A proxy gateway is coupled to one or more wireless hand-held devices over a wireless
network and to one or more origin servers over a wired network. The proxy gateway
proxies requests and responses between the wireless devices and the origin servers.
The proxy gateway determines when private information associated with a wireless
device is needed or requested by another network entity, such as an origin server.
In response to such determination, the proxy gateway communicates with the wireless
device to enable the wireless device to present a user interface which allows a
user of the wireless device to dynamically control release of the private information.
