Abstract: A method and system in which a profile associated with a profile owner is created, wherein at least a portion of the profile is not publicly accessible. A service request associated with the profile is created. A clearance request is received from a vendor, the clearance request containing clearance request data. The clearance request data is transmitted to the profile owner. A response associated with the clearance request data is received from the profile owner. The vendor is permitted to access the portion of the profile that is not publicly accessible when the response grants access permission to the vendor; and the vendor is restricted from access to the portion of the profile that is not publicly accessible when the response denies access permission to the vendor.
