Abstract
A method and apparatus for selectively removing a data element that triggers a policy violation from a web request to an interactive website. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method identifies a policy for protecting source data, having a plurality of data elements. The method further evaluates a web request sent to an interactive website as part of a web-based application, and determines that the web request includes at least one of the plurality of data elements triggering a violation of the policy. The method determines the data boundaries of the web request, and selectively removes data content within the data boundaries containing the at least one data element that triggered the violation to allow the web request to be processed by the interactive website as if it were the original web request containing the at least one data element.
