Systems and methods for tracing used data by secondary entities

A computer program product for tracing used data by secondary entities, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing an apparatus to:

• receive, using a network interface, user data associated with a user;
• store the user data on a distributed ledger;
• receive, from a plurality of entities, requests for access to subsets of the user data;
• render a first graphical user interface (GUI) for receiving, from the user, input identifying permission levels for the plurality of entities to access the user data;
• provide, using the network interface, the first GUI to a user device associated with the user for display to the user;
• receive, from the user device and using the network interface, a selected permission level for an entity of the plurality of entities selected by the user using the first graphical user interface, wherein each entity of the plurality of entities has a different permission level or a same permission level;
• generate, using the network interface, a smart contract on the distributed ledger that permits devices with a token to access a subset of the user data;
• provide, using the network interface, the token to a device associated with the selected entity;
• render a second GUI comprising a log of interactions between the selected entity and the subset of the user data;
• and
• provide, using the network interface, the second GUI to the user device associated with the user for display to the user.
