Disclosed is a personal-information (PI) transmission/reception system and the like which makes it possible to, even when the number of apparatuses possessing PI has increased, reduce a burden of a user who sets preferences (PRFs) with respect to disclosures of the PI on the individual apparatuses. In the PI transmission/reception system, a PI acquisition apparatus transmits PI to a PI provision apparatus. The PI provision apparatus requests a PRF with respect to disclosures of the PI to a preference management apparatus (PMA). The PMA presents a confirmation PRF which the PMA has generated based on a PRF having been requested and past PRFs having been stored in advance in a PRF storage unit. A user terminal confirms the presented PRF, and transmits a PRF resulting from the confirmation to the PI provision apparatus. When having determined, based on the received PRF, that it is possible to disclose the PI to the PI acquisition apparatus, the PI provision apparatus transmits the PI to the PI acquisition apparatus.
