<p>I've uploaded <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/TheEditor101/traces" rel="nofollow">quite a few traces now</a> and have a suggestion to make the process easier to understand (especially for new users) and more transparent.</p>
<p>Instead of the whole "identifiable, public, trackable, private" category system, you could have check-boxes to enable/disable the details which these categories represent.</p>
<p>Example:<br>
[ ] Publicly associate trace with your account<br>
[ ] Publicly serve trace with ordered timestamps</p>
<p>In this way, it's much more clear to the user (I think) which privacy controls they have. You could still use the resulting combination to gives traces a category if required elsewhere.</p>
