Abstract

An aspect of customized timing for access to shared media includes parsing a communication from a sender, and calculating, based on parsed elements of the communication, a personal score for the communication. The personal score indicates a degree to which information in the communication is determined to be of a personal nature. A further aspect includes calculating a relationship score reflecting a strength of a relationship between the sender and the recipient. The relationship score is calculated from previous communications conducted between the sender and the recipient. Another aspect includes selecting a timing value indicating a length of time the communication will be accessible to the recipient based on a combined respective personal score and relationship score, transmitting the communication to the recipient and monitoring the timing value, and limiting actions that can be taken on the communication by the recipient as a function of the timing value.
