Abstract

A method for enabling a user to sell or grant information filtered to align with the user's life state. This information may include at least demographic information, health information, ethnic information, social information and psychological information. The system may grant customers permission to purchase or obtain the information about the user's life. Customers are also members of the information marketplace system and may respond to user offers, or customers may offer to purchase or obtain user information. Offers are evaluated using a set of criteria before they are accepted by a user or customer; and may use the transacted information about the user's life. The method also enables the customer to rate the user according to the user's behavior, and to enable search engines, web sites, systems, databases, resources, and personnel to filter search results according to the information about the user's life. The information transaction may also allow the purchased or obtained information to be periodically or dynamically updated or renewed over time. A user's information may be transacted using a variety of transaction methods, including traditional payment options, point systems, or other means according to user and customer preferences.
