1. A method for controlling access to information, comprising:
receiving, by a device of a user from a requesting device, a request to send information to the user, the request communicated via a decentralized identity associated with the user corresponding to biometric information of the user received by the requesting device;
determining, by the device of the user, to grant communications access to the requesting device; and
responsive to the determination, transmitting, by the device of the user to the requesting device, an identification of a second communication address controlled by the user, the requesting device using the second communication address to transmit at least one item of information to the device of the user or a second device associated with the user.
