Abstract

A computer-based system, method and computer program product for controlling access to protected personal information is disclosed. Protected personal information that is accessible by an information management application program is stored in a computer memory. In response to a request from an authenticated user for information, which includes protected personal information, information is displayed indicating that user has requested protected personal information, but the protected personal information is not displayed. In response to receiving user input requesting access to the protected personal information, a determination is made as to whether the user is authorized to access the requested protected personal information. If so, requested protected personal information is displayed to the user and information is stored relating to the user's access to protected personal information. Otherwise, requested protected personal information is not displayed to the user and information relating to the user's access to protected personal information is not stored.
