1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a first device, one or more non-empty application programs resident on a second device;
determining whether the second device requires removal of data belonging to one or more application programs of the one or more non-empty application programs;
in response to determining that the second device requires removal of data, synchronizing, by the first device, each application program of the one or more application programs on the second device with an associated null account;
determining whether the second device requires synchronizing of data belonging to one or more application programs resident on at least one server; and
in response to determining that the second device requires synchronizing;
retrieving, by the first device, data associated with each resident application program of the one or more determined resident application programs from the at least one server;
redacting portions of the data associated with one or more resident application programs of the one or more determined resident application programs, by replacing each portion of the data with a network address directed to the first device thereby allowing dynamic control of access to the portion of data; and
synchronizing each resident application program of the one or more determined resident application programs on the second device with the associated data having redacted portions, when the associated data has had portions redacted.

Abstract
A proxy server receives a synchronization request from an application program resident on a user device. The proxy server determines that the user device requires removal of application program data and synchronizes the application program resident on the user device with a null account that is associated with application program.

1. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a first device, one or more non-empty application programs resident on a second device; determining whether the second device requires removal of data belonging to one or more application programs of the one or more non-empty application programs; in response to determining that the second device requires removal of data, synchronizing, by the first device, each application program of the one or more application programs on the second device with an associated null account; determining whether the second device requires synchronizing of data belonging to one or more application programs resident on at least one server; and in response to determining that the second device requires synchronizing; retrieving, by the first device, data associated with each resident application program of the one or more determined resident application programs from the at least one server; redacting portions of the data associated with one or more resident application programs of the one or more determined resident application programs, by replacing each portion of the data with a network address directed to the first device thereby allowing dynamic control of access to the portion of data; and synchronizing each resident application program of the one or more determined resident application programs on the second device with the associated data having redacted portions, when the associated data has had portions redacted. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4)

5. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a subsystem on a first device, implemented at least partially in hardware, that determines one or more non-empty application programs resident on a second device; a subsystem, implemented at least partially in hardware, that determines whether the second device requires removal of data belonging to one or more application programs of the one or more non-empty application programs; a null account synchronizing subsystem on the first device, implemented at least partially in hardware, that, in response to determining that the second device requires removal of data, synchronizes each application program of the one or more application programs on the second device with an associated null account; a subsystem, implemented at least partially in hardware, that determines whether the second device requires synchronizing of data belonging to one or more application programs resident on at least one server; and a subsystem on the first device, implemented at least partially in hardware, that, in response to determining that the second device requires synchronizing; retrieves data associated with each resident application program of the one or more determined resident application programs from the at least one server; redacts portions of the data associated with one or more resident application programs of the one or more determined resident application programs, by replacing each portion of the data with a network address directed to the first device thereby allowing dynamic control of access to the portion of data; and synchronizes each resident application program of the one or more determined resident application programs on the second device with the associated data having redacted portions, when the associated data has had portions redacted. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising software instructions, which when executed by one or more processors cause performance of:
-
determining, by a first device, one or more non-empty application programs resident on a second device; determining whether the second device requires removal of data belonging to one or more application programs of the one or more non-empty application programs; in response to determining that the second device requires removal of data, synchronizing, by the first device, each application program of the one or more application programs on the second device with an associated null account; determining whether the second device requires synchronizing of data belonging to one or more application programs resident on at least one server; and in response to determining that the second device requires synchronizing; retrieving, by the first device, data associated with each resident application program of the one or more determined resident application programs from the at least one server; redacting portions of the data associated with one or more resident application programs of the one or more determined resident application programs, by replacing each portion of the data with a network address directed to the first device thereby allowing dynamic control of access to the portion of data; and synchronizing each resident application program of the one or more determined resident application programs on the second device with the associated data having redacted portions, when the associated data has had portions redacted. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
