It seems like a lot of organizations are using custom fields to track whether contacts want their donation information shared publicly. Would it be useful to add a donor privacy flag to contact privacy settings, similar to "Do not sms?" It could be something like "Do not share donation information."

Wondering whether the 'do not share' donation information belongs on the contact record, the contribution record or both. For personal campaign page related contributions (PCP soft credits) we have a 'display in honor roll' property which controls whether the contribution is shared in the fundraisers honor roll. Seems like donors might want some contributions public and others not - but I don't have enough explicit experience with this to know if that's common.
