Personal data manager systems and methods
First Claim
1. A personal data manager computing device configured to facilitate propagation of personal data, the personal data manager computing device comprising:
- a memory;
a secure data store; and
a personal data manager module stored on the memory and configured, when executed by the personal data manager computing device, to;
receive from a personal data subscriber computing system a request for one or more personal data items stored in the secure data store;
determine whether the request for the one or more personal data items is in accord with a personal data subscription data structure associated with the personal data subscriber computing system, the personal data subscription data structure including indicators of a plurality of personal data items and entitling the personal data subscriber computing system to access the plurality of personal data items from the secure data store, wherein the personal data subscription data structure includes an indication of a category of personal data items, the category indicating at least one of address information, credit card information, and bank account information; and
when the request for the one or more personal data items is determined in accord with the personal data subscription data structure, cause the personal data subscriber computing system to initiate a transaction by initiating transmission of the one or more requested personal data items to the personal data subscriber computing system,wherein the personal data manager computing device is a personal computing device of a user and the one or more requested personal data items represent personal information about the user,wherein the personal data manager module determines whether the request is in accord with the personal data subscription data structure based upon a first indication received from a remote personal data propagation service computing system that the one or more requested personal data items is one of the plurality of personal data items to which the personal data subscription data structure entitles access, the personal data propagation service having stored an association of an identifier of the personal data subscriber computing system with the personal data subscription data structure, andwherein the personal data manager computing device, the personal data subscriber computing system, and the personal data propagation service computing system are distinct and remote from one another.

Abstract
Methods and systems for facilitating the propagation of personal data include a Personal Data Propagation Environment (“PDP environment”) that facilitates the propagation of personal data items between secure personal data stores and various consumers of the personal data items. One PDP environment includes a personal data manager and a personal data subscriber. The personal data manager manages personal data items on a secure data store associated with a user computing device. The personal data manager provides access to personal data items stored on the secure data store in accordance with a personal data subscription associated with the personal data subscriber.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including non-transitory contents including instructions that, when executed by a personal data manager computing device, cause the personal data manager computing device to facilitate propagation of personal data, by performing a method comprising:
-
receiving from a personal data subscriber computing system a request for one or more personal data items stored in a secure data store communicatively coupled to the personal data manager computing device; determining whether the request for the one or more personal data items is in accord with a personal data subscription data structure associated with the personal data subscriber computing system, the personal data subscription data structure including indicators of a plurality of personal data items and entitling the personal data subscriber computing system to access the plurality of personal data items from the secure data store, wherein the personal data subscription data structure includes an indication of a category of personal data items, the category indicating at least one of address information, credit card information, and bank account information; and when the request for the one or more personal data items is determined to be in accord with the personal data subscription data structure, causing the personal data subscriber computing system to initiate a transaction by initiating transmission of the one or more requested personal data items to the personal data subscriber computing system, wherein the personal data manager computing device is a personal computing device of a user and the one or more requested personal data items represent personal information about the user, wherein determining whether the request is in accord with the personal data subscription data structure is based upon a first indication received from a remote personal data propagation service computing system that the one or more requested personal data items is one of the plurality of personal data items to which the personal data subscription data structure entitles access, the personal data propagation service having stored an association of an identifier of the personal data subscriber computing system with the personal data subscription data structure, and wherein the personal data manager computing device, the personal data subscriber computing system, and the personal data propagation service computing system are distinct and remote from one another. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
