Should I ever get into hardcore content and people would want to know how I play, they're welcome to run a duty with me and parse that, consentual n stuff. (This would also be a much more accurate representative info, considering my current stats are from me running duly roulettes sleep deprived at 1 am and such...)

Thanks for the info! Today I learned about that code from tomestone, didn't know it was available for fflogs as well. This would have saved me the effort of making an account and adding all my characters specifically for opting out of that... They really should add this to their FAQs, or make it more obvious there. When I looked up how to opt out, this wasn't mentioned anywhere. Question will be how this is going to work out when you hide your lodestone profile completely, but from what I know the tomestone people are going to respect that (once they figure out the technical ways to do it). I hope the other site will do that as well.

Maybe it's me being from Europe, where privacy is considered an important thing by law (see GDPR), but it always baffles me how little people think about privacy when developing tools like this. It doesn't matter if "you have anything to hide", it's personal data and simply nobody else's business unless you personally decide otherwise. You don't leave your appartment door wide open either when you feel you "have nothing to hide", just because you are not doing anything obviously illegal in there. No, you close it, because what you are doing isn't anybody else's concern.
Well, if you are applying in my static, we need to know your logs history so we can see how you managed past content (clear time)
