Abstract
A user's settings including privacy settings in a computer game system are recorded in a digital passport and mapped to settings in third party interactive online services to seamlessly achieve the same level of privacy protection and other personal settings throughout other interactive online services as the user has already established in a computer game account. Any exceptions to establishing the passport settings can be surfaced so the user can decide whether to proceed with engagement of a third party interactive online service.
