Abstract
Empirical data concerning user responses to permission requests by applications are collected over time. The collected empirical data is aggregated and analyzed to determine whether a requested permission pertains to core functionality and/or key feature(s) of an application. Based on the result of the data analysis, a directive is then generated for a subsequent request for the same permission, to provide advice to a user whether to approve or reject the permission request.
