I'd say that you should display < https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Labs_Terms_of_use#If_my_tools_collect_Private_Information...> *before* you collect that private information. It's true that email addresses are not listed in that page as private information, but EU-wide email addresses are private information so I'd display the warning nonetheless. Thanks.
