Claim 12:
13. A method of implementing privacy protection for a user with an automated security agent controlling online interactions with a digital services provider comprising:
a. processing a personal privacy charter (PPC) for the user to determine a set of user privacy related parameters to be effectuated by the automated security agent for selected user data originating from a user device when engaging with a third party digital service provider (DSP) through an online website and/or a mobile application;
wherein the automated security agent designates said third party DSP as a white listed entity when the latter is determined to satisfy said set of user privacy related parameters identified in said PPC;
b. controlling a data session between the user and the DSP with the automated security agent based on said user privacy related parameters, such that when enabled by a user privacy countermeasure option in the PPC, the automated security agent generates both an accurate request containing said selected user data and one or more decoy requests containing artificial data to said DSP for said user device when said first DSP is not designated as a white list entity; and
wherein the automated security agent selectively employs said one or more decoy requests on a DSP-by-DSP basis based on a particular DSP's compliance with said user privacy related parameters;
c. processing a first response from the DSP for said accurate request and one or more second responses from the DSP for said one or more decoy requests;
d. communicating said first response to the user device;
wherein the user data is intermingled with said artificial data to reduce data tracking and assignability of the selected user data to the user when said first DSP is not designated as a white list entity.
