Upcoming privacy control for JomSocial

When we started JomSocial, we built it around a few simple ideas. People want to share and stay connected with their friends and the people around them. When you have control over what you share, you want to share more. When you share more, the world becomes more open and connected.

Ok, it wasn't me who wrote that paragraph. That was some billionaire, somewhere. But, while sharing is a good thing, we understand that there are certain things that you much prefer to keep to yourself or share it, just among your trusted friends. 

Currently, JomSocial supports basic privacy level when it comes to your personal information. You can select to share all your information either to the public, site members, or friends. In the upcoming 2.2 however, we are giving you a complete control over every single detail of your personal data. For each custom field, you can now decide who you want to share it with. You might want to tell the world which country you're from while keeping your birthday to yourself.

Not only that, all social objects, such as photo albums and videos will also give you the same powerful privacy option. You will also have the option to allow or disallow other users to find you through email or name search.

This really is just the beginning, but I hope it demonstrates our commitment to continuously improve privacy aspect of JomSocial
