Description

CLAIM FOR PRIORITY None. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS Not Applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT Not Applicable. FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention generally relates to the field of data security and document handling, more specifically, to a system and method for providing access on mobile devices to information required by third parties such as government representatives, law enforcement officials, health care providers, etc, while preventing access to information not authorized for other parties. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The importance of data privacy in personal identification documents extends beyond individual concerns to encompass broader societal, legal, and security considerations. Implementing robust security measures and respecting privacy rights help mitigate the risks associated with the collection and storage of sensitive personal information. Personal identification documents, such as passports, driver's licenses, social security cards, vehicle registration documents and other documents, but not limited to_government-issued IDs, contain sensitive information that can be used to uniquely identify individuals. Ensuring the privacy and security of this data is crucial for several reasons including prevention of identity theft, protection of personal safety, privacy rights, financial security and legal and regulatory compliance. Government agencies often collect personal data from individuals for various reasons, and these purposes are generally tied to the fulfillment of their responsibilities and functions. Historically, personal data of a user was provided to agencies via a printed document. Increasingly, technology is enabling digital versions of evidence that is accessible on mobile devices. Although this has advantages such as reducing costs and impacts from printing, keeping information current, and reducing confusion caused by loss of documents remains a challenge. The risk of moving the personal data to mobile devices creates the potential for breach of privacy and identify theft. For example, when the mobile devices are unlocked to access the personal data, data not relevant to the approved personal data can be accessed without further authorization. Accordingly, there remains a need to address the aforementioned technical drawbacks in providing a system and method to display information of protected accessible data of the user while securing and preventing access to non-disclosed data. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The first aspect of the present invention provides a system for electronically communicating protected accessible data of a user to an authorized third party. The system includes a user device associated with the user. The system includes a processor communicatively connected with the user device through a network. The processor executes a set of instructions stored in a memory to perform the following: (i) presenting an interface on the user device that facilitates the user to provide the protected accessible data including a plurality of personal identification documents of the user, (ii) receiving the protected accessible data of the user through the interface and storing the protected accessible data in a database, (iii) generating an access code for each of the plurality of personal identification documents of the user, (iv) receiving an access request for the protected accessible data of the user from the authorized third party for providing a plurality of services to the user, (v) enabling the user to select the plurality of personal identification documents by checking boxes corresponding to the plurality of personal identification documents for viewing by the authorized third party, and (vi) enabling the user to provide the access code corresponding to the selected personal identification document facilitating the authorized third party to access the selected personal identification document through the user device. In an embodiment, the processor is further configured to register the user by creating a user profile and generating a unique identifier associated with the user. In another embodiment, the processor is further configured to verify user identification information utilizing certificates associated with the unique identifier of the user. In yet another embodiment, the processor is further configured to provide to the user and/or authorized third party, the plurality of services upon verification of the identification information using encryption. The access to the plurality of services is limited based on the user profile. In yet another embodiment, the interface is customized based on a region associated with a location of the user. The region determines a type of the protected accessible data to display in the interface for a respective third party. In yet another embodiment, the processor is further configured to store a history of user transactions with the authorized third party in the database. I
