Abstract
In an approach to data protection and sharing, a computer retrieves social network data of a first user, and obtains a relationship grade between the first user and a second user, and a level associated with the personal data of the first user. Then it is determined whether the second user qualifies to access the personal data of the first user, based, at least in part, on the relationship grade and the level associated with the personal data. If it is determined that the second user qualifies to access the personal data of the first user, the second user is permitted to access the personal data.
