1. A communication device, comprising:

  • an Integrated Circuit; and

    a privacy module, the privacy module comprising;

    a directional sensing mechanism configured to detect a motion of the communication device and translate the detected motion into an electrical signal which is analyzed by an analysis module and used to control operations of a switch which controls whether or not the Integrated Circuit is enabled to communicate via an antenna, andtransponder componentry which enables power to be provided from an external Radio Frequency (RF) field to components of the privacy module, the transponder componentry including a microprocessor and non-volatile memory, the transponder componentry enabling the analysis module to be programmed with one or more permissible inputs without exposing data from the Integrated Circuit.
