Abstract
Systems and methods are described for managing personal data on a client computer, in which personal data associated with the client computer is identified by a policy management module. An analysis may be performed for the client computer by a server using fake personal data. To identify applications which may attempt to access the personal data, the fake personal data is tracked for access on the client computer. A policy is then created that disallows access of the personal data by any applications identified by the analysis of the client computer as accessing the fake personal data. The policy is then assigned to the client computer.
