> It's information that people voluntarily choose to disclose - if they don't want to disclose then just don't add it!

That's not the problem, it needs to be a) disclosed to the users in the privacy policy what the OSMF does with the information, aka stored in the database etc. and b) disclosed that it is displayed publicly (including via the public API), aka not just to other logged in OSM users (which is likely why most people added it in the first place, except for companies doing SEO). 

Or put differently, the OSMF needs to provide the users with enough information that they can make an informed decision on if it makes sense for them to add the information.

PS: yes this is different from the heatmap issue in that it is at least nominally opt-in, which the heatmap isn't.
