I wasn't aware of this. I also just went to check but there is no mention on either the upload page or the wiki page for help the upload page links to about what the public/private option means or the ramifications.

I didn't dig any further, but this seems like a pretty bad way to handle possibly sensitive data from users. I was under the assumption that it meant only you would be able to see the traces in any editors that downloaded/shows the GPS trace.

I originally had uploaded GPX files to then use them in potlatch but have since removed them for privacy reasons until I can sort out a batch processor for them.
