Decentralized ledger system for propagating consumer consents
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11886612B2) outlines a method for propagating consumer consents through a distributed ledger system involving multiple peer nodes. The method involves collecting consumer data and consent at an original data server, entering this information into a consent ledger at a peer node, syncing this data across all peer nodes, transferring consumer data to a transferee server, and entering data transfer data into a data transfer ledger at a peer node. This process ensures that consumer consents are accurately recorded and synchronized across the distributed network.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for consumer opting out, where a consumer can request to opt out of the use of their data. This involves entering an opt-out message and consumer identifier into a consent ledger at a peer node, syncing this information across all nodes, detecting the opt-out status at various nodes, and sending opt-out messages to relevant servers. Additionally, the method includes provisions for backup nodes in case certain nodes are down, ensuring continuity in the opt-out process. The patent also includes steps for auditing consumer data usage by an advertising server, involving validation of consent data across the peer node network. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive system for managing consumer consents and opt-outs in a distributed ledger environment, ensuring transparency and compliance with data privacy regulations.
