If I were the author of this project I wouldn't like to share my name just like that. I don't know, perhaps it's just me, but what's wrong with this?

How do you expect me to accept a privacy policy of your website if two parties are not identified? Every legal(-looking) document begins by identifying the parties (not necessarily names, though a quick lookup on https://www.allabolag.se will get you the names of the directors). Also, https://gdpr-info.eu/art-37-gdpr/, p. 7 requires DPO to be identified.

P 7 says they need to publish the contact details, which presumably "You may also exercise your rights by contacting [email protected]" fufills.

Also, their privacy policy does begin by listing one of the parties as the Swedish nonprofit organization Libera Chat.

I guess you are right.

> Swedish nonprofit organization Libera Chat

Which could not be found in the national registry. Compare to https://www.kth.se/en/om/kontakt/kontakt-kth-1.1947 which promptly resolves to https://www.allabolag.se/2021003054/kungliga-tekniska-hogsko...

The registry is likely just standard bureaucracy, I think most of this has happened over the past week or so.

Maybe you are right there as well, but the Privacy page says "This page was last updated 2021-04-24." That made me post the HN comment in the first place, as I think the information gets updated pretty fast in Sweden.
