One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for dynamically maintaining user centric data. For example, a data provider app may have knowledge about user centric data associated with a user (e.g., a social network app may have contact information for a social network friend of the user). A user centric profile may be defined for the user centric data based upon information provided by the data provider app (e.g., a contact card may be generated for the social network friend). Responsive to receiving a request for the user centric profile from a requestor app (e.g., an event planning app), the user centric profile may be exposed to the user but not to the requestor app for security and/or privacy purposes. For example, an operating system may present at least some of the user centric profile within an operating system user interface.

User centric data maintenance

Systems and techniques of providing suggestions for email recipients to a user who is composing an email communications are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a user may register a plurality of email accounts with an email application. Once an email account is registered with the email application, contact data from each such registered email account may be received. In another embodiment, if the user employs a plurality of devices from which the user composes and/or sends email communications, device-specific contact information may also be received. Relevance metrics may be applied to such suggestions depending upon the contact data received from the various email accounts. Dynamic correction factor may be applied to such relevance metrics&#x2014;e.g., a decay factor, decrement factor or the like that may or may not be time dependent.

Systems and methods of automatically ordering and selecting recipients for electronic mail

Described herein are technologies pertaining to transmitting electronic contact data from a first application to a second application by way of an operating system without generating a centralized contact store or providing the second application with programmatic access to all electronic contact data retained by first application.
