Google Plus – Can Google+ Contacts Know Which Circle They Are In?

google-plusprivacy

Is there any way for my contacts to know whether I have put them in circle "Close friends" or "Annoying acquaintances" ?

In Facebook, groups can be public. I could not see that directly on Google+, but maybe some APIs have access to it? Or is it something that Google considers as a an important privacy point?

From Google's own page:

Who can see your circles

When you place people into circles, or when you share with your circles, we won't disclose the titles of the circles people are in. People in circles that you share with may be able to see some of the others with whom that content was also shared.
