Method and system for electronic delivery of sensitive information

Abstract

A method and related system obtains consent from a user for electronic delivery of sensitive information. The user operating a first computer accesses a web page on a server system to input the consent. The web page prompts for the consent from the user. Once the consent is received at the server system, the consent is stored and sensitive information is delivered electronically to an e-mail address specified by the user. Once consent is indicated, it is communicated from the individual's computer to another computer such as a server over, for example, a modem connection. Having secured the individual's consent, the additional sensitive information may be delivered to the individual's computer as, for example, a URL attachment to an email message.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system of obtaining consent to electronically send sensitive information to a user, the method comprising:
 under control of a server system:
 sending a communication to a first client system, the communication comprising computer executable instructions for obtaining a consent response from the user for electronic delivery of the sensitive information; 
 receiving the consent response from the first client system; 
 storing the consent response; and 
 if the consent response is positive, causing the sensitive information to be electronically delivered the user.
