Abstract: A first portal is configured to receive user information that includes at least one of contact data or biographical data associated with a particular user. The first portal is further configured to receive user selected information that includes at least a subset of the user information associated with the particular user and identifies a particular database operator to receive the subset of user information. A core system includes a server and a database to store the user information and the user selected information. A first data connection is configured to transfer the user information and the user selected information received through the first portal to the core system. A second portal is configured to provide the particular database operator with access to a first data feed.
