All the policies and texts were created by or at least in conjunction with lawyers with expert knowledge in the field.

For the avoidance of doubt [the OSMF policy](https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy#How_can_you_control_the_processing_of_your_data_and_reduce_privacy_related_issues) says, in a subsection entitled "How can you control the processing of your data and reduce privacy related issues", "you can select a non identifying login name and change it at any time you want".

The privacy policy has been linked to in the initial registration screen for a very long time and additionally from the ToS (that you you need to accept for account creation) for a good 4 years (aka since the ToU were adopted).
