Address Contact Detail Restrictions

This feature allows access to specific person addresses (of at risk individuals) to be restricted. For example, this would apply to individuals that have been granted the right to have their details to be kept secret by the government or otherwise have made such a request.

An access restriction can be applied to each individual address. An address with an access restriction applied can only be accessed by users that have been granted access to that access restriction. Addresses for which a user has no access, are not visible at all. There is no indication that there is a restricted address. It is possible that a person has multiple addresses, of which some are shown and some are not, depending on the access restrictions applied and the privileges of the user accessing them.

Example

User Bob is granted access restriction SECRET_ADDRESS. No access restrictions have been granted to user Pete. The following table shows which addresses they can access.

Person	Postal Code	Address Access Restriction	Accessible by Bob?	Accessible by Pete?
Mary	1234	SECRET_ADDRESS	yes	no
Jane	1234	empty	yes	yes
Susan	1234	TOP_SECRET_ADDRESS	no	no

Inference Prevention

When searching for relations/persons based on address, only addresses a user has access to are used:

• When user Bob searches for persons with postal code 1234, only Mary and Jane are returned.

• When user Pete searches for persons with postal code 1234, only Jane is returned.

These restrictions do not apply when relations/persons are searched for without any address search criteria.

Addresses of organizations are not protected.
