A communication device (10) includes a transmitter (16) and a processor (12) coupled to the transmitter. The processor can be programmed to control dissemination of information of a user using a contextual profile (23 or 52, 54, or 56) for at least one recipient of the user, monitor a user's situational context (58), and transmit information (such as the user's current location) to the at least one recipient if the user's situational context matches the contextual profile for the recipient (102) The processor can monitor the user's situational context by monitoring (104) at least one among the user's location, a current time, and a current date (106). Optionally, the processor can also monitor an application in use at the communication device. The communication device can further include a GPS receiver (27) and the processor monitors the user's situational context by monitoring a user's location using GPS data from the GPS receiver.
