Everyone who signs-up starts in single player mode so you can see what your data looks like. If you choose to make your network visible to friends and co-workers all they will see is name, title, company, and how well you know them. That’s it. Just enough information to be useful, without leaving you feeling exposed.

Short answer; Yes and yes.

For example, you might want to block a former spouse, or an old boss you had a falling out with. It’s easy to mouse over that contact and click block. Or maybe your whole company wants to use this. We let you block your competitors from seeing any of your employees on the network. Or maybe it’s not about blocking people, but it’s about keeping a specific contact private. Let’s say it’s a doctor, lawyer, or celebrity you know. You can make that relationship private. It’s probably not a big deal because unless you’re got a familiar relationship, people won’t see it. And if they do, it’s one name among hundreds you have relationships with. There is no context revealed aside from the two orange, or three green dots.
