Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically managing privacy settings in an information handling system (IHS), the method comprising:
a privacy manager service asserting a first privacy policy including a first set of privacy rules for one or more of an input device and an output device based on an environment in which the IHS is operating, the first set of privacy rules including a defined geographic area;
an IHS service receiving a privacy override request;
the IHS service determining, at a first time, a set of IHS parameters and a set of application parameters for the application based on the environment, the IHS parameters including a first geographic location of the IHS;
the IHS service sending the privacy override request to a server service, the privacy override request including the set of IHS parameters and the set of application parameters;
the server service, based on the first geographic location of the IHS, sending a response to the IHS service to allow the privacy override request, the response including a token and a second privacy policy including a second set of privacy rules;
the IHS service receiving the response from the server service;
the IHS service sending the second privacy policy to the privacy manager service;
the privacy manager service asserting the second privacy policy;
the IHS service determining, at a second time after the first time, a change from the first geographic location to a second geographic location;
the IHS service sending data including the second geographic location of the IHS to the server service;
the privacy manager, based on the second geographic location of the IHS, determining that the second geographic location does not meet the second set of privacy rules of the second privacy policy;
the privacy manager sending a default privacy policy to the IHS service, the default privacy policy blocking access to the one or more of the input device and the output device; and
asserting, by the privacy manager service, the default privacy policy.
