A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, via a first application, a request to connect a first data record associated with the first application on a computing device with a second data record associated with a second application on the computing device; establishing a secure data communication channel between the first application and the second application; receiving, via the first application, a request for transfer of data between the first application and the second application; and in response to receiving the request, transmit, by the first application to the second application via the secure data communication channel, a message comprising the second device token using a trusted link associated with the second application.
