Abstract
A system and method give a user control of personal data. A trusted center comprises a database for personal data, access conditions for the personal data, and a counter. A user loads personal data into the database and assigns access conditions to said data. The personal data is divided into at least two categories, each associated with a user's value. A third party requests access to personal data of a plurality of users, the request comprising search criteria. The trusted center identifies a first set of users matching the search criteria and returns the quantity of users in, and a sum of user's values for, the first set. The third party acknowledges all or part of the sum, and the trusted center returns the personal data of a second set of users for which the sum covers the user's values and updates the counters of user in the second set.
