DatatypePersonal data (PII)identifierDraft

This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Display name of an OpenStreetMap account. In element data it names the user who made the latest version of the object; osm2pgsql writes it to an osm_user column. Users can change their display name, so the numeric user ID (osm_uid) is the stable reference.
