Abstract
Today'"'"'s consumer information aggregation schemes are problematic from both a privacy standpoint and from the standpoint of providing complete, useful and actionable information about individual consumer behavior. For the most part, the consumer is offered little control of and little benefit from the existing information value chain. The invention provides a method for gaining access to significantly more complete information about the consumer in exchange for allowing the consumer to participate in the brokerage of that information as well as deriving direct benefit from the sale and use of that information.
