GENERATING TIME-BASED PREDICTIONS AND CONTROLLING ACCESS TO THE SAME

There is a need to accurately and dynamically generate a time-based prediction and control access to the time-based prediction. This need can be addressed, for example, by allowing controlled access to user information pertaining to a user visiting a facility. In one example, a method includes storing a companion user identifier in association with a public user identifier; receiving a request for a user status of the user; determining whether the companion user is permitted to receive the user status of the user based at least in part on the public user identifier and the companion user identifier; responsive to determining that the companion user is permitted to receive the user status of the user, requesting an aggregated time-based prediction for the user; and causing, the aggregated time-based prediction to be decrypted and provided as a response to the request for the user status of the user.
