BuddyPress Profile Data Control 1.2.3

BuddyPress Profile Data Control is a WordPress plugin designed to help you manage privacy in BuddyPress communities. It lets you decide which members can view BuddyPress profile fields and user profile data based on user roles. You can also restrict who is allowed to edit specific fields, reducing accidental oversharing. This role-based control makes member profiles safer while supporting compliance-focused site setups.

By aligning profile visibility and edit permissions with your membership roles, the plugin supports clearer member experiences and more predictable data governance across your community.

Main Features

• Role-based profile visibility — Control who can view BuddyPress profile data depending on the viewer’s role.
• Role-based field availability — Decide which BuddyPress profile fields are available to different roles.
• Field-level editing restrictions — Restrict who can edit individual profile field values by role.
• User profile data protection — Limit access to sensitive profile information using role rules.
• Granular permission mapping — Apply permissions at the level of specific profile fields, not only whole profiles.
• Consistent member experience — Ensure users see and manage only the data your rules permit.
• Designed for BuddyPress structures — Works directly with BuddyPress profile field data and role-based permissions.
