A method of controlling access to stored data, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a recipient to access to the stored data, wherein the stored data is associated with an individual;
- notifying the individual of the request to access the stored data;
- requesting authorization for the recipient to access the stored data;
- receiving a response from the individual regarding authorization to access the stored data and, upon a determination that authorization is granted, allowing the recipient access to the stored data;
- and
- wherein the method is implemented on a computing device with a processor.
A method of storing and providing access to a data record, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for access to the data record;
- determining a status of an entity generating the request;
- generating an authorization request;
- presenting the authorization request to a user associated with the data record;
- upon receiving authorization, granting the requested access;
- and
- wherein the method of approving access to a data record is implemented on a computing device with a processor.
A computing device, comprising:
- a memory component comprising:
- a data record comprising at least one data file;
- an authorization matrix, wherein the authorization matrix comprises a plurality of entities, each assigned a security level;
- an access log comprising an indication of attempted access;
- and
- wherein an attempt to access the data file by one of the plurality of entities is processed by the authorization matrix such that a notification is sent to a user associated with the data record indicating the security level of the entity;
- a user interface configured to allow the user to interact with the data record stored on the memory component;
- and
- a processing unit configured to facilitate access of the memory component through the user interface.
