Abstract
In some embodiments, provided is a method that includes storing, by a profile repository service, respective profile information for one or more users. The method includes receiving, by the profile repository service, permissions input from a particular one of the one or more users specifying content of the particular user's profile information accessible to content providers. Further, the method included receiving, by the profile repository service, a request from a content provider for profile information for the particular user, wherein the content provider is distinct from the profile repository service. The method also includes providing, by the profile repository service in response to the request, profile information for the particular user to the content provider, wherein the profile information is provided according to the permissions input from the particular user, and wherein the profile information is used to generate content delivered to the particular user remotely from the profile repository service.
