Methods and system for managing consent. Embodiments of the invention
identify a user in connection with an application or service that
requests to use selected information associated with the user according
to a predefined policy. After determining whether the user previously
granted permission to use the selected information according to the
policy, the invention can notify the user if a change has been made to
the policy since the user previously granted permission for the
application to use the selected information and obtain re-consent. Other
aspects of the invention are directed to computer-readable media for use
with authentication, notification, and re-consent.
