I recently came across a listed and public project that includes personal data. I suspect the creator doesn’t realize the project is public and also listed. Is there a way to communicate that to the creator?

Thanks

Hi, we cannot expose users’ personal details to anyone so if the project description does not provide any way to contact the project manager(s), there is no way to do it.

However, if there are some TEXT or TEXTBOX questions in the project you could write your concerns as the answer to one of them. The project manager(s) when reading the answers will get the message.
