The discrepancy is due to you still being able to login even though you haven't 
agreed to the ToS if you have an account pre-dating the introduction of the 
terms. The OSMF board simply never did its job to communicate that this would 
have to change and set a date for the change (for a while I sent the board 
regular reminders that this was still pending, now days I can't be bothered).

It was always envisioned that this would be fixed before the API and data 
access changes going active. With other words while the language in the privacy 
policy is technically not quite correct, at the time the assumption was this 
would just be a short blip.
