Privacy Protection Patterns
Core Principle
Complete privacy protection with zero personal data exposure for AI2AI personality learning.
Anonymization Pattern
Anonymize Personal Data
dart
/// Anonymize personality profile for AI2AI communication
/// Ensures zero personal data exposure while preserving learning value
Future<AnonymizedPersonalityData> anonymizePersonalityProfile(
PersonalityProfile profile,
) async {
// Generate cryptographically secure random salt
final salt = _generateSecureSalt();
// Create anonymized dimension vectors (no personal identifiers)
final anonymizedDimensions = await _anonymizeDimensions(
profile.dimensions,
salt,
);
// Create personality archetype hash (no personal identifiers)
final archetypeHash = await _createArchetypeHash(profile.archetype, salt);
// Generate anonymized fingerprint
final fingerprint = await _createAnonymizedFingerprint(
anonymizedDimensions,
archetypeHash,
salt,
);
return AnonymizedPersonalityData(
anonymizedDimensions: anonymizedDimensions,
archetypeHash: archetypeHash,
fingerprint: fingerprint,
// NO user ID, email, name, or other PII
);
}
No Personal Identifiers
dart
/// ❌ BAD: Contains personal identifiers
class BadPersonalityData {
final String userId; // ❌ Personal identifier
final String email; // ❌ Personal identifier
final String name; // ❌ Personal identifier
final PersonalityDimensions dimensions;
}
/// ✅ GOOD: Anonymized data only
class AnonymizedPersonalityData {
final Map<String, double> anonymizedDimensions; // ✅ Anonymized
final String archetypeHash; // ✅ Hash, not personal data
final String fingerprint; // ✅ Anonymous fingerprint
// NO personal identifiers
}
Logging Privacy
❌ NEVER Log Personal Data
dart
// ❌ BAD: Logs personal data
developer.log('User ${user.email} signed in'); // ❌ Email in logs
developer.log('Processing payment for ${user.name}'); // ❌ Name in logs
developer.log('User ID: ${user.id}'); // ❌ User ID in logs (if sensitive)
✅ Log Anonymized Data
dart
// ✅ GOOD: Anonymized logging
developer.log('User signed in', name: 'AuthService');
developer.log('Processing payment', name: 'PaymentService');
developer.log('User operation completed', name: 'UserService');
// No personal identifiers in logs
Secure Data Handling
Encrypt Sensitive Data
dart
/// Encrypt sensitive data at rest
Future<String> encryptSensitiveData(String data) async {
final key = await _getEncryptionKey();
final encrypted = await encrypt(data, key: key);
return encrypted;
}
/// Decrypt sensitive data
Future<String> decryptSensitiveData(String encrypted) async {
final key = await _getEncryptionKey();
final decrypted = await decrypt(encrypted, key: key);
return decrypted;
}
Secure Storage
dart
/// Store sensitive data securely
class SecureStorageService {
final FlutterSecureStorage _secureStorage;
Future<void> storeSensitiveData(String key, String value) async {
await _secureStorage.write(
key: key,
value: value,
// Encrypted at rest
);
}
Future<String?> getSensitiveData(String key) async {
return await _secureStorage.read(key: key);
}
}
AI2AI Privacy Requirements
Anonymized Data Exchange
dart
/// AI2AI data exchange must be anonymized
Future<void> exchangePersonalityData(Device device) async {
// Extract anonymized personality (no PII)
final anonymizedData = await PrivacyProtection.anonymizePersonalityProfile(
_user.personality,
);
// Exchange anonymized data only
await _sendToDevice(device, anonymizedData);
// Never send: userId, email, name, or other PII
}
Privacy Validation
dart
/// Validate anonymization quality
Future<bool> validateAnonymization(
PersonalityProfile original,
AnonymizedPersonalityData anonymized,
) async {
// Verify no personal identifiers present
final hasPersonalData = anonymized.fingerprint.contains(
RegExp(r'user|email|name|id'),
);
if (hasPersonalData) {
developer.log('Privacy violation: Personal data in anonymized data');
return false;
}
return true;
}
GDPR Compliance
Data Minimization
dart
/// Collect only necessary data
class DataCollectionService {
/// ❌ BAD: Collect unnecessary data
Future<void> collectUserDataBad() async {
// Collecting more than necessary
await store('email', email);
await store('phone', phone);
await store('address', address);
}
/// ✅ GOOD: Collect only necessary data
Future<void> collectUserDataGood() async {
// Collect only what's needed for functionality
await store('personality_dimensions', dimensions);
// Don't collect: email, phone, address (unless required)
}
}
Right to Deletion
dart
/// Implement user data deletion
Future<void> deleteUserData(String userId) async {
// Delete all user data
await _database.delete('users', where: 'id = ?', whereArgs: [userId]);
await _database.delete('spots', where: 'userId = ?', whereArgs: [userId]);
await _secureStorage.delete(key: userId);
// Log deletion (anonymized)
developer.log('User data deleted', name: 'DataDeletionService');
}
