Managing user information--data type extension

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium are provided for managing user information. For example, instructions for implementing a background process configured to manage a first set of data types may be received from a service provider. A data download that includes information about the new data type may also be received from the service provider. A request to access data corresponding to the new data type may be received from an application. Additionally, in some examples, the data corresponding to the new data type may be provided to the application based at least in part on interpreting the data download.
