I consider the country as recorded in ICLA. As sensitive. The information s not gathered for that purpose. In some parts of the world this is law.
Besides its not accurate. Many people don't live in their country of birth or citizenship and thus country of residence is not representative of anything other than where they live.

Our names and emails and other info are already displayed in Whimsy. Is the country info that sensitive? Please educate me.
