I just read the whole Nearby card. Why is "OSM privacy situation is a bit
of a mess?" OSM only knows that you're taking a copy of their database. No
secret there, no PII problem, nothing. You're going to be writing your own
tile set and serving them off your own servers using your own privacy
policy. So I'm confused as to why this question of "OSM privacy" is even
coming up.
I'm also confused about why you would even consider Google Maps. You're not
going to be hosting their tiles, their tiles will be fetched directly from
Google by users and they'll be subject to Google's privacy policy. Simply a
non-starter.

team is having a conversation with the folks at OSM and understand
if/how we can use their tiles/data.
