Abstract
A trusted data bank organizes and manages access to streams of personal data owned by users with their permission. The data bank accepts incoming streams of personal data from users (such as financial, utility account, medical, insurance, activity, hobby, life style, consumer preferences, commercial transactions, telematics or smart home data, etc.), and applies user-defined privacy directives. The data bank receives personal data stream criteria and offers for goods, services, discounts, or incentives from personal data consumers (end users). The data bank may compare available streams of personal data and associated privacy directives for potential matches with criteria specified by consumers of personal data, and display offers to qualifying owners of personal data streams. If the owner accepts the offer, the data bank facilitates supplying the personal data stream to the consumer of personal data, and retains the ability to discontinue access to the stream at the owner's request.
