A profile access mediator ( 10 ) provides to a plurality of service providers ( 16, 18, 20 ) a controlled and logically centralized access to personal profiles stored in a local or distributed database ( 12 ). The access to the databases ( 12 ) containing user, service or terminal profiles is controlled and tracked by means of a plurality of personalized access technologies which are dependent on the typology of the data involved. Such scheme allows a better control of the data access, more efficiency in the security and accounting processes, as well as in the data access in general.
