As a logged-in user, it isn’t necessarily clear to me which profile settings are visible to other users or the logged-out public. Some settings like the [image](https://www.openstreetmap.org/profile/image) appear publicly, while the [location](https://www.openstreetmap.org/profile/location) only appears to followers. My own profile sports extra edit buttons that obviously no one else would see, which could make me wonder whether any of the things I do see, such as the social links, are visible to anyone else.

Each of these settings should have some kind of indication as to their visibility. For example, add “(shown publicly)” to the label for editing the image, and “(shown to followers)” to the label for editing the location. These indicators could link to the OSMF privacy policy for more information. In the future, this potentially could become a control for the user to decide whether to make an individual field public, if we determine that it’s necessary to give them that level of granularity.
