Abstract
A method for controlling user device privacy protection in a public space. In response to receiving an attempt to log-on to a user device in a location, the method accesses a surveillance camera mapping for the location. The method further detects one or more surveillance cameras within a proximity of the user device and notifies a user about the proximity and potential exposure of the user device, based on the detected one or more surveillance cameras. The method prompts the user to receive guidance to an alternate location, within the proximity, to access the user device away from the one or more surveillance cameras and guides the user to the alternate location using the surveillance camera mapping, in response to receiving an affirmative response from the user. The method further enables the user to complete the log-on to the user device.
