Abstract

Methods and systems for managing sensitive data stored on a wireless computing device associated with a geofence. The system or method identifies sensitive data stored on the wireless computing device, defines a geofence based at least in part on a parameter associated with a user of the wireless computing device, continuously or periodically determines the location of the wireless computing device relative to the first geofence, and modifies, if the wireless computing device is located outside the first geofence, the identified sensitive data on the wireless computing device.
