Abstract
The disclosure describes systems and methods of limiting access to data that is commonly held, such as by a data cooperative. Certain embodiments involve providing a filter system that receives a record with user device identifiers, and uses the received record to create or modify a filter that is associated with a participant system. The filter system creates a filter key based on a device identifier from the record and assigns the filter key to the associated filter. The filter is applied to a data source including one or more stored device identifiers, and a determination is made whether the stored device identifiers are linked to the filter key. In some embodiments, determining a link is based on characteristics of the stored device identifiers, or on user indications (e.g., “opt-out” preferences), or both. The linked device identifiers are provided to the participant system.
