Hello,
We are really sorry that you are not happy with this.
When we released that feature, we indeed saw some users not liking that, so we stopped the country to be set by default for new members. It is definitely not our intention to break our users' privacy. However, I wouldn't think that sharing the Country would be an issue. But we are listening to you, so we made a change.
Please blank your country and it will not be shared anymore.
Thank you for staying with us and we are very sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused to you.
Nuno
