If you decide to contribute there, it's quite clear that all the information is public. I mean you can see how the website is structured and what kind of information can be found at each entry.

Additionally, the github states the following about the protondb data: "Data exports from ProtonDB.com released under ODbL" - see here: https://github.com/bdefore/protondb-data

When you post a review the expectation is that you're contributing to the site and can easily reverse this. Compiling everything in a database and putting it on github permanently is not part of the deal, and applying this licence to it without your consent is just outragous:

Database Contents License (DbCL) Summary: Waive all rights in the individual Contents of a Database licensed under the ODbL

If Facebook did this there would be massive outcry.
