A networked system includes multiple information handling systems (IHSs) that store personal user information such as electronic business cards (EBCs). A first IHS stores the EBC of the EBC owner, namely the user of the first IHS. A second user operates a second IHS. When the second user attempts to forward the EBC to a third IHS operated by a third user, the second IHS instead sends an EBC request to the third IHS. The third user then forwards the EBC request back to the EBC owner's IHS if the third user desires to obtain the EBC. This provides the original owner of the EBC with the opportunity to reject or approve the request for the EBC. In this manner, the owner of the EBC effectively controls the downstream distribution of the owner's EBC when IHS users other than the owner attempt to forward the owner's EBC.
