Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for customizing privacy control systems may include (1) identifying a data entry, from within a set of data entries stored on a computing device, that has been selected to be inaccessible by an application installed on the computing device, (2) marking the data with an indication that the data entry has been selected to be inaccessible by the application, (3) intercepting an attempt made by the application to access the data entry, (4) determining that the application is not permitted to access the data entry by identifying the indication that the data entry was selected to be inaccessible by the application, and (5) blocking the application from accessing the data entry in response to determining that the data entry has been marked as inaccessible while allowing at least one additional application to access the data entry. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
