Abstract
An approach is provided for managing data being transmitted from a mobile device. The mobile device receives a request from a user to initiate a transmission of data. The mobile device determines whether the data includes person or business-related sensitive information based on a format of the data, and if so, the mobile device determines a country in which the mobile device is currently located, determines a privacy policy of the country in which the mobile device is currently located, and determines whether the privacy policy applies to a type of the data corresponding to the format of the data; and if so, the mobile device notifies the user of the privacy policy of the country, identifies to the user the type of the data for which the privacy policy applies, and queries the user whether to transmit the data as requested by the user.
