Abstract

An apparatus and method for selectively revealing user data. User data may be stored on an immutable sequential listing and accessed through the immutable sequential listing. Processor of apparatus is configured to receive user-associated data to be stored in a resource data storage system. Processor is configured to sort the user-associated data into data sets and assigned an identifier to each data set. Identifier may be related to job history, education history, volunteer history, or the like. Processor is configured to receive a request to reveal data from a third-party and transmit data set to the requestor. Third party and data in data sets may be verified and validated.

Claims (32)

1. An apparatus for selectively revealing data, the apparatus comprising:

at least a processor; and

a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to:

receive, from a user, a set of user-associated data to be stored in a resource data storage system, wherein the user-associated data comprises at least a do not reveal list;

select an identifier from a plurality of identifiers associated with the user as a function of the user-associated data, wherein each identifier of the plurality of identifiers is linked to a data set of a plurality of data sets;

receive, from a third party, a request comprising a third-party identifier to selectively reveal a data set of the user-associated data using the identifier, wherein the request includes an authorization token cryptographically linked to the identifier;

validate the third party as a function of the third-party identifier and the at least a do not reveal list, wherein validating the third party comprises using a third-party validator device having a biometric reader configured to receive biometric datum from the third party; and

transmit the data set to the third party associated with the request as a function of the identifier and the validation.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the resource data storage apparatus comprises an immutable sequential listing.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein selecting the identifier further comprises selecting the identifier as a function of the user-associated data and a machine-learning module.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , further configured to determine the identifiers associated with a user using a classifier.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to split the user-associated data into separate data sets.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the data set is further configured to be stored in an immutable sequential listing.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the data set is validated using cryptography.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to verify the identity of the third party.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the data set is configured to be sent electronically to a requester.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is communicatively connected to a display device.

11. A method for selectively revealing data, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user, a set of user-associated data to be stored in a resource data storage system, wherein the user-associated data comprises at least a do not reveal list;

selecting, by processor, an identifier from a plurality of identifiers associated with the user, wherein each identifier of the plurality of identifiers is linked to a data set of a plurality of data sets;

receiving, from a third party, a request to selectively reveal a data set of the user-associated data using the identifier, wherein the request includes an authorization token cryptographically linked to the identifier, the request further including a third-party identifier;

validating the third party as a function of the third-party identifier and the at least a do not reveal list, wherein validating the third party comprises using a third-party validator device having a biometric reader configured to receive biometric datum from the third party; and

transmitting, by processor, the data set to the third party associated with the request as a function of the identifier.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the resource data storage apparatus comprises an immutable sequential listing.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein selecting the identifier further comprises selecting the identifier as a function of the user-associated data and a machine-learning module.

14. The method of claim 11 , further configured to determine the identifiers associated with a user using a classifier.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the computing device is further configured to split the user-associated data into separate data sets.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the data set is further configured to be stored in an immutable sequential listing.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the data set is validated using cryptography.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the computing device is further configured to verify the identity of the third party.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the data set is configured to be sent electronically to a requester.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the processor is communicatively connected to a display device.
