  • Systems and methods for use in managing access to user profiles, and content blocks included therein
    Patent number: 11159532
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in implementing access controls to content blocks of a user profile associated with a user. One exemplary system includes an access engine configured to receive an access command from a user, via a communication device, to access the user profile. The access command includes a designation of at least one the content blocks for access by a provider, an identity of the provider, and a duration of the access. The access engine is configured to also modify a permission associated with the designated content block(s) in relation to the provider to permit the access by the provider, and to expose the content block(s) to the provider, thereby granting the access for the provider to the content block(s). The access engine is configured to further terminate the access of the provider to the content block(s) when the duration of the access expires.
