1. A digital/analog signal processing apparatus for controlling exposure of personally identifiable information to be transferred from storage in a secure enclave, comprising:
a memory; and
an integrated circuit coupled to said memory, configured to:
select a data set stored in said storage;
individuate personally identifiable information in said data set;
determine an individual person's subset of individuated personally identifiable information;
extract an identifier for said individual person from said individual person's subset of individuated personally identifiable information;
interrogate stored data using said identifier to locate metadata comprising permission to expose said individual person's subset of individuated personally identifiable information; and
responsive to a failure of said interrogating to locate said metadata comprising permission, either:
emit a signal seeking said permission; or
apply a protective measure to said individual person's subset of individuated personally identifiable information prior to transfer of said data set in a digital/analog signal outside said secure enclave;
wherein said determining an individual person's subset of individuated personally identifiable information further comprises:
distinguishing between an intended subject of said data set and an incidentally included individual person using a machine learning technique; and
selecting said incidentally included individual person's individuated personally identifiable information for further processing.
