Author here. I actually researched & published many privacy projects (https://krausefx.com/privacy), and deeply care about being in control over your data, and being explicit about what you choose to share.

- The data is stored in my own, private database, not connected to any service - Much of the data visualised on that page, is data many larger companies already have about you. I figured, why wouldn't I want to benefit also? - The data shown above seems very personal but doesn’t actually expose any real sensitive information. For example, disclosing your current location, your home address, or stores and places you frequently visits is sensitive and potentially dangerous. Even looking at the map of my movement data on my page, you won’t get any more information that what most people have in their public Twitter bio.

I made sure all graphs are non-interactive, and had all personal information stripped out.
