Hello @Viajante welcome to the Local Guides Connect community.
Correct, it is important to all users of Google Maps to understand, contributions are and should be public!
However, are you aware that some of our contributions may not go public? In your case, you posted 187 photos and 12 videos, but only 196 are public and 3 were hidden by the SPAM filter. This is not a very big number, but I suggest to keep track of those. For more information and tips see How to Get In and Out of Trouble: The Main post and ask us if you have any questions.
