Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for independently configurable sub-profiles that can be used to express intent within a user profile. A sub-profile is a portion of the user profile that can be assigned an independent set of visibility settings from the other portions of the user profile. A user may add profile data to a sub-profile and select visibility settings for the sub-profile that define access to the profile data included in the sub-profile. Accordingly, access to the profile data included in the sub-profile is managed according to a different set of visibility settings that the profile data included in other portions of the user profile (e.g., profile data not included in the sub-profile). This allows user to make certain profile data available to a different audience of users, either through accessing the user profile and/or through search.
