1. A method for polling concordance of a user of a mobile radio terminal of a mobile radio network with transmission of the user positional data to a poller, comprising:
- in a case of an inquiry of a poller relating to a position of the mobile radio terminal, prior to a forwarding of polling data from the inquiry to an exchange of the mobile radio network, supplementing the polling data by a specification stipulated for the poller, on a basis of which it can be determined at least whether consent of the mobile radio terminal is to be obtained for forwarding the mobile radio terminal position to the poller;
in a case where the specification stipulates that consent is to be obtained, sending a request for declaring the consent by the exchange to the mobile radio terminal; and
prior to a transmission of the position of the terminal to the poller, checking on the basis of predetermined stored conditions whether the position is to be sent to the poller.
