Zusammenfassung:A data brokerage system (12) is described. The system comprises: a database (18) for storing a plurality of data accounts; a data update interface (24); and a data sales interface (26) for allowing a third party to query preselected data accounts. Each data account includes data associated with an individual and access rights selected by the individual. The data update interface (24) allows an individual to add data to their data account. The system (12) is able to charge a third party a fee for accessing data accounts meeting an acceptance criteria. A method of selling access to data in a database is also described. The method comprises the steps of: storing data associated with an individual (100); allowing the individual to determine access rights to the data (124); and selling access to the data to a third party (106).
