Sensitive addresses

[JordanLyons]

Several programs and agencies in my area don't want their physical or mailing addresses possible. I see that this is a required field for several of the CSV's, and I wonder if there's anything that could be done to prevent that kind of sensitive info getting published on the database.

This is a known challenge for things like domestic violence shelters, human trafficking services, etc. Before 2016, I would have called it "an important edge case" but now i don't think that 'edge case' does it justice.

The simple scenario seems to be that there's usually a 'front gate' point of contact that is public, without sharing details about where people actually go once they've entered into relationship with the service.

I'm going to cc @kinlane on this (although i suspect that delineating between public and private addresses is not likely to be an issue we can directly address before 2.0). I'm also curious about how other referral providers handle stuff like this, and it might be an issue you could bring to the Google Group for discussion.
