I don’t know as it is much of a privacy concen, depending on what you consider privacy I guess.

I have one test user that posts only in a private category.  
I have another test user that posts only in messages.

In both cases, the counts “leaked” to the Users page - as they also did to those users Profile pages.

However - except for the user, no other non-Admin members could get access to any more information other than the counts and Liked By on the Profile Summary  
They could not get to the posts the counts were associated with.

EDIT  
after realizing she hadn’t made any posts containing any links, she did.  
The post isn’t leaked, but the link is
