Here's what the character's page will look like when the data is hidden. If it looks like this, you should be good. If not, then he hasn't toggled visibility correctly.
Though FFLogs can change their polices whenever so who knows what they can and will not do.
This is just blatant paranoia, I'm sorry. This logic is too big of a slippery slope to consider.

Oh I know the data belongs to the uploader
Then why were you talking as if the data belonged to the player earlier?
FFlogs have helped us greatly improve our play and make it possible to bring our friends along to enjoy as much of the content possible FFXIV has to offer despite their skill level.
I'm glad.
Not going to pretend to understand how FFLogs categorizes everything, I just do not see how the bottom of the barrel logs prove to be useful to the grand scheme of things, unless said player wishes to improve then being as they opted in they can use the tool to improve.
There's always going to be a bottom of the barrel. If you take, say, the bottom 20% and remove them from the scoreboard, that means a new set of numbers are now the bottom 20%.
I mean only use I see of being able to see the logs of those players outside of said player wishing to improve, or to scan players before they try to join a group.
Balance scanning. With FFLogs we're able to tell how much damage a job on average is able to bring at the drop of a hat. With it we're able to see Black Mage is in desperate need for buffs; we're able to accurately represent that at the moment Summoner is top dog in most content, and have the numbers to support that claim. This data is important in any dialogue we try to have with the developers regarding balance.
Though not going to lie I am on the fence when it comes to using a third party site as a means of joining a group, though I get the general idea and purpose behind it. No one wants to waste their time.
Yes. Your position on the fence is also understandable, but remember you personally don't have to do that.

Though I guess FFLogs does have a ranking system so by making it opt-in said ranks would shift since I guess it would not factor hidden logs.
Though less important than what I said earlier, yes hiding logs would make the ranking a bit weird.
