This proposition is a result from the Moodle-Privacy workshop at the 4th International Moodle Conference in Graz/Austria.
The focus of the workshop was to enable Moodle users with restrictive data protection/data privacy policies to configure Moodle according to their needs.
The relevant privacy issues should have a basis in the Moodle role definitions. Some of them are implemented up from Moodle 1.7. To meet special needs concerning the access to log and personal data should be implemented:

  • just a few additional role definitions / capabilities (site level) and
  • options in the user profile page (user level):

A detailed description of the results is described in the following document and could help the understanding of the whole problem:

I can see that this issue is important for institution-specific privacy concerns.

I would like to add, though, that it would also be nice, even for institutions that are not concerned about privacy, to be able to disable the display of some user profile fields completely. Moodle 2.0 is set to address this for a number of fields apparently ( http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Customisable_user_profiles#Splitting_the_current_user_table ), but it would be nice to see a finer-grained control for all user profile fields. Ideally before Moodle 2.0 stable comes out

technically possible in 1.9.4, I do not expect any upgrade problems
