> The OSMF privacy policy guarantees that contribution meta data will only be shown to logged in users https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy#Who_has_access_to_the_data

And this page says that metadata should be shown only to those who accepted the terms of use: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GDPR/Affected_Services . Some users will just never accept them despite being logged in. *Privacy Policy* describes the simplified/ideal end goal. If you want users to be able to indicate that they accept the terms, see #5706. 

As a temporary measure the heatmap can be hidden for non-logged-in users, if it's actually necessary. But then you can say the same thing about user edits page, user notes page and so on. And then you'll have a situation where all of this data is still available for everyone via the api and on some pages, but not on some other pages.
