I know the "contact information" is just for the user and not public but I can guarantee I will have 100s of emails of freaked out members who will think that everybody can see their email.

is there and easy way to either

- have a note saying that this information is private for the boxes in the profile that ARE private

- have the left sides boxes that are private be a different color making it obvious it is private

maybe this was brought in earlier...

Contact methods are available in your profile settings, if you leave them blank it won't display it.

I found a better solution which is to edit the Language file and add (Private) to the Contact Information box...works

It doesn't seem to be private:

​Emails are not shown to other users.
