  • Patent number: 10771585
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for limiting client side data storage based upon client geolocation. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for the differentiated treatment of data at rest in a mobile device includes receiving in a cache manager a request to cache data in a cache of a mobile device. Also, a geolocation for the mobile device is retrieved contemporaneous with the receipt of the request. Thereafter, it is determined from the geolocation whether or not the mobile device is present within a restricted geographic zone. Finally, in response to determining that the mobile device is present within a restricted geographic zone, the cache manager is directed to cache the data in a cache in the mobile device. But, otherwise the cache manager is directed to cache the data in a cache disposed in the computer communications network.
