Posts are not private. Posts are public.
Therefore, when a user posts any data, they are posting the data publicly.
When the user makes a mistake and posts data which moderators deem to be private data (for example email addresses), moderators generally delete or mask private data, which we have done here for a very long time.
The part of the policy which you quoted earlier was not related to the content of posts, except when a user requests their account to be completely deleted; and those posts which were posted by that users (all posts belong to the forums are are public data after posting), are reassigned to a different username (in this case "guest")
As I recall, all of this information above is discussed in the privacy policy; but if not, please let me know and where and what to add to the policy.
Thanks!
