SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MODIFYING COMPUTER-EXECUTABLE INSTRUCTIONS TO REMOVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides systems and methods to locate, remove and optionally replace personal information in screen pages generated by computer-executable instructions. According to an embodiment, a method includes obtaining computer-executable instructions for generating multiple screen pages. At least one of the screen pages includes personal information that a user might not have permission to view. The computer-executable instructions can then be modified to produce modified computer-executable instructions, which generate at least one modified screen page that corresponds to the at least one screen page having the personal information removed. The modified computer-executable instructions are transmitted to a device associated with the user, allowing the user to interact with the at least one modified screen page without risking disclosure of the personal information.
