Computer systems and related methods for managing and protecting consumer data and increasing the accuracy of consumer purchasing alternatives by means of private and secure collection and management of personal online and/or offline consumer data from disparate data sources. In one example, a method for collecting information includes collecting and aggregating a plurality of data relating to a user from a plurality of unaffiliated data sources, wherein the data comprises data of varying formats. Collection of the data is performed in part under authorization by the user. The method may include normalizing the data into a standardized form. The method also includes generating an aggregated data profile associated with the user based on the data that is collected and aggregated. The aggregated data profile gives the user control over their personal data and, with express user permission, provides vendors with a comprehensive view of the user, their interests and characteristics. |
