Abstract

The present disclosure relates to techniques for providing and facilitating time-controlled data for preserving privacy of data sources. Embodiments are provided herein for methods, processes, devices, network nodes, computer program products, and computer-readable media. In some embodiments, a network node receives first data for a first data transaction that is assigned a unique identifier. In response, the network node enables transmission of second data and the unique identifier to one or more entity. In accordance with a determination that an indication of the time limit indicates a non-zero time limit for retention of the first data for the first data transaction, the node enables storage of one or more of the first data and the second data according to the time limit. In accordance with a determination that the indication does not indicate a non-zero time limit, the node causes deletion of the first data and the second data.
