By way of an update, the LWG was asked about this specific point earlier this 
year. They’ve determined that the contribution heatmap may continue to be 
displayed publicly for several reasons and would be consistent with the OSMF 
privacy policy. However, a user’s objection to displaying their own heatmap 
would outweigh OSMF’s legitimate interests. Therefore, we need to at least 
provide an opt-out, but neither the privacy policy nor the GDPR would require 
us to make it an opt-in.

Somewhat relatedly, the LWG also asked us to more actively notify older users 
about the Terms of Use: #6610.
