摘要

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are for managing opt-in and opt-out for private data access. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a mobile device can receive a request to obtain private data associated with a user of the mobile device and, in response to the request, determine whether an application program associated with the request is permitted to access the private data based upon a rule. The mobile device, in response to determining that the application program is permitted to access the private data based upon the rule, can instruct the application program to proceed to obtain the private data. The mobile device, in response to determining that the application program is not permitted to access the private data based upon the rule, can instruct the application program to avoid obtaining the private data.
