Abstract: A system and method for selectable privacy modes are disclosed. A plurality of privacy mode definitions are stored with each privacy mode definition including a respective control state definition for each function in a plurality of functions of an electronic device. The plurality of functions includes at least two of communications functions, sensor functions, application functions, or combinations of these. An input indicating a selected privacy mode definition from within the plurality of privacy mode definitions is received. A respective control state of each function in the plurality of functions is set based on each respective control state definition in the selected privacy mode definition.
