If you provide input fields for deg/min/sec and the ones looking for privacy fill out only deg/min then the accuracy should be between 1 and 2 km. Needing more privacy you can round min to 5 or something like that.
If you provide some information in the input form about that fact, I think that would satisfy all needs.

I think this is an important point! Maybe we could have a
checkbox/field for "stealth GPS" or something in the database,
which would suppress, round or add an error to the output of the
GPS coordinates? We could include this in the online submission
form for the next time (and create two separate fields for
decimal GPS values to spare the time to manually recalculate
these deg/min/sec pairs... ;-)
