END-TO-END PRIVACY ECOSYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028752 titled 'END-TO-END PRIVACY ECOSYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that includes a privacy vault for storing user-associated contents and access permissions for third parties. The access permissions define procurement and utilization policies for the vault contents accessed by the third-party.

  • The system can access a user account to recover user-associated contents and store them in the privacy vault.
  • When a third-party requests access to identified contents stored in the privacy vault, the system determines if the contents are procurable based on the access permission defined for the third-party.
  • The system provides procurable contents to the third-party, along with any constraints on the contents defined by the utilization policies of the access permission.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Secure storage and sharing of sensitive user-associated contents.
  • Controlled access to user-associated contents by authorized third parties.
  • Privacy protection for user data stored in the privacy vault.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring privacy and security of user-associated contents.
  • Managing access permissions and utilization policies for third-party access.
  • Facilitating secure sharing of user data while maintaining control over access.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced privacy and security for user data.
  • Improved control over access to user-associated contents.
  • Simplified management of access permissions and utilization policies.
