A machine-readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor of a machine for the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving ephemeral digital information from a source user;
• providing access to the ephemeral digital information to one or more recipient users in accordance with a time decay value associated with the ephemeral digital information;
• obtaining recipient status data corresponding to one or more of the recipient users;
• and
• modifying the time decay value of the ephemeral data to provide a personalized time decay value for at least one of the one or more recipient users based on the recipient status data such that at least one recipient user is able to obtain access to the ephemeral digital information based on their personalized time decay value.

A device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory device coupled to the processor and having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving ephemeral digital information from a source user;
• providing access to the ephemeral digital information to one or more recipient users in accordance with a time decay value associated with the ephemeral digital information;
• obtaining recipient status data corresponding to one or more of the recipient users;
• and
• modifying the time decay value of the ephemeral data to provide a personalized time decay value for at least one of the one or more recipient users based on the recipient status data such that at least one recipient user is able to obtain access to the ephemeral digital information based on their personalized time decay value.
