Describe the feature/enhancement

While I do think it's cool to be able to see the stats and everything I would like to be able to turn off the ability of even admins to see someone else's stats -- even if it means disabling stats for all users. I use it for family and not everyone has the same opinions about reading material -- I don't want anyone to feel like they might be judged by what they choose to read / listen to.

Also it's a basic privacy thing -- I'm not setting up a server for a huge number of people, but there is no need for the admins to be able to spy on anyone.

This would not be as simple to execute as it seems, since the user will still likely want to see their progress on various books (so as not to have to manually seek each time). This would require converting the bookmark data to encrypted user data.

A starting point might be to just remove it from the UI if it's set, but I
do tend to think that if there is any kind of encrypted user data already
then this should be part of that, long term at least.
