It definitely isn't a privacy violation to add addresses. Adding addresses is a great way to contribute because this is an area that's generally lacking in many regions. Addresses are necessary for people to find houses, send mail, etc., and are usually meant to be publicly-visible, so there's nothing wrong with adding them in OSM. They wouldn't work very well if they were private and kept from the public eye. :) You shouldn't any personally-identifiable information, though. For example, you shouldn't tag a house with the name "Joe's house", or add a tag like answered 30 Apr '22, 00:34  alester edited 30 Apr '22, 00:34 2 Just to be clear:

If you're an Android user, StreetComplete is great for addresses of the buildings are already traced.
