A method executed by at least one processor of a user's computing node, comprising: identifying the user, and obtaining the user's personal data profile that authorizes transfer of information from the user to a first computing node or not, based at least in part on a proximity requirement; determining that first information of the user has a first security status corresponding to non-confidential data and second information of the user has a second security status corresponding to confidential data, wherein the first and second information are stored on the user's computing node or on a remotely located computing node; establishing a first communication path between the user's computing node and the first computing node via a first wireless path, wherein the first computing node is a computing node presented for sale in a kiosk, or a computing node of the kiosk that is configured to couple to multiple computing nodes for sale in the kiosk; conveying the first information having the first security status corresponding to non-confidential data to the first computing node without the user having to supply a password; and withholding the second information having the second security status corresponding to confidential data from the first computing node based on the second security status until the user supplies a password; wherein the method further comprises: in response to determining that the user has previously posted the first information to a publicly accessible blog or a social media outlet in a manner that access is not limited to certain members, determining that the first information of the user has the first security status corresponding to non-confidential data, and in response to determining that the user has previously posted the second information to a social media outlet in a manner that access is limited to certain members, determining that the second information of the user has the second status corresponding to confidential data. identifying the user, and obtaining the user's personal data profile that authorizes transfer of information from the user to a first computing node or not, based at least in part on a proximity requirement; determining that first information of the user has a first security status corresponding to non-confidential data and second information of the user has a second security status corresponding to confidential data, wherein the first and second information are stored on the user's computing node or on a remotely located computing node; establishing a first communication path between the user's computing node and the first computing node via a first wireless path, wherein the first computing node is a computing node presented for sale in a kiosk, or a computing node of the kiosk that is configured to couple to multiple computing nodes for sale in the kiosk; conveying the first information having the first security status corresponding to non-confidential data to the first computing node without the user having to supply a password; and withholding the second information having the second security status corresponding to confidential data from the first computing node based on the second security status until the user supplies a password; wherein the method further comprises: in response to determining that the user has previously posted the first information to a publicly accessible blog or a social media outlet in a manner that access is not limited to certain members, determining that the first information of the user has the first security status corresponding to non-confidential data, and in response to determining that the user has previously posted the second information to a social media outlet in a manner that access is limited to certain members, determining that the second information of the user has the second status corresponding to confidential data. in response to determining that the user has previously posted the first information to a publicly accessible blog or a social media outlet in a manner that access is not limited to certain members, determining that the first information of the user has the first security status corresponding to non-confidential data, and in response to determining that the user has previously posted the second information to a social media outlet in a manner that access is limited to certain members, determining that the second information of the user has the second status corresponding to confidential data.
