1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, at a user device, a matrix mapping at least one change in one or more physiological states of a user of the user device with one or more user actions having one or more offsetting effects on the at least one change, wherein the at least one change in the one or more physiological states is caused, at least in part, by stress;

    determining, at the user device, at least one private data sharing requirement of the user to facilitate the one or more user actions, wherein the at least one private data sharing requirement specifies private data sharing settings in a privacy profile of the user;

    upon determining based on sensor information of the user device that the at least one change in the one or more physiological states occurs, retrieving, at the user device, the one or more user actions and the at least one private data sharing requirement;

    modifying the privacy profile of the user at the user device to facilitate the at least one private data sharing requirement;

    implementing the modification of the privacy profile for a duration of the at least one change, until an expiration time, or a combination thereof, wherein the matrix and the privacy profile are specific to the user; and

    monitoring, via the user device, whether the one or more user actions occur, and whether the at least one change in the one or more physiological states is offset after the modification,wherein the privacy profile reverts to at least one configuration active prior to the at least one change in the one or more physiological states, after the at least one change is offset after the modification; and

    wherein the one or more user actions are external to and independent from the user device.
