Abstract
Rather than forcing users to give personally identifying contact data to information providers, this disclosure teaches an apparatus and method enabling the use of 'private tokens,' which allow information providers to send electronic communications to targeted users without having access to personally identifying contact information. These features are provided by an anonymous communication service that manages the private tokens and provides communication proxy services intermediating the electronic communications between the information providers and the users targeted by those communications.
