The current trend circulates around posting personal photos and other information on social network sites. Although this seems fun and is used by numerous youngsters, photos and information can be easily misused. In order to protect privacy and to have control over it, we introduce an algorithm. The algorithm first checks if the user has a valid original profile, then accesses information on the viewer and then displays the information which is related between the two. A higher level of privacy can be enforced by only displaying this common information between the two profiles.
