Abstract
Systems and processes that may be implemented to manage access by software applications to various resources of a user telecommunications device are disclosed. The systems and processes may implement a trust policy which reflects privacy criteria selected by a user of the user telecommunications device, wherein the trust policy overrides registered permissions of the software applications. The user telecommunication device may include a memory that stores a software application has been granted registered permissions to access a input and/or output component of the user telecommunications device as well as a trust policy has been set by the user to proscribe access by that particular software application to the input and/or output component. In implementing the trust policy, the software application may be prevented from accessing the input and/or output component notwithstanding the software application having registered permissions to access the input and/or output component.
