Abstract

A provider of a first network-based service provides a list of user data for users of the first network-based service to a provider of a second network-based service. The users associated with the list of user data access results of the one or more identity monitoring services from the first network-based service, the second network-based service, a third-party identity monitoring service, or any suitable combination thereof. Additional services are offered to one or more users associated with the list of user data. A user accepting the offer pays a fee to the offering provider for the additional service. Based on the user being associated with the list of user data provided by the provider of the first network-based service and the user paying the fee for the additional service, a portion of the fee is transferred to the provider of the first network-based service.
