Abstract
A technique for protecting the privacy of a query is provided using permissions that may be derived from an analysis of the context of the query. A monitoring component can be provided to receive or intercept queries directed at a datastore, and a privacy component is provided that analyzes permissions associated with the queries. The privacy component can also determine access levels of the queries based on the analysis of the permissions. A response component can then be provided to answer the queries in accordance with the access levels of the queries.
