Abstract

A telecommunications system comprises at least one user and provides a first entity for storing information defining a privacy profile for at least one user. A second entity is arranged to store an association between at least one user and the first entity and the system is such that in response to a request for information relating to the user, the association stored in the second entity is used to identify the first entity so that a check can be made with respect to the privacy profile as to whether or not the requested information, can be provided.
