Although the question posed to the LWG only cited the GDPR, the decision also makes reference to portions of the privacy policy, including but not limited to “facilitating the communication between OpenStreetMap contributors”. It also considers the heatmap to be a presentation of information already available via the profile that doesn’t present a heightened privacy risk compared to other information there.

To be clear, I’m just going off of what has been communicated to me and not attempting to put words in the LWG’s mouth. I can try to relate your concerns back to them, but if you believe you have information they didn’t consider, it might be easier to reach out to them directly.

To reiterate https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/5804#issuecomment-2726753639, regardless of the fate of this option, I’d also be interested in a more direct way of accomplishing some of what this heatmap apparently facilitates, such as a more discreet indicator of whether someone’s activity is generally trending up or down these days. I think approaching the profile design from the standpoint of user experience, rather than legal compliance, would actually open up more possibilities for addressing the sentiments here.
