I recently got a Pixel and installed GrapheneOS on it. I would like to add some places to the map. Is there anything I need to know regarding preserving my privacy while contributing?

Thank you for any advice.

Make sure your first edit isn't your home address for sure. If you just upload places you go to and your neighborhood someone could tie that to you
