Protect Your Privacy in the Social Web with LawDepot

LawDepot's new Trusted Friends application helps Facebook users protect their privacy.

Desert Hot Springs, CA (PRWEB) November 25, 2007 - LawDepot.com enters the world of social media with the launch of its new Facebook application. The Trusted Friends (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2411884585&ref=mf) application lets Facebook users make sure that only their closest friends can see their private, personal information.

The application has two functions. The primary purpose is to ensure that the user's private information is not shared with anyone other than his or her trusted friends. The second function is the one that makes the Trusted Friends (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2411884585&ref=mf) application unique--it makes sure that no one else shares the user's private information without his or her consent.

Trusted Friends includes a Trusted Friends Agreement, based on LawDepot's automated confidentiality agreement (http://www.lawdepot.com/contracts/confidentiality-agreement/). This agreement requires that the user's trusted friends do not disclose any of the confidential information that they will be privy to.

Part of the fun of using social media sites like Facebook is that users can reconnect with everyone they've ever known. However, many of these people are acquaintances, at best, with whom users do not want to share all of their personal information.

Trusted Friends allows users to connect with past acquaintances, without sharing the kind of private information which only true friends should have access to. With the Trusted Friends application, users can retain their privacy, without sacrificing the social networking features that make Facebook what it is.

Protecting user privacy is especially important in light of Facebook's recent announcement that it will be allowing search engines to access and index user profiles.

Using LawDepot's Trusted Friends (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2411884585&ref=mf) application, Facebook users are able to make sure that their private information remains private, while still having the option to share this information with their most trusted friends.
