Personalized large language models (LLMs) increasingly rely on profile-conditioned inference, pairing public requests with rich, user-specific facts. This paradigm exposes the user profile itself, together with the user's explicit sharing preferences. We introduce Profile-DP, a policy-aware local differential privacy framework designed specifically for user-profile release in personalized LLM inference. Profile-DP provably bounds the release of user-withheld facts while treating public instructions, profile schemas, and authorized facts as public side information. By generating a privatized profile that composes with the public instruction prior to answer generation, our framework decouples formal privacy guarantees from downstream model behavior. We develop two finite-domain mechanisms satisfying Profile-DP: DP-SLOT independently perturbs protected attributes, while DP-BLOCK uses public semantic decisions to coordinate their release and jointly sample related attributes. A positive, public compatibility prior connects these attributes while preserving a profile-level privacy bound. On PEEP, DP-BLOCK leads the utility composite among DP methods at all 13 structured budgets and is closest to the ideal privacy--utility point in 18 of 26 format--budget settings under our composite weighting. Direct measurements reveal complementary strengths: DP-BLOCK discloses less, while DP-SLOT retains more authorized facts. These results make policy-aware profile release a practical basis for studying privacy and personalization.
