An electronic communication system provides sender controlled access to electronic communications transmitted through an electronic communication network. A sender profile and recipient profile are registered with an electronic content service provider. An electronic communication with information content is transmitted from a sender computer to the electronic content service provider. A signature is generated unique to the electronic communication. The signature without the information content is transmitted to a recipient computer. The information content of the electronic communication is accessed by transmitting an authorization based on the recipient profile from the recipient computer to the electronic content service provider. The information content of the electronic communication is transmitted from the electronic content service provider through the electronic communication network to the recipient computer with restricted access as determined by the sender computer upon confirmation of the authorization. If the authorization is not confirmed, access to the electronic communication is blocked.
