1. A system, comprising:
- circuitry for accepting a request for personal information, the request for personal information accepted in association with an online transaction initiated by a user;
circuitry for evaluating a total cost of the online transaction, including at least circuitry for parsing at least some markup language code representing a checkout page of the online transaction to identify, via the parsing, a symbol associated with currency and to retrieve a value associated with and displayable adjacent to the symbol associated with currency, the value presumed to represent the total cost associated with the online transaction;
circuitry for determining a number of elements of personal information relating to the user to expose at least partly based on the circuitry for evaluating the total cost;
circuitry for selecting a persona from at least two stored personas associated with the user at least partly based on the circuitry for determining the number of elements, the persona and the number of elements of personal information to expose selected to prevent gratuitous disclosure of at least some personal information relating to the user in view of the total cost associated with the online transaction; and
circuitry for presenting the persona selected from the at least two stored personas responsive to the request for personal information.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, computer program products, devices and systems are described that carry out accessing at least one persona that includes a unique identifier that is at least partly based on a first user'"'"'s device-identifier data and the first user'"'"'s network-participation data; verifying the persona by comparing the first user'"'"'s device-identifier data and the first user'"'"'s network-participation data of the unique identifier to a second user'"'"'s device-identifier data and the second user'"'"'s network-participation data; and presenting the persona in response to a request for personal information.

10. A computer program product, comprising:
at least one non-transitory signal-bearing medium including at least; one or more instructions for accepting a request for personal information, the request for personal information accepted in association with an online transaction initiated by a user; one or more instructions for evaluating a total cost of the online transaction, including at least one or more instructions for parsing at least some markup language code representing a checkout page of the online transaction to identify, via the parsing, a symbol associated with currency and to retrieve a value associated with and displayable adjacent to the symbol associated with currency, the value presumed to represent the total cost associated with the online transaction; one or more instructions for determining a number of elements of personal information relating to the user to expose at least partly based on the one or more instructions for evaluating the total cost; one or more instructions for selecting a persona from at least two stored personas associated with the user at least partly based on the one or more instructions for determining the number of elements, the persona and the number of elements of personal information to expose selected to prevent gratuitous disclosure of at least some personal information relating to the user in view of the total cost associated with the online transaction; and one or more instructions for presenting the persona selected from the at least two stored personas responsive to the request for personal information.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a computing device; and one or more instructions that, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform one or more operations including at least; accepting a request for personal information, the request for personal information accepted in association with an online transaction initiated by a user; evaluating a total cost of the online transaction, including at least parsing at least some markup language code representing a checkout page of the online transaction to identify, via the parsing, a symbol associated with currency and to retrieve a value associated with and displayable adjacent to the symbol associated with currency, the value presumed to represent the total cost associated with the online transaction; determining a number of elements of personal information relating to the user to expose at least partly based on the evaluating the total cost; selecting a persona from at least two stored personas associated with the user at least partly based on the determining the number of elements, the persona and the number of elements of personal information to expose selected to prevent gratuitous disclosure of at least some personal information relating to the user in view of the total cost associated with the online transaction; and presenting the persona selected from the at least two stored personas responsive to the request for personal information.

12. A method, comprising:
-
accepting a request for personal information, the request for personal information accepted in association with an online transaction initiated by a user; evaluating a total cost of the online transaction, including at least parsing at least some markup language code representing a checkout page of the online transaction to identify, via the parsing, a symbol associated with currency and to retrieve a value associated with and displayable adjacent to the symbol associated with currency, the value presumed to represent the total cost associated with the online transaction; determining a number of elements of personal information relating to the user to expose at least partly based on the evaluating the total cost; selecting a persona from at least two stored personas associated with the user at least partly based on the determining the number of elements, the persona and the number of elements of personal information to expose selected to prevent gratuitous disclosure of at least some personal information relating to the user in view of the total cost associated with the online transaction; and presenting the persona selected from the at least two stored personas responsive to the request for personal information, wherein at least one of the accepting, evaluating, determining, selecting, or presenting is at least partly implemented using at least one processing device.
