Abstract

For presenting a data instance based on data rules, a processor retrieves a data unique identifier from a data instance. The processor further identifies each person associated with the data instance. The processor presents the data instance based on presentation rules for each person. The presentation rules are a function of one or more of a personal jurisdiction of each person, a jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance, and a current time. No presentation rules for each person are violated.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

retrieving, by use of a processor, a data unique identifier from a data instance;

identifying each person of a plurality of persons associated with the data instance, wherein the data instance comprises images of the plurality of persons; and

presenting the data instance with a substitute data instance image for a first person of the plurality of persons based on least permissive presentation rules for the first person of a plurality of presentation rules, wherein the substitute data instance image is an audio clip that explains that personal information for the first person cannot be presented, the plurality of presentation rules are a function of one or more of a personal jurisdiction of each person, a jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance, and a current time, and wherein no presentation rules for each person are violated.

2. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising:

determining the personal jurisdiction of each person;

determining the jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance; and

selecting the least permissive presentation rules of the plurality of presentation rules that comply with privacy options for each person mandated by the jurisdiction of each person and the jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the least permissive presentation rules are further selected based on a requestor.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the requestor is one or more of social media, data mining, a search engine, and an Internet application.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the data instance comprises two or more images, and one of the two or more images is presented based on the least permissive presentation rules for each person.

6. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising deleting the data instance in response to an auto delete date occurring.

7. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising deleting the data instance in response to an auto delete event occurring.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the auto delete event comprises a change in a privacy option.

9. An apparatus comprising:

a processor;

a memory storing program instructions executable by the processor to perform;

retrieving a data unique identifier from a data instance;

identifying each person of a plurality of persons associated with the data instance; and

presenting the data instance with a substitute data instance image for a first person of the plurality of persons based on least permissive presentation rules for the first person of a plurality of presentation rules, wherein the substitute data instance image is an audio clip that explains that personal information for the first person cannot be presented, the plurality of presentation rules are a function of one or more of a personal jurisdiction of each person, a jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance, and a current time, and wherein no presentation rules for each person are violated.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor further performs:

determining the personal jurisdiction of each person;

determining the jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance; and

selecting the least permissive presentation rules of the plurality of presentation rules that comply with privacy options for each person mandated by the jurisdiction of each person and the jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the least permissive presentation rules are further selected based on a requestor.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the requestor is one or more of social media, data mining, a search engine, and an Internet application.

13. The apparatus of claim 9, the processor further deleting the data instance in response to an auto delete event occurring, wherein the auto delete event comprises a change in a privacy option.

20. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the data instance comprises two or more images, and one of the two or more images is presented based on the least permissive presentation rules for each person.

14. A computer program product for presenting a data instance, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable/executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

retrieving a data unique identifier from a data instance;

identifying each person of a plurality of persons associated with the data instance; and

presenting the data instance with a substitute data instance image for a first person of the plurality of persons based on least permissive presentation rules for the first person of a plurality of presentation rules, wherein the substitute data instance image is an audio clip that explains that personal information for the first person cannot be presented, the plurality of presentation rules are a function of one or more of a personal jurisdiction of each person, a jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance, and a current time, and wherein no presentation rules for each person are violated.

15. The computer program product of claim 14, the processor further deleting the data instance in response to an auto delete event occurring, wherein the auto delete event comprises a change in a privacy option.

16. The computer program product of claim 14, wherein the processor further performs:

determining the personal jurisdiction of each person;

determining the jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance; and

selecting the least permissive presentation rules of the plurality of presentation rules that comply with privacy options for each person mandated by the jurisdiction of each person and the jurisdiction of the presentation of the data instance.

17. The computer program product of claim 16, the processor further selecting a presentation version of the data instance based on the least permissive presentation rules.

18. The computer program product of claim 16, wherein the least permissive presentation rules are further selected based on a requestor.

19. The computer program product of claim 18, wherein the requestor is one or more of social media, data mining, a search engine, and an Internet application.

21. The computer program product of claim 14, wherein the data instance comprises two or more images, and one of the two or more images is presented based on the least permissive presentation rules for each person.
