Abstract
A system for automatically managing information privacy includes an input system for receiving a request that includes a call for information in a bean and a purpose for the call, which indicates a manner an information requestor intends to use the information, wherein the call is to a method within the bean referencing at least one privacy control rule, which governs access and/or use of the information, that is packaged with the bean, the privacy control rule being additional to the information and methods of the bean and being packaged as an element of a deployment descriptor; and a privacy control system for automatically determining whether the request should be granted by comparing the purpose to the at least one privacy control rule to determine whether the purpose is valid, wherein the request is granted if the purpose complies with the at least one privacy control rule.
