Privacy Boundary
Privacy Boundary refers to the limits a person sets around what personal, relational, or intimate information is kept private versus shared within or outside a relationship.
What This Really Means
Privacy Boundary describes how information control supports safety, autonomy, and trust rather than secrecy or withdrawal.
It is closely related to Boundary Setting and Emotional Safety, as clarity about privacy reduces anxiety and misinterpretation.
Within a relationship assessment platform, privacy boundaries are inferred from patterns around disclosure, comfort with sharing, and reactions to overexposure.
The concept helps explain compatibility dynamics by separating healthy privacy from emotional distance or lack of trust.
Examples
A partner prefers not to share relationship details with friends or family
