other individual and determining, utilizing permissions assigned to the at least one other individual by the user, if the at least one other individual is authorized to hear the confidential information; and

altering, responsive to determining, based upon the assigned permissions, the at least one other individual is not authorized to hear the confidential information, the output to conceal the confidential information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is associated with at least one of a user command and a scheduled reminder.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises accessing a stored list comprising a plurality of items of confidential information, and determining that the output comprises at least one item from the plurality of items.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining comprises receiving data associated with the user's surroundings.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the data comprises at least one item of data selected from the group consisting of audio data, visual data, location data, calendar entry data, social media data, and proximate individual data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the altering comprises adjusting a length of the confidential information in the output.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the altering comprises providing the output on an output device personal to the user.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the altering comprises providing the output using a haptic pattern.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising querying the user to determine if an alteration type of the confidential information was appropriate.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising storing, responsive to receiving confirmation input from the user that the alteration type was appropriate, a correlation between the alteration type and the output in a database.

11. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

receive an indication to provide output to a user;

identify that the output comprises confidential information, wherein the confidential information comprises information previously designated as confidential by the user utilizing at least one content tagging technique;

determine that the output may be heard by at least one other individual determined to be present in the user's surroundings;

identify the at least one other individual present in the user's surrounding, wherein the identifying the at least one other individual comprises utilizing identification data to identify the at least one other individual and determining, utilizing permissions assigned to the at least one other individual by the user, if the at least one other individual is authorized to hear the confidential information; and

alter, responsive to determining, based upon the assigned permissions, the at least one other individual is not authorized to hear the confidential information, the output to conceal the confidential information.

12. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the indication is associated with at least one of a user command and a scheduled reminder.

13. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify comprise instructions executable by the processor to access a stored list comprising a plurality of items of confidential information, and determine that the output comprises at least one item from the plurality of items.

14. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to determine comprise instructions executable by the processor to receive data associated with the user's surroundings.

15. The information handling device of claim 14 , wherein the data comprises at least one item of data selected from the group consisting of audio data, visual data, location data, calendar entry data, social media data, and proximate individual data.

16. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to alter comprise instructions executable by the processor to adjust a length of the confidential information in the output.

17. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to alter comprise instructions executable by the processor to provide the output on an output device personal to the user.

18. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to query the user to determine if an alteration type of the confidential information was appropriate.

19. The information handling device of claim 18 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to store, responsive to receiving confirmation input from the user that the alteration type was appropriate, a correlation between the alteration type and the output in a database.

20. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that receives an indication to provide output;

code that identifies that the output comprises confidential information, wherein the confidential information comprises information previously designated as confidential by the user utilizing at least one content tagging technique;

code that determines that the output may be heard by at least one other individual determined to be present in the user's surroundings;

code that identifies the at least one other individual present in the user's surrounding, wherein the identifying the at least one other individual comprises utilizing identification data to identify the at least one other individual and determining, utilizing permissions assigned to the at least one other individual by the user, if the at least one other individual is authorized to hear the confidential information; and

code that alters, responsive to determining, based upon the assigned permissions, that the at least one other individual is not authorized to hear the confidential information, the output to conceal the confidential information.
