4.4 Privacy

You can control how contacts and other people can contact you by phone or IM, and you can control whether
your contacts can see your availability information (whether you are online, one the phone, and so on).

You can set up controls in advance or “on the fly” (as phone calls and presence requests come in).

Setting up Controls in Advance

To set up controls in advance, see “Preferences – Privacy” on page 52.

Setting up Controls “on the Fly”

On an Incoming Call

To block someone when they are phoning you, choose Options > Block this Person.

The call is declined, and this person is added to your Blocked List (see page 52). In addition, if the person is a
contact, then “blocked” appears beside their name in the contact list.

You will no longer see incoming calls or instant messages from this person; they will automatically be declined.

To later unblock this person, remove them from your Blocked List. Or, if the person is a contact, right-click
their name on the contact list and choose Unblock this Person.
