Abstract

Aspects of the technology described herein maintain the privacy of confidential information to be communicated to a user through a computing device. The technology keeps confidential information private by assessing the privacy context of the communication. The privacy context can be determined by determining a privacy level of the information to be communicated and the privacy level of the environment into which the information is to be communicated. The privacy context can be used to select an appropriate communication channel for the information. The privacy context can also be used to determine whether all available content is shared or just a portion of it.
