Visual privacy systems for enterprise mobility management
View Patent ↗Systems herein allow a user to use their personal user device to perform functions in an enterprise environment in exchange for enrolling at a management server. The management server can provide a privacy component that allows the user to view a privacy profile summarizing data collection activities of the management server. The management server can dynamically build the privacy profile based on device profile and privacy settings stored on the management server. The privacy profile can be dynamically updated based on changes to privacy settings, and can also provide links for a user to see actual data that has been collected at the management server.
1. A method for managing privacy policies and notifications, comprising:
displaying, on a graphical user interface (“GUI”), data categories available for collection for multiple device types;
receiving a selection of a first data category for collection for a first device type;
based on the selection, sending a privacy profile to a user device having the first device type, wherein the privacy profile causes the user device to display information about the selected first data category;
receiving, from the user device, acknowledgement of data collection outlined in the privacy profile; and
issuing a notification when a change occurs regarding which data categories are collected as compared to the acknowledged privacy profile.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification is displayed on the GUI.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification is provided to a user that made the first or second selections.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification is displayed as a badge associated with an application icon on the user device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein issuing the notification includes sending a second privacy profile to the user device, the second privacy profile including updated data categories for collection.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification provides information regarding how the privacy profile has changed.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification identifies at least one type of data category that is not being collected.
8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium containing instructions executed by a hardware-based processor to perform stages for managing privacy policies and notifications, the stages comprising:
displaying, on a graphical user interface (“GUI”), data categories available for collection for multiple device types;
receiving a selection of a first data category for collection for a first device type;
based on the selection, sending a privacy profile to a user device having the first device type, wherein the privacy profile causes the user device to display information about the selected first data category;
receiving, from the user device, acknowledgement of data collection outlined in the privacy profile; and
issuing a notification when a change occurs regarding which data categories are collected as compared to the acknowledged privacy profile.
9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the notification is displayed on the GUI.
10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the notification is provided to a user that made the first or second selections.
11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the notification is displayed as a badge associated with an application icon on the user device.
12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein issuing the notification includes sending a second privacy profile to the user device, the second privacy profile including updated data categories for collection.
13. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the notification provides information regarding how the privacy profile has changed.
14. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the notification identifies at least one type of data category that is not being collected.
15. A system for managing privacy policies and notifications, comprising:
a non-transitory, computer-readable medium that contains instructions;
a hardware-based processor that executes the instructions to perform stages comprising:
displaying, on a graphical user interface (“GUI”), data categories available for collection for multiple device types;
receiving a selection of a first data category for collection for a first device type;
based on the selection, sending a privacy profile to a user device having the first device type, wherein the privacy profile causes the user device to display information about the selected first data category;
receiving, from the user device, acknowledgement of data collection outlined in the privacy profile; and
issuing a notification when a change occurs regarding which data categories are collected as compared to the acknowledged privacy profile.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the notification is displayed on the GUI.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the notification is provided to a user that made the first or second selections.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the notification is displayed as a badge associated with an application icon on the user device.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein issuing the notification includes sending a second privacy profile to the user device, the second privacy profile including updated data categories for collection.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the notification provides information regarding how the privacy profile has changed.
