Computer: Online Storage
info locker   (+3, -1)  [vote for, against]
store my personal info - not files or email!!!!

a way to consolidate all of my personal information... basically i don't want to have to change my mailing address every time I move... its a pain in the ass... i would like, preferably web based, a storage locker for all of information..

companies would then parnter and license the technology... kind of branching off of the current trend of online bill presentment...

a site that is closest to my above rant.. they are planning on doing that very idea but it looks far away... they will auto fill web forms etc... [efader, Jan 03 2000, last modified Oct 17 2004]

Dutch "digital vault" http://catless.ncl....ks/21.33.html#subj4
Basically similar idea: government-run "vault" for personal information [wiml, Jan 03 2000, last modified Oct 17 2004]

I would want to grant access to the locker only to those people and companies I choose, and ensure that the companies I lend my information to are forbidden to pass along access to my locker without permission. The USPS can look at my new address all they want, but I don't want my SSN available for public viewing. Obviously.

[+] Although this has been baked a hundred times over in the last 18 years this never gets old. It seems like a new data storage company pops up every 6 months and the masses come to sign up.
