Abstract

A method for controlling application enabling includes receiving from a user an indication of data for sharing and an indication of one or more recipients with which to share the data. A multidimensional zone is determined based on the indication of the data and the indication of the one or more recipients. A request from the user to enable an application via a computing device is detected. Data permission requirements of the application are accessed, and a multidimensional coordinate is determined based on the data permission requirements of the application. The multidimensional zone is compared to the multidimensional coordinate, and the user is notified via the computing device of the comparing of the multidimensional zone to the multidimensional coordinate. An affirmation of the request is received from the user via the computing device, and the application is enabled responsive to the affirmation of the request.
