馃悶 Problem
This repository isn't showing/provifing any information _how_ this personal data is going to be used. Sure it's _open source_ but misleading new-comers to share their _personal_ information you who is admin of this repository should _also_ raise this question - or at least mention that.

Just saying that are you sure that new-comers really realize how they are exposing personal information for all to use - eg. spam etc.

Hi @tarlepp, No, there is no information about that.

We're not planning to use anything in Contributors.md or any purposes. It's just a place for beginners to practice the workflow of contributing. What's there in that file is not significant to us.

Now, I understand that someone can use all that data because it's out in the open. The only information there is their name and GitHub profile. This is out in the open when you sign up for GitHub.
