Abstract
Electronic content, such as an image, video, or audio file, may be tagged as being associated with an individual. When the electronic content contains biometric data related to the individual, the individual's authorization may be required or preferred before the requested association is made or shared. In a method, a request is received from a tagger to associate a taggee with electronic content. Before the association is made (and potentially shared), the tag data is encrypted. The cryptographic key is sent to the taggee. The encrypted tag data is stored and indexed based on an address associated with the taggee, such as the taggee's email address. When the taggee receives and activates the cryptographic key, the tag data is decrypted and an association is made between the taggee and the electronic content. Biometric data of the taggee included in the electronic content may then be collected and shared.
