Abstract
A private information control system provides access to private information, such as private offerings to potential investors in compliance with securities law. The system includes legal and technical control features to restrict access and use of private information over a network, such as the Internet. In particular, a server provides registration and user license agreement forms to assure that a client/user is qualified under the securities law. From the registration form, the server confirms the client/user status depending on the type of private information. When an authorized client/user requests private information, the server returns a cookie to the client device to provide access to the private financial information from only that client device. The server also transmits instructions to restrict unauthorized use of private information, such as printing and copying. The registration, user license agreement, and private information are encrypted to for secure transmission between the server and client.
