Systems and methods for enforcing centralized privacy controls in de-centralized systems

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• obtaining data from a first user pertaining to a first data subject;
• generating a first dynamically-changing, temporally unique identifier (DDID) for the first data subject, wherein the first DDID is configured to replace a first value related to the first data subject;
• storing the first DDID in a first element of a first one of one or more distributed ledgers;
• receiving, over a network, a first request from a first requesting party for the first value related to the first data subject;
• sending the first DDID to the first requesting party over the network in response to the first request when the first requesting party is not authorized to receive the first value;
• and
• sending the first value related to the first data subject to the first requesting party over the network in response to the first request when the first requesting party is authorized to receive the first value.

A non-transitory program storage device, readable by a programmable control device, comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause the programmable control device to:

• obtain data from a first user pertaining to a first data subject;
• generate a first dynamically-changing, temporally unique identifier (DDID) for the first data subject, wherein the first DDID is configured to replace a first value related to the first data subject;
• store the first DDID in a first element of a first one of one or more distributed ledgers;
• receive, over a network, a first request from a first requesting party for the first value related to the first data subject;
• send the first DDID to the first requesting party over the network in response to the first request when the first requesting party is not authorized to receive the first value;
• and
• send the first value related to the first data subject to the first requesting party over the network in response to the first request when the first requesting party is authorized to receive the first value.
