How about this... it's the easy way to settle this whole thing.

"By submitting your profile to <whoever> you hereby allow this profile to be
displayed world-wide via the Internet (or something like that) for an
undetermined period of time"

That way it's only if the person wants to... after all, someone filling this
thing out is only filling it out because they want others to see it right?
