The sensitive data within the first device is classified into different sensitive data tiers. A determination is made, by one or more processors, as to which tier level of sensitive data from the different sensitive data tiers is appropriate for sharing with a second device, where determining an appropriateness of sharing a particular tier level of sensitive data is based on a current contextual circumstance of the user of the first device. The appropriate tier level sensitive data is transmitted from the first device to the second device.
