Just trying to catch this before it explodes. Every new sign up
gets a link to our privacy policy before they actually start the
process, the document itself is, for OSM, quite clear on what to
expect and what not. What is an issue is that there are no
translations at this point in time.<br>

I support clear "OSM privacy statement" right to the front page of
OSM. Most of us in this list (advanced users) can assume what
private data he/she reveals by making edits, uploading GPX traces
etc, but for the million other contributors there should be clear
information (warning) what anyone from internet can see and deduct
from it (your edits may easily reveal your physical locations),
what our administrators will see, and what certain agencies
(including their contractors, ex-contractors and possibly next
employees of un-loyal ex-contractors) may get and deduct due to
legal and possibly secret obligations.

<div>Most possibly we cannot provide total end-to-end privacy (in
terms of anonymity), this would be too expensive. Users deserve
to be be aware of that.</div>
