There is a difference between retaining circ history (and OpacPrivacy might be
batter called PatronCircHistoryRetentionPolicy) and making  patron's
information available to other patrons.

As you know, I'm not a fan of increasing the number of system preferences
without due cause -- but in this case, YASP is called.

Katrin can speak more to the specifics, but my understanding is that European
data privacy laws are a Big Legal Deal, to the point that I feel strongly that
we should give weight to concerns raised by Koha users who work in those
jurisdictions.
