Abstract
A technology is described for making a decision based on identifying without disclosing the identifying information. The method may include receiving a mapping value that represents identifying information that has been converted into a mapping value. A request for data associated with the identifying information may be made by providing the mapping value as a proxy for the identifying information whereby the data associated with the identifying information may be located using the mapping value and returned to a requesting client or service.

- requesting a mapping value that represents identifying information from a first service, using a processor, wherein the request for the mapping value includes an identifier associated with the identifying information, and the first service uses the identifier to locate the identifying information and generate the mapping value from a specified portion of an item of the identifying information;
- receiving the mapping value representing the identifying information from the first service, using the processor;
- requesting affiliated data associated with the identifying information from a second service, using the processor, wherein the request for the affiliated data includes the mapping value representing the identifying information, and wherein the second service uses the mapping value to identify the affiliated data associated with the identifying information;
- and
- receiving the affiliated data associated with the identifying information from the second service, using the processor.
