1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:

  • one or more privacy policies associated with at least one level of a computational environment;

    one or more computation closures associated with the at least one level of the computational environment; and

    a processing, by a processor, of the one or more privacy policies and the one or more computation closures to determine whether to cause, at least in part, an enforcement of the one or more privacy policies by issuing a request for one or more higher privacy capabilities or replacing the one or more computation closures with one or more lower privacy requiring computation closures when the one or more computation closures are transferred to the at least one level of the computational environment that does not have sufficient one or more privacy capabilities from at least one other level of the computational environment,wherein a combination of at least one of the one or more computation closures with one or more other computation closures is based, at least in part, on one or more parameters and the enforcement of the one or more privacy policies is based, at least in part, on the combination.
