7 Access to and release of personally identifiable information
8 Disclaimer
General scope
This policy covers personally identifiable information collected or stored by the
Wikimedia Foundation (henceforth the "Foundation") on its servers in relation to
the Wikimedia projects (henceforth "Projects") and their communities.
Consistent with its Data Retention Policy, the Foundation collects and retains the
least amount of personally identifiable information needed to fulfill the Projects'
operational needs.
The public and collaborative nature of the
projects
All Projects of the Wikimedia Foundation are collaboratively developed by its
users using the MediaWiki software. Anyone with Internet access (and not
otherwise restricted from doing so) may edit the publicly editable pages of these
sites with or without logging in as a registered user. By doing this, editors create
a published document, and a public record of every word added, subtracted, or
changed. This is a public act, and editors are identified publicly as the author of
such changes. All contributions made to a Project, and all publicly available
information about those contributions, are irrevocably licensed and may be
freely copied, quoted, reused and adapted by third parties with few restrictions.
Activities on Foundation projects
In general, this Policy only applies to private information stored or held by the
Foundation which is not publicly available.
Interactions with the Projects not covered by this Policy include, but are not
limited to, aspects of browsing and editing pages, use of the wiki "email user"
function, subscribing and posting to Foundation hosted email lists, and
corresponding with volunteers via the Foundation's ticketing system ("OTRS").
7 of 15 12/18/2012 4:42 PM
These interactions may reveal a contributor's IP address, and possibly other
personal information, indiscriminately to the general public, or to specific groups
of volunteers acting independently of the Foundation.
Users may also interact with one another outside of Foundation sites, via email,
IRC or other chat, or independent websites, and should assess the risks involved,
and their personal need for privacy, before using these methods of
communication.
User accounts and authorship
The Foundation does not require editors to register with a project. Anyone can
edit without logging in with a username, in which case they will be identified by
network IP address. Users that do register are identified by their chosen
username. Users select a password, which is confidential and used to verify the
integrity of their account. Except insofar as it may be required by law, no person
should disclose, or knowingly expose, either user passwords and/or cookies
generated to identify a user. Once created, user accounts will not be removed. It
may be possible for a username to be changed, depending on the policies of
individual projects. The Foundation does not guarantee that a username will be
changed on request.
Purpose of the collection of private information
The Foundation limits the collection of personally identifiable user data to
purposes which serve the well-being of its projects, including but not limited to
the following:
To enhance the public accountability of the projects. The Foundation
recognizes that any system that is open enough to allow the greatest possible
participation of the general public will also be vulnerable to certain kinds of
abuse and counterproductive behavior. The Foundation and the project
communities have established a number of mechanisms to prevent or
remedy abusive activities. For example, when investigating abuse on a
project, including the suspected use of malicious sockpuppets (duplicate
accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior, the
IP addresses of users (derived either from those logs or from records in the
database) may be used to identify the source(s) of the abusive behavior.
8 of 15 12/18/2012 4:42 PM
This information may be shared by users with administrative authority who
are charged by their communities with protecting the projects.
To provide site statistics. The Foundation statistically samples raw log data
from users' visits. These logs are used to produce the site statistics pages; the
raw log data is not made public.
To solve technical problems. Log data may be examined by developers in
the course of solving technical problems and in tracking down badly-
behaved web spiders that overwhelm the site.
Details of data retention
General expectations
IP and other technical information
When a visitor requests or reads a page, or sends email to a Wikimedia
server, no more information is collected than is typically collected by web
sites. The Wikimedia Foundation may keep raw logs of such transactions,
but these will not be published or used to track legitimate users.
When a page is edited by a logged-in editor, the server confidentially stores
related IP information for a limited period of time. This information is
automatically deleted after a set period. For editors who do not log in, the IP
address used is publicly and permanently credited as the author of the edit.
It may be possible for a third party to identify the author from this IP
address in conjunction with other information available. Logging in with a
registered username allows for better preservation of privacy.
Cookies
The sites set a temporary session cookie on a visitor's computer whenever a
Project page is visited. Readers who do not intend to log in or edit may deny
this cookie; it will be deleted at the end of the browser's session. More
cookies may be set when one logs in to maintain logged-in status. If one
saves a user name or password in one's browser, that information will be
saved for up to 30 days, and this information will be resent to the server on
every visit to the same Project. Contributors using a public machine who do
not wish to show their username to future users of the machine should clear
these cookies after use.
9 of 15 12/18/2012 4:42 PM
Page history
Edits or other contributions to a Project on its articles, user pages and talk
pages are generally retained forever. Removing text from a project does not
permanently delete it. Normally, in projects, anyone can look at a previous
version of an article and see what was there. Even if an article is "deleted", a
user entrusted with higher level of access may still see what was removed
from public view. Information can be permanently deleted by individuals
with access to Wikimedia servers, but aside from the rare circumstance
when the Foundation is required to delete editing-history material in
response to a court order or equivalent legal process, there is no guarantee
any permanent deletion will happen.
User contributions
User contributions are also aggregated and publicly available. User
contributions are aggregated according to their registration and login status.
Data on user contributions, such as the times at which users edited and the
number of edits they have made, are publicly available via user
contributions lists, and in aggregated forms published by other users.
Reading projects
No more information on users and other visitors reading pages is
collected than is typically collected in server logs by web sites. Aside
from the above raw log data collected for general purposes, page visits
do not expose a visitor's identity publicly. Sampled raw log data may
include the IP address of any user, but it is not reproduced publicly.
Editing projects
Edits to Project pages are identified with the username or network IP
address of the editor, and editing history is aggregated by author in a
contribution list. Such information will be available permanently on the
projects.
Logged in registered users
Logged in users do not expose their IP address to the public except
in cases of abuse, including vandalism of a wiki page by the user
or by another user with the same IP address. A user's IP address is
10 of 15 12/18/2012 4:42 PM
stored on the wiki servers for a period of time, during which it can
be seen by server administrators and by users who have been
granted CheckUser access.
IP address information, and its connection to any usernames that
share it, may be released under certain circumstances (see below).
Editors using a company mail server from home or telecommuting
over a DSL or cable Internet connection, are likely to be easy to
identify by their IP address; in which case it may be easy to cross-
identify all contributions to various Projects made by that IP.
Using a username is a better way of preserving privacy in this
situation.
Unlogged-in registered users and unregistered users
Editors who have not logged in may be identified by network IP
address. Depending on one's connection, this IP address may be
traceable to a large Internet service provider or more specifically to
a school, place of business or home. It may be possible to use this
information in combination with other information, including
editing style and preferences, to identify an author completely.
Discussions
On wiki discussion pages
Any editable page can theoretically be the location of a discussion.
In general, discussions on Foundation projects occur on user talk
pages (associated with particular users), on article talk pages
(associated with particular articles) or in pages specially
designated to function as forums (e.g., the Village Pump). Privacy
expectations apply to discussion pages in the same way as they do
elsewhere.
Via email
Users are not required to list an email address when registering.
Users who provide a valid email address can enable other
logged-in users to send email to them through the wiki. When
receiving an email from other users through this system, one's
email address is not revealed to them. When choosing to send an
email to other users, one's email is displayed as the sender.
The email address put into one's user preferences may be used by
the Foundation for communication. Users whose accounts do not
have a valid email address will not be able to reset their password
if it is lost. In such a situation, however, users may be able to
11 of 15 12/18/2012 4:42 PM
contact one of the Wikimedia server administrators to enter a new
e-mail address. A user can remove the account's email address
from his preferences at any time to prevent it from being used.
Private correspondence between users may be saved at those users'
discretion and is not subject to Wikimedia Foundation policy.
On mailing lists
The email addresses used to subscribe and post to Project mailing
lists are exposed to other subscribers. The list archives of most
such mailing lists are public, and searches of public archives may
be performed on the Web. Subscribers' addresses may also be
quoted in other users' messages. These email addresses and any
messages sent to a mailing list may be archived and may remain
available to the public permanently.
Via OTRS
Some e-mail addresses (such as info-en at wikimedia dot org)
forward mail to a team of volunteers trusted by the Foundation to
use a ticket system, such as OTRS, to respond. Mail sent to this
system is not publicly visible, but volunteers selected by the
Foundation will have access to it. The ticket system team may
discuss the contents of received mail with other contributors in
order to respond effectively. Mail to private addresses of members
of Board of Trustees and to staff of the Foundation may also be
forwarded to the OTRS team. These messages and e-mail
addresses may be saved by members of the OTRS team and any
email service they use, and may remain available to them.
On IRC
IRC channels are not officially part of the Wikimedia Foundation
and are not operated on Wikimedia controlled servers. The IP
address of users who chat over such a service may be exposed to
other participants. IRC users' privacy on each channel can only be
protected according to the policies of the respective service and
channel. Different channels have different policies on whether logs
may be published.
Access to and release of personally identifiable
information
Access
Projects are primarily run by volunteer contributors. Some dedicated users
12 of 15 12/18/2012 4:42 PM
are chosen by the community to be given privileged access. For example,
for an English Wikipedia user, user access levels to Wikipedia are
determined by the user's presence in various 'user groups'. User group rights
and group members are reachable in every project from the
Special:ListGroupRights page.
Other users who may have access to private identifiable information
include, but are not limited to, users who have access to OTRS, or to the
CheckUser and Oversight functions, users elected by project communities to
serve as stewards or Arbitrators, Wikimedia Foundation employees,
trustees, appointees, and contractors and agents employed by the
Foundation, and developers and others with high levels of server access.
Access to and publication of this information is governed by the Access to
nonpublic data policy (http://wikimediafoundation.org
/wiki/Access_to_nonpublic_data_policy) , as well as specific policies
covering some of the functions in question. Sharing information with other
privileged users is not considered "distribution."
Release Policy on Release of Data
It is the policy of Wikimedia that personally identifiable data collected in
the server logs, or through records in the database via the CheckUser
feature, or through other non-publicly-available methods, may be released
by Wikimedia volunteers or staff, in any of the following situations:
In response to a valid subpoena or other compulsory request from law
enforcement,
1.
With permission of the affected user, 2.
When necessary for investigation of abuse complaints, 3.
Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or
bot and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical
issues,
4.
Where the user has been vandalizing articles or persistently behaving in
a disruptive way, data may be released to a service provider, carrier, or
other third-party entity to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist
in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers,
5.
Where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety
of the Wikimedia Foundation, its users or the public.
6.
Except as described above, Wikimedia policy does not permit distribution of
personally identifiable information under any circumstances.
Third-party access and notifying registered users when receiving legal process
13 of 15 12/18/2012 4:42 PM
As a general principle, the access to, and retention of, personally identifiable
data in all projects should be minimal and should be used only internally to
serve the well-being of the projects. Occasionally, however, the Foundation
may receive a subpoena or other compulsory request from a
law-enforcement agency or a court or equivalent government body that
requests the disclosure of information about a registered user, and may be
compelled by law to comply with the request. In the event of such a legally
compulsory request, the Foundation will attempt to notify the affected user
within three business days after the arrival of such subpoena by sending a
notice by email to the email address (if any) that the affected user has listed
in his or her user preferences.
The Foundation cannot advise a user receiving such a notification regarding
the law or an appropriate response to a subpoena. The Foundation does
note, however, that such users may have the legal right to resist or limit that
information in court by filing a motion to quash the subpoena. Users who
wish to oppose a subpoena or other compulsory request should seek legal
advice concerning applicable rights and procedures that may be available.
If the Foundation receives a court-filed motion to quash or otherwise limit
the subpoena as a result of action by a user or their lawyer, the Foundation
will not disclose the requested information until Wikimedia receives an
order from the court to do so.
Registered users are not required to provide an email address. However,
when an affected registered user does not provide an email address, the
Foundation will not be able to notify the affected user in private email
messages when it receives requests from law enforcement to disclose
personally identifiable information about the user.
Disclaimer
The Wikimedia Foundation believes that maintaining and preserving the privacy
of user data is an important value. This Privacy Policy, together with other
policies, resolutions, and actions by the Foundation, represents a committed
effort to safeguard the security of the limited user information that is collected
and retained on our servers. Nevertheless, the Foundation cannot guarantee that
user information will remain private. We acknowledge that, in spite of our
committed effort to protect private user information, determined individuals may
still develop data-mining and other methods to uncover such information and
disclose it. For this reason, the Foundation can make no guarantee against
unauthorized access to information provided in the course of participating in
14 of 15 12/18/2012 4:42 PM
Foundation Projects or related communities.
