> At a glance, the [GDPR worklist](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GDPR/Affected_Services#Methods_for_user_data) lists this API method overall as needing to be gated by ToU acceptance. I’ll follow up with the LWG about the social links feature as it relates to the privacy policy (now with the API field, but even without).

Looking at the response from the LWG to the heat map issue, I'm fairly sure that they are not aware of the representations the policy makes (because all of the automatically generated content on the profile page is at odds with them). In any case I don't think there is a way around redoing the analytical work on the API and website if there was an attempt at compliance in earnest.
