I had assumed the privacy policy implicitly said that any information
you give us that "isn't* publicly posted is considered private, but
this may be a slightly overenthusiastic interpretation!

Information you provide in preferences seems to be ambiguous - other
than email addresses, we don't say what we do with it or how private
we consider it, but we do imply that the only things we consider
"public" are your actual edits and associated metadata.
