Client-side random: Simple random skewing (1-3km) without server processing. Most private option.
Privacy: Analyzes nearby buildings and population to determine safer skewing distance (2.5-5km in rural areas, 1-3km elsewhere). Prioritizes privacy over realism.
Uniform: Equal probability anywhere within the calculated range based on local context.
Plausible: Shorter distances more likely, creating realistic-looking locations but potentially less private.
Urban Snap: Fixed 50m offset for dense city centers where small movements are sufficient.
Note: Server-side options (Privacy, Uniform, Plausible, Urban Snap) send your location to analyze nearby buildings and population data via the Overpass API. This helps determine appropriate skewing distances - for example, moving you further away if you're in a sparse rural area with few nearby houses, or adjusting based on whether you're in a village, town, or city. The goal is to move your location far enough that it's not in your immediate neighborhood while maintaining plausibility.
