No. An AppleID is a unique personal identifier, so each Apple service just sees the AppleID and has no way of knowing who is using it. There is no way to separate information or data, nor maintain any privacy if you share your AppleID with others. Everyone with the AppleID has equal access to all data associated with that AppleID.


Every person should have their own AppleID for their use of Apple services (iCloud, these forums, the App, iBook or iTunes stores, etc). As designed, AppleIDs were never intended to be shared by people.
