US 2019/0171832 A1 · RULE BASED ACCESS TO VOLUNTARILY PROVIDED DATA HOUSED IN A PROTECTED REGION OF A DATA STORAGE DEVICE

Abstract

Structured access to volunteered private data disclosed. Access can be based on security and privacy constraint information (SPCI) that can be selected by the party volunteering the private data. The volunteered data can be stored in a protected portion of a public network. The SPCI can be correlated to the volunteered data. In response to receiving a request for access to the volunteered data, an attribute of the request can be determined to satisfy one or more rules related to the SPCI prior to facilitating access to a version of a portion of the volunteered data. The version of the portion of the volunteered data can be a redaction of the portion of the volunteered data. The version of the portion of the volunteered data can be aggregated with other portions of other volunteered data determined to satisfy corresponding SPCI related rules.

A device, comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving first data for storage in a protected environment on a first portion of a network storage device, wherein the first data stored in the protected environment of the first portion of the network storage device is accessible based on satisfying a first privacy rule;
in response to receiving privacy settings corresponding to the first data, determining the first privacy rule;
in response to receiving a request for relevant data:
