A computer-implemented method is provided for removing access to data, comprising: receiving a request from the user to delete the user data; suspending control of the user data; generating a second database comprising the user data under full control of the user; deleting the user data from the database; and, on request re-integrating the user data into the same database or integrating into a further database. By providing a database under complete control of the user and outside the control of any database manager or service provider, users are given more freedom to decide what to do with their data. They can choose to protect it, or to monetize it themselves by selling it or licensing it. They can also create a plurality of copies, allowing sales to more than one database manager or service provider.
