A system and method for secure storage and management of transitory data using a blockchain, comprising at least a callback manager, a context analysis engine, a vault manager, and a blockchain manager, which allows a user to create a data container to store data preferences, which encrypts the data stored within a data container, and which stores the encrypted data container in a blockchain. For each block, block reference data may is generated comprising the location of the block and its associated decryption key, and the block reference data is then encrypted with a second encryption key and stored off the blockchain in a separate database. The second key is distributed to involved parties to permit access to and reading of the block reference data. The block reference data is deleted based on self-destruct event triggers or when the involved parties are finished accessing the block reference data.
