1. A method of communicating between first and second handheld wireless communication terminals, comprising:
- exchanging data over an established link between the first and second handheld wireless communication terminals, the second handheld wireless communication terminal being located within a wireless communication range of the first handheld wireless communication terminal;
determining a timing for emitting an alert by looking up a configured privacy level in a privacy level table stored in a memory of the first handheld communication terminal, wherein the privacy level table associates each of a plurality of privacy levels with a respective timing for emitting an alert; and
notifying, at the first handheld wireless communication terminal, a user of the first handheld wireless communication terminal of the exchanging upon receiving from a timer in the first handheld wireless communication terminal an indication regarding a passing of a predetermined time period from when the exchanging is completed, wherein the notifying is performed upon receiving the indication from the timer and in accordance with the determined timing.
