摘要

Providing contact information via a directory service comprises a request being received (302) from an originator to obtain at least a portion of contact information associated with a target. A first policy associated with the originator is identified (304), and a second policy that is associated with the target is identified (306). Based on at least one of the policies, it is determined (308) whether a portion of the contact information associated with the target is authorized to be presented to the originator. If authorized, the portion of the contact information is presented (310) to the originator. Upon receiving a request from the originator to establish communication with the target, it is determined whether a portion of contact information associated with the originator is authorized to presented to the target based on at least one of the policies. If authorized, the portion of the contact information associated with the originator is presented to the target.
