Abstract

A method for enforcing privacy policies associated with data. The method includes accessing a database to identify labeled data in the database, the labeled data associated with a privacy policy. An access node accessing the label data is determined. For the access node accessing the labeled data, it is determined whether the access node applies an authorization test as indicated by the privacy policy. An authorization test is associated with the access node if the access node does not apply necessary authorization indicated by the privacy policy.
