1. A method for preserving privacy related to networked consumption activity, the method comprising the steps of: defining multiple privacy zones; associating a privacy standard with each respective privacy zone; receiving, by a networked privacy system, a request in association with networked media consumption activity, from a client device; responsive to receiving the request, selecting a privacy zone from the multiple privacy zones for the client device; adding information associated with the client device's networked media consumption activity to a dataset; processing the dataset to comply with the privacy standard of the selected privacy zone; temporarily storing the dataset in a staging database for a time window; permitting the dataset to be written to a filtered database if the dataset in the staging database meets a frequency criterion of the privacy standard of the selected privacy zone within the time window; and, storing the processed dataset in the filtered database at a storage location.
