    Abstract: Various embodiments pertain to techniques for measuring a user's privacy level as a user interacts with various web services. In various embodiments, entities with which the user interacts are detected and sensitive information shared by the user is logged to determine what a given entity knows about the user. In some embodiments, sensitive information that is shared by a user can be processed using a predictive algorithm to ascertain a user's level of privacy. When a user's identity is predicted by the algorithm, a user can be alerted to the loss of anonymity. In various embodiments, user-defined areas of anonymity can be used to measure a user's definition of privacy. In some embodiments, alerts can also be provided to the user when a new, previously undisclosed, piece of information is shared by the user.

    Abstract translation: 各种实施例涉及当用户与各种web服务交互时测量用户的隐私级别的技术。 在各种实施例中,检测到与用户交互的实体并记录用户共享的敏感信息,以确定给定实体对用户的了解。 在一些实施例中,可以使用预测算法来处理由用户共享的敏感信息以确定用户的隐私级别。 当通过该算法预测用户的身份时,可以向用户警告匿名的丢失。 在各种实施例中,用户定义的匿名区域可以用于测量用户对隐私的定义。 在一些实施例中,当用户共享新的先前未公开的新信息时,还可以向用户提供警报。
