System and method of reciprocal data sharing
Systems and methods are provided for implementing reciprocal data sharing in a data exchange system. Limitations may be placed on the amount of data an exchange member may access based on the amount of data contributed. The system may include determining a data contribution associated with a first member of the data exchange, determining a data access limit for the first member based on the data contribution, and providing data to the first member when the first member has not exceeded the data access limit. In some embodiments, there may be separate data access limits for each member of the data exchange, so that a first member may have different access limits when accessing data from a second member, data from a third member, and data from a fourth member. Further, the system may limit a requester to a type of data that corresponds to the type of data contributed.

identify a plurality of data records matching the one or more criteria of the data request;
determine a data access limit for the requesting data exchange member;
retrieve data access information associated with the requesting data exchange member, the data access information indicating an amount of data that the requesting data exchange member has previously accessed from the data management system;
compare the data access information with the data access limit to determine a maximum number of accessible data records for the requesting data exchange member;
compare a number of the plurality of data records to the maximum number of accessible data records for the requesting data exchange member to identify a portion of the plurality of data records that is available for access by the requesting data exchange member; and
provide the portion of the plurality of data records to the requesting data exchange member.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
the maximum number of accessible data records is greater than or equal to the number of the plurality of data records; and
the portion of the plurality of data records comprises all of the plurality of data records.

the number of the plurality of data records is greater than the maximum number of accessible data records; and
the portion of the plurality of data records comprises less than all of the plurality of data records.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
the portion of the plurality of data records comprises the maximum number of accessible data records.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
the data access limit for the requesting data exchange member is determined based at least in part on data contribution information associated with the requesting data exchange member, the data contribution information indicating an amount of data that the requesting data exchange member has contributed to the data management system.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
the data access limit for the requesting data exchange member is determined, at least in part, based on data share settings set by one or more of the plurality of data exchange members that have contributed the plurality of data records.
7. The system of claim 4 , wherein:
the data access limit for the requesting data exchange member is determined, at least in part, based on one or both of an industry type of the requesting data exchange member and an intended use of the plurality of data records by the requesting data exchange member.
8. A method of operating a data management system, comprising:
receiving a data request from a requesting data exchange member of a plurality of data exchange members, the data request comprising one or more criteria;
identifying a plurality of data records matching the one or more criteria of the data request;
determining a data access limit for the requesting data exchange member;
retrieving data access information associated with the requesting data exchange member, the data access information indicating an amount of data that the requesting data exchange member has previously accessed from the data management system;
comparing the data access information with the data access limit to determine a maximum number of accessible data records for the requesting data exchange member;
comparing a number of the plurality of data records to the maximum number of accessible data records for the requesting data exchange member to identify a portion of the plurality of data records that is available for access by the requesting data exchange member; and
providing the portion of the plurality of data records to the requesting data exchange member.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
the plurality of data records comprise personally identifiable information (PII).
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
the data access limit for the requesting data exchange member is determined, at least in part, based on data share settings associated with one or more sources of the plurality of data records.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
the number of the plurality of data records is greater than the maximum number of accessible data records; and
the portion of the plurality of data records comprises less than all of the plurality of data records.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
providing a notification to the requesting data exchange member indicating that the requested data exceeds the maximum number of accessible data records for the requesting data exchange member.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
providing an offer to the requesting data exchange member to access a withheld portion of the plurality of data records upon payment of a fee.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein:
each data record of the plurality of data records is assigned one or both of a relevance and a value;
the plurality of data records are organized by the one or both of the relevance and the value; and
the portion of the plurality of data records comprises data records within the plurality of data records having one or both of a greatest relevance and a greatest value.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:
receive a data request from a requesting data exchange member of a plurality of data exchange members, the data request comprising one or more criteria;
identify a plurality of data records matching the one or more criteria of the data request;
determine a data access limit for the requesting data exchange member;
retrieve data access information associated with the requesting data exchange member, the data access information indicating an amount of data that the requesting data exchange member has previously accessed from a data management system;
compare the data access information with the data access limit to determine a maximum number of accessible data records for the requesting data exchange member;
compare a number of the plurality of data records to the maximum number of accessible data records for the requesting data exchange member to identify a portion of the plurality of data records that is available for access by the requesting data exchange member; and
provide the portion of the plurality of data records to the requesting data exchange member.
16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein:
the data access limit for the requesting data exchange member is proportional to an amount of data shared by the requesting data exchange member.
17. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein:
a ratio of the data access limit for the requesting data exchange member and the amount of data shared by the requesting data exchange member if dependent on one or both of an industry of the requesting data exchange member and an intended se of data associated with the data request.
