1. What is it?
2. Why do we need it?

I find privacy an inherently problematic concept and I can see all
sorts of problems evolving from declaring or setting up something as
private. I'm not saying there should be no trace of privacy but I do
think talking about this theme is very important.
Happy to clarify more if needed.

I think it would be relevant to create such a page on the site (maybe
I missed it, I'm catching up at the moment. Main reason for private
data would be to avoid attracting misintentionned people with amounts
of money, from what I gather. Oh, and I was once identity spoofed.
Apart from that, I see this as a personal decision and respect this,
though I don't understand much its purpose.
