Abstract
A technique is disclosed which makes it possible to easily control access to personal information of a user. A management server stores personal information such as a name, telephone number, address, and electronic mail address of each user. For example, if a user of a computer transmits a request command to the management server to transmit personal information of a user of a portable telephone device, the management server determines, in accordance with access restriction information, whether or not providing of the personal information of the user of the portable telephone is restricted. If the providing of the personal information requested by the user of the computer is restricted, the management server inquires of the user of the portable telephone device, who is the owner of the personal information, whether to give permission to provide the personal information. If permission is given, the management server provides the personal information to the user of the computer.
