The updated privacy policy that was in work since late 2015 has now been published and is available here: http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy
The changes in detail can be viewed here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_Policy&type=revision&diff=1350102&oldid=1253512 One of the reasons for this taking so long were the necessary code changes with respect to the gravatar handling. Previously, starting October 2012, gravatars were turned on for everybody regardless of if they had actually created one with gravatar.com. We now check on initial sign up and every time you change your e-mail address in the OSM account if a gravatar exists and only enable the display if that is the case. Currently a script is working through the OSM database and executing the above test for existing accounts, it is roughly 2/3 through at this point in time and will take another couple of weeks to complete. You will notice a change if you previously hadn't turned gravatars off or uploaded a custom image in that the default gravatar generated by gravatar.com for your e-mail address is no longer displayed. If you are not concerned about the privacy issues for you and people viewing your profile you can get the old behaviour by simply turning gravatar support back on again. Simon
