You can take advantage of privacy plugin and configure to view your profile for friends only.

The settings are on your website. In the upper right corner, where your profile page link is.

Oh OK so every member would have to do this themselves. I was hoping for a setting that automatically gives a certain privacy to every member.

Yes, everyone has to do that if he/she wants to.

Sad to say, this plugin is virtually useless. For example, if you have two or more photo albums and hoped to have one for friends, forget it. The Privacy plugin will make all your albums "Friends Only". You can't pick and choose.

For some reason, Oxwall has avoided adding individual privacy options like Facebook, Dolphin and Egg. My guess is that it was originally designed as a dating site where people are encouraged to show-off their photos. I recently came across a site called Tagged where people can put up profiles and make them private. How stupid is that? They expect me to ask to be their friend before they will tell me who they are!

Most people on social networking sites want to keep some material for friends only. It may be a photo of their kid throwing up (yuk!) or something that may offend some other members. Not only that, without it there could be censorship difficulties in some countries.
