This paper introduces a new information technology: ma³tch (autonomous anonymous analysis). Ma³tch enables virtual information integration to build a `dynamic networked collective intelligence' without infringing upon security, confidentiality, privacy and/or data protection regulations. It provides organizations with information and knowledge advantages. The ma<sup>3</sup>tch technology is empowered by a decentralized information oriented architecture: a `privacy by design' framework that uses distributed agents to facilitate decentralized but integrated information access, processing and analysis. It shapes a `virtual information cloud' between autonomous organizations that enables secure, integral and intelligent real time information analysis. Relevant information and knowledge distributed between autonomous organizations is automatically detected and applied throughout the network as soon as it emerges. The dynamic design principles allow practically any type of (cross domain) information to be virtually integrated: government, commercial, intelligence, law enforcement, financial, telecom, biomedical, compliance, etc., without infringing privacy, confidentiality, security or data protection rules and regulations. It advances both privacy AND knowledge beyond conventional limitations.
