A system and method of an outbound data blocker based on local monitoring of a soliciting website is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of a data blocker module associated with a personal computer includes generating a list of protected metadata based on at least one field data registered by a user having an access privilege to the data blocker module, detecting a website requesting a response data corresponding to one of the list of protected metadata when the website is accessed by a browser of a personal computer and determining a communication of the response data to the website through authenticating a provided password data processed by the data blocker module. In addition, the method may include installing the data blocker module to the personal computer such that the data blocker module is coupled to the browser of the personal computer. |

| Claim: |
1. A method of a data blocker module associated with a personal computer, comprising: generating a list of protected metadata based on at least one field data registered by a user having an access privilege to the data blocker module; detecting a website requesting a response data corresponding to one of the list of protected metadata when the website is accessed by a browser of the personal computer; and determining a communication of the response data to the website through authenticating a provided password data processed by the data blocker module. |
| Claim: |
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the personal computer to include at least one of a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant, a portable computer, a tablet computer, and a wearable computer. |
| Claim: |
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the access privilege to the data blocker module is obtained when the provided password data matches with a saved password data generated during an installation of the data blocker module to the personal computer. |
| Claim: |
4. The method of claim 3, further comprising installing the data blocker module to the personal computer such that the data blocker module is coupled to the browser of the personal computer, wherein the browser to include at least one of an Internet Explorer, a Mozilla, a Firefox, a Safari, a Netscape, an Opera, and other browsers. |
| Claim: |
5. The method of claim 4, further comprising embedding a logo of the data blocker module to a menu bar of a graphic user interface view of the website. |
| Claim: |
6. The method of claim 5, further comprising generating a list of trusted websites based on at least one web address registered by the user with the access privilege to the data blocker module. |
| Claim: |
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the data blocker module to perform the communication of the response data when the website is a member of the list of trusted websites. |
| Claim: |
8. The method of claim 7, further comprising rendering another list of protected metadata recommended by the data blocker module during the generating the list of protected metadata. |
| Claim: |
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the data blocker module to block the communication of the response data by another user who does not have the access privilege to the data blocker module, wherein the another user to include at least a youngster who needs a parental approval to perform the communication of the response data. |
| Claim: |
10. The method of claim 1 in a form of a machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform the method of claim 1. |
| Claim: |
11. A method of a data blocker module associated with a personal computer, comprising: generating a list of protected metadata and a plurality of trusted websites through processing input data of a user having an access privilege to the data blocker module; rendering a pop up window requesting a provided password data when a website accessed by a browser associated with the data blocker module requests a response data described by any one of the list of protected metadata, wherein the website is not a member of the plurality of trusted websites; and blocking a communication of the response data when the provided password data is not authenticated by the data blocker module. |
| Claim: |
12. The method of claim 11, wherein the list of protected metadata to describe at least one of a financial information, a security information, a health information, a genetic information, an identity information, a legal information, and a location information. |
| Claim: |
13. The method of claim 12 further comprising associating the data blocker module to the browser such that the data blocker module is triggered when the browser is accessed by a user of the personal computer. |
| Claim: |
14. The method of claim 13 further comprising performing the communication of the response data when the provided password data is authenticated by the data blocker module. |
| Claim: |
15. A system, comprising: a data blocker module embedded in a data processing device to monitor a communication of each outbound data solicited by a website through comparing a metadata of the outbound data to each of protected metadata registered with the data blocker module; a trusted website of a first server accessed by the data processing device to process the each outbound data through bypassing the data blocker module; and a non-trusted website of a second server accessed by the data processing device to process the each outbound data when the communication of the each outbound data is authenticated by the data blocker module, wherein the website to include at least one of the trusted website and the non-trusted website. |
| Claim: |
16. The system of claim 15, further comprising a configuration module of the data blocker module to create a first database of the trusted website and a second database of the protected metadata when the trusted website and the protected metadata are processed by the data blocker module. |
| Claim: |
17. The system of claim 16, further comprising a detector module of the data blocker module to determine the website accessed by a browser of the data processing device, wherein the bypassing the data blocker module is performed when the website is a member of the first database of the trusted website. |
| Claim: |
18. The system of claim 17, further comprising a match module of the data blocker module to perform the comparing the metadata of the outbound data with each of the protected metadata of the second database. |
| Claim: |
19. The system of claim 18 further comprising a password creation module to generate a saved password during an installation of the data blocker module, wherein the saved password is used to authenticate a user accessing the data blocker module. |
| Claim: |
20. The system of claim 19 further comprising a password matching module to authenticate the user through comparing a provided password data of the user with the saved password. |
