  • Patent number: 11711203
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining consumer eligibility for a gated offer using verification data from a verification source, while reducing exposure of the verification data, are herein disclosed. In one example, a method for a verification source comprises, generating a seed hash from a pre-determined data specification, aggregating verification data based on one or more data fields indicated by the data specification to produce aggregated verification data, hashing the aggregated verification data using the seed hash to produce hashed verification data, receiving hashed customer data from a verification platform, receiving a comparison request from the verification platform, comparing the hashed customer data with the hashed verification data; and returning a result to the verification platform indicating if the hashed customer data matches the verification data.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11334905
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically determining consumer eligibility for a gated offer while reducing data exposure, are herein disclosed. In one example, a method for automatically determining consumer eligibility for a gated offer using a hashed dataset comprises, receiving an eligibility claim from a requester, receiving credentials from a consumer, selecting a verification source based on the eligibility claim and the credentials, determining an eligibility status of the eligibility claim by comparing the credentials against a hashed dataset of the verification source, and transmitting the eligibility status to the requester. In this way, a verification platform may determine consumer eligibility to a gated offer using hashed data, without holding the underlying personal data of the consumer, thereby reducing data exposure of the consumer.

  • Publication number: 20210110450
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically determining consumer eligibility for a gated offer using a verification platform are herein disclosed. In one example, a method for determining consumer eligibility to a gated offer using a verification platform comprises, receiving an eligibility claim for a gated offer from a consumer, receiving credentials in support of the eligibility claim from the consumer, selecting a plurality of verification sources, comparing the credentials against a plurality of data entries from the plurality of verification sources, determining an eligibility status of the eligibility claim based on the comparison, and transmitting the eligibility status to the consumer.
