Abstract: Modern services request personal information from their customers. The personal information is not needed only for identifying the customer but also for customising the service for each customer. In this paper we desribe an architecture for the delivery of personal information from the customer to the HTTP based service in the Internet. The goal of our approach is to simplify the use of services by helping the customer on providing the required personal information. We also introduce methods for the customer to control of his own privacy by providing notation to define required security measures for automated data transfer. In this paper we point out the weaknesses of existing approaches for personal information handling and propose an architecture that relies on a mobile device, such as customer's mobile phone, for storing the personal information. The service access relies on traditional desktop computers. The information is transmitted to the service on request via desktop computer that fetches the information from mobile device over wireless link.
