The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the privacy settings allow information about the user associated with the third party application to be accessed by a school network of the user. 11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the privacy settings allow information about the user associated with the third party application to be accessed by a workplace network of the user. 12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the privacy settings allow information about the user associated with the third party application to be accessed by a geographic network of the user. 13. A method comprising: maintaining a user profile of a user of a social networking system, the user profile including information about the user and information about one or more connections of the user;maintaining privacy settings for the user for controlling access by other users in the social networking system to data sharable by a third party application used by the user, the third party application maintained by an entity distinct from the social networking system;receiving from the third party application a request for information about the user and information about connections of the user, wherein the third party application is configured to share the requested information about the user with one or more other users who are connected to the user in the social networking system;determining by a processor device whether the privacy settings for the user allow a second user of the social networking system access to the data associated with the third party application, the request for information about the user responsive to use of the third party application by the second user; andcommunicating the privacy settings for the user to the third party application to allow the requested information about the user and the requested information about connections of the user to be provided to the second user in conjunction with use of the third party application by the second user, if the privacy settings for the user allow the second user access to the data associated with the third party application.
