Control access to your presence information in Skype for Business

"Presence” and "privacy relationships" have specific importance in Skype for Business. 
(source : docs - ms)

What exactly is presence information in Skype for Business?

Your presence information includes your availability status (such as Available or Away), a color-coded presence indicator (such as green, yellow, or red), your schedule, your location, and any personal status messages or out-of-office notes you added.

What are privacy relationships in Skype for Business?

In Skype for Business, privacy relationships control how much of your online presence information others see.
Each of your contacts has one of five privacy relationships with you, and each relationship gives access to a different amount of information. For example, Colleagues, which is the relationship new contacts are given by default when you add them, can learn more about where you are, when you’ll be available, and how to reach you than External Contacts but less than WorkgroupFriends and Family, as you might expect, can see more of this information than all the others.
The one exception here is that contacts you have a Workgroup relationship with may need to find you at your work site, so only these contacts can see your meeting locations and get your attention via Skype for Business even if you’ve set your status to Do Not Disturb.

This table shows who can see what:
