TARGETING OF CONSUMER LISTS UNDER CONSENT BY EXTERNAL PARTIES FOR PROMOTIONS AND DISCOUNTS

摘要

A consumer owns a list of items, whether goods or services, including one or more entries, with each entry indicating an item, such as a good or service. This list of items has one or more entries with associated authorizations. The authorizations indicate which entities can access information from the entry in the list, and which actions the entities can perform using the information on the list. In particular, such authorizations include one or forms of targeting of the owner of the list, typically a consumer of goods and services, with promotions, advertisements, discounts, coupons and similar information relating to the goods and services on the list. The consumer controls the content and authorizations in the list.
