Claim Text:
1. A method for controlling access of a consumer to personal data of a user, comprising: collecting information about the consumer of personal data, wherein the collected information comprises at least one of a plurality of elements including service usage parameters associated with the consumer, statistical data associated with the consumer, and security incidents involving the consumer; comparing, by a hardware processor, the collected information with one or more templates to determine a risk that is associated with the consumer, wherein each template includes a set of criteria corresponding to at least two of the plurality of elements, each criterion is assigned a numeric value and a weighting factor based on the collected information, and the risk corresponds to a summation of the numeric value and weighting factor of each criterion; setting, based on the determined risk, by the hardware processor, consumer access parameters for the consumer to access the personal data of the user; controlling, by the hardware processor, access of the consumer to the personal data of the user based on the consumer access parameters; automatically modifying the consumer access parameters upon detecting that the summation exceeds a selected range of a defined threshold value; and notifying the user, without modifying the consumer access parameters, of the risk upon detecting that the summation does not exceed the selected range of the defined threshold value.
