A mobile device generates one or more location history records based on one or more locations of the mobile device, each location history record comprising one or more points of interest and a duration at the one or more points of interest, receives an information request from at least one application, determines a subset of the one or more location history records that meet criteria from the information request, determines a level of permission for the at least one application based on the information request and the subset of the one or more location history records, and provides information associated with the subset of the one or more location history records to the at least one application based on the level of permission.

Disclosed here is a system that can obtain attributes of an advertisement, where an attribute has a continuous value, and a range of acceptable values is uncertain. The system can create a file including contents that when provided to a predetermined function produce a value of the attribute. Based on the file, the system can generate values corresponding to the attributes. Based on the generated values, the system can create the advertisement. The system can obtain a response data to the created advertisement and can fit a multidimensional function to the attributes and the user response data. Based on the multidimensional function, the system can determine next values and next ranges, where the next values and the next ranges indicate an improvement in the response data.
