A system for managing data privacy comprises a database management system for storing data from a plurality of consumer database tables, with irrevocable logging of all access, whether granted or denied, to the data contents stored in the consumer data tables; a privacy metadata system that administers and records all data, users and usage of data that is registered as containing privacy elements; and a replication system that feeds the consumer access system with personal consumer data, maintains integrity of the consumer data and provides changes and corrections back to the originating database management system through their own integrity filters as well as a means of storage and the mechanism to provide input for changes in the personal data or privacy preferences. The system further includes means for managing consumer notification, access, correction and change of preferences for privacy or data protection in the privacy metadata system. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION To address the requirements described above, the present invention discloses a method and apparatus for managing consumer notification and access and a means of correction and change of preferences for privacy or data protection in a data warehousing system including a physically separate but dependently connected data mart.
The apparatus comprises a database management system, for storing data from a plurality of consumer database tables, with irrevocable logging of all access, whether granted or denied, to the data contents stored in the consumer data tables, a privacy metadata system that administers and records all data, users and usage of data that is registered as containing privacy elements, a replication system that feeds the consumer access system with personal consumer data, maintains integrity of the consumer data and provides changes and corrections back to the originating database management system through their own integrity filters as well as a means of storage and the mechanism to provide input for changes in the personal data or privacy preferences.
The method is supported by a privacy administrators utility and includes procedures for migration of consumer data from any state or format into a consistent and presentable state in the consumer access dependent data mart by establishing a database logical data model and physical database design in the data mart with all the tables, views and macros needed to reflect all aspects of personal data and its identifiers, dependently coupled for integrity to the base consumer database management system as a direct reflection of the tables in that system, extending database tables to store and retrieve privacy preference parameters for the data stored in the database table, the privacy parameters collectively reflected in a plurality of database views associated with the data, accepting personal data and privacy parameters from the data source, possibly including sources external to the data warehouse, storing the privacy parameters in the columns associated with the data, providing notification of and access to the data in the database table to a requesting consumer solely through a privacy metadata services interface in accordance with the personal privacy parameters
