Laravel user privacy

I am new to Laravel but I must say I really like it. I have a task in hand in which I have to create a DB for a user (like another web application) where the user has privacy settings as needed. For example, if a user creates a new post user, he / she can choose whether he / she can share between friends, the public, or make them private. I cannot solve:

Create column inside user table and get privacy setting

Or

Does Laravel have some class that I can implement?

What would be the ideal solution to the problem. I am currently using larval version 4.2.

Thanks for your help in advance.
