  • Publication number: 20230262031
    Abstract: Methods and systems describe linking mobile applications to website providers using an intermediary database that is populated based on mobile application metadata in order to provide secure communication of user data encrypted specifically for given website providers. The methods and systems accomplish this by receiving, at an intermediary database, a first communication from a background application implemented on a mobile device, wherein the first communication comprises a first access point address and is generated based on a request, by a first access point, for first user information for use by a first provider, wherein the first provider provides the first access point. However, as opposed to simply generating a random alternative content for the first communication, the system performs an additional step to ensure that the alternative content is specific to the provider and may be used across all access points for the provider.

  • Publication number: 20230222613
    Abstract: Aspects provided may allow for the determination that a consumer has changed an address based on the consumer's online transactions. By obtaining corresponding data for a consumer for each online transaction and providing location data to a machine-learning model, which is configured to evaluate the likelihood that a consumer has changed addresses based on location data records associated with consumer online activity, the model may generate a prediction that a consumer has changed their address. Based on this prediction, a change of address process for the consumer may be initiated. Further aspects provide methods of obtaining the location information, methods of generating supplemental location data based on a consumer's in-person transactions, and training a machine-learning model.
