Systems and methods for processing user activity data associated with a master user account over a period of time are disclosed. The method may include: receiving user activity data associated with a master user account, the user activity data collected at a user device over a time period; receiving user biometric data associated with the master user account, the user biometric data generated based on physical interactions of a user with the user device over the time period; identifying a matching sub-user account corresponding to the user within the master user account based on a comparison between the user biometric data and one or more stored action metrics associated with the master user account; and storing the user activity data in association with the sub-user account within the master user account.
