1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the personal device including at least a position sensor, the position sensor generating position data protected from network access by default and which can be unprotected for access upon request from one or more network services through one or more grants of permission by an end user of the personal device specifically granting position data network access to the one or more network services;

    selecting at least one service at least partly related to the personal device at least partly based on the receiving an indication of establishment of a network connection with a personal device, the indication including at least one sample of data collected by one or more sensors included as at least a part of the position data protected from network access by default, including at least matching the at least one sample of data with one or more services to determine the at least one service at least partly related to the personal device to offer to carry out;

    presenting, via the network connection with the personal device, an offer to carry out the selected at least one service at least partly related to the personal device in exchange for at least one network access to the position data protected from network access by default;

    detecting an indication of a grant, by the end user of the personal device, of at least one network access to the position data protected from network access by default and at least one identifier of the end user of the personal device;

    facilitating performance of at least a portion of the at least one service at least partly related to the personal device; and

    accessing, via the network connection with the personal device, the position data protected from network access by default and at least one identifier of the end user of the personal device responsive to the detecting an indication of a grant, by the end user of the personal device, of at least one network access to the position data protected from network access by default and at least one identifier of the end user of the personal device,wherein at least one of the receiving, selecting, presenting, detecting, facilitating, or accessing is at least partially implemented using at least one processing device.
