&lt;!--T:2--&gt;
These guidelines are intended for parties (such as law enforcement, government agencies or administrative bodies, or civil litigants) who wish to request disclosure of nonpublic information regarding Wikimedia users or their content or activities on the Wikimedia projects. These guidelines are also made available for Wikimedia users who are curious about our internal policies and procedures for dealing with requests for nonpublic user information.

=== About the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedia Projects === &lt;!--T:3--&gt;

&lt;/translate&gt;[[&lt;translate&gt;File:What does the Wikimedia Foundation do – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm&lt;/translate&gt;|frameless|400px|none]]&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
The [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1= }}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Foundation]] (&quot;WMF&quot; or &quot;We&quot;) is the nonprofit organization that hosts the Wikimedia projects and encourages the development and distribution of freely-licensed, educational content on the Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia [&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; projects], such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Main Page}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikipedia]], are open and collaborative [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wiki}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|wiki]]-based projects that may be accessed and contributed to by anyone in the world.

&lt;/translate&gt;[[&lt;translate&gt;File:What is the Wikimedia free knowledge movement – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm&lt;/translate&gt;|frameless|400px|none]]&lt;translate&gt;

=== Our Values &amp; What They Mean For Your Request === &lt;!--T:5--&gt;

&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
Freedom of speech and access to information are core Wikimedia [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Wikimedia Foundation Guiding Principles&lt;/tvar&gt;|values]]. User privacy, and sometimes [&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity&lt;/tvar&gt; anonymity],&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; The Supreme Court of the United States once stated: &quot;Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.&quot; McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 514 U.S. 334 (1995). To read more about the importance of anonymity, see &lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;[//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity www.eff.org/issues/anonymity]&lt;/tvar&gt;.&lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt; is necessary to give life to these values and to protect those that have trusted us with their personal information. This means:
&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:7--&gt; We expect requesting parties, like you, to meet our requirements below (including all legal requirements) when making a request for any of our users' nonpublic information.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:8--&gt; We will examine &lt;u&gt;every&lt;/u&gt; request that we receive to ensure their compliance with our requirements below and applicable law to the Wikimedia Foundation (which usually means United States (&quot;US&quot;) law, but may include other countries when jurisdiction is found based on our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination&lt;/tvar&gt;|applicable law determination]]).&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:9--&gt; Absent a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury), we will refuse to disclose nonpublic user information if we believe that we are not legally required to disclose the requested information.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:10--&gt; When possible, we will notify our users of your request so that they have the opportunity to legally challenge it if they do not believe your request is legally valid.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
=== Types of Nonpublic Information We May Have === &lt;!--T:11--&gt;
&lt;/translate&gt;
[[File:User contributions- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; User contributions&lt;/translate&gt;]]
[[File:View History- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; View History tab&lt;/translate&gt;]]
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:14--&gt;
Due to the inherent transparency of wikis, '''most information on the Wikimedia projects is public'''. For example, information relating to a particular user's edits on the Wikimedia projects&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; By clicking &quot;User contributions&quot; under &quot;Toolbox&quot; on a particular user's [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wikipedia:User pages}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|userpage]], you can view the history of that user's edits.&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or information relating to the editing activity on a particular article or page&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; By clicking &quot;View history&quot;, you can view a timeline of the contributions and edits made on that particular article or page.&lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt; is publicly available. You do not need a Wikimedia project account to view this information.

&lt;!--T:15--&gt;
'''The Wikimedia Foundation actually collects very little nonpublic information (if any) that could be used to identify its users offline and it retains that information for a limited amount of time.''' Some of the limited nonpublic information we store is collected automatically (such as the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|IP address}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|IP address]] of the user's device or their [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Proxy server}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|proxy server]] and [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;{{lwp|User agent}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|user agent]] information), while other nonpublic information is optionally provided by the user (such as an email address). Regardless, nonpublic information that includes personally identifying information about any particular user is kept for a short amount of time. You can learn more about the types of information we collect and how long we retain that information in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Privacy Policy]] and [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines&lt;/tvar&gt;|Data Retention Guidelines]].

&lt;!--T:16--&gt;
Please note that users can use the Wikimedia projects anonymously. Even if a user has registered an account with us, he or she is not required to provide personally identifying information such as a real name, email address, physical address, date of birth, or phone number. And if they have provided any of this information, the information we have may not correspond to a real person as the user may have provided fake or pseudonymous information.

=== What We Require From You === &lt;!--T:17--&gt;

&lt;!--T:18--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation only discloses nonpublic user information in accordance with our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use&lt;/tvar&gt;|Terms of Use]], [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Privacy Policy]], and applicable law, including the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Electronic Communications Privacy Act}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Electronic Communications Privacy Act]] (&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;[//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-119 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2522]&lt;/tvar&gt;, &lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;[//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-121 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701-2711]&lt;/tvar&gt;, and &lt;tvar name=&quot;6&quot;&gt;[//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-II/chapter-206 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121-3127]&lt;/tvar&gt;).

&lt;!--T:19--&gt;
If you choose to submit a request to us, it must meet the following requirements:
&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:20--&gt; '''Reasonableness.''' It must be reasonable for us to locate and retrieve the information you request. We do not accept requests that would be unreasonably burdensome to execute.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:21--&gt; '''Specificity.''' Your request must be specific as to what particular types of information you are requesting and where it may be located. It must also at least specify the username of the party you are seeking information about -- and please note that usernames are case-sensitive. We do not accept general inquiries, requests based solely on real names&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; Users are not requested or required to provide a real name when they use our sites. They are only required to provide a username of their choosing and a password to create an account. If they choose not to create an account, they can still view, edit, and contribute to Wikimedia sites without an account. Therefore, it is impossible for us to search for records based on a person's real name.&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt;, or vague or overbroad requests. Please ensure that the requested information is not available through our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Main page&lt;/tvar&gt;|public APIs]].&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:22--&gt; '''Relevance.''' Your request must specify the relevance of the information you are requesting to the investigation or case your request pertains to.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:23--&gt; '''Contact Information.''' You must include your name; your mailing address; your firm or agency's name (unless you are representing only yourself); your direct phone number; your valid firm- or agency-issued email address (unless you are representing only yourself); and if you represent a law enforcement, governmental, or administrative agency, your badge or identification number.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:24--&gt; '''Timeline.''' You must include a specific deadline by which we must respond to your request. With the exception of emergency requests (described below), please bear in mind that we generally need a 30 business day minimum waiting period, so that we can properly notify our users and ensure that they have a reasonable period of time to contest your request if they choose to do so.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:25--&gt; '''Legal Validity &amp; Enforceability Under United States Law.''' Your request must be legally valid and enforceable under applicable law (as determined according to our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination&lt;/tvar&gt;|applicable law determination]]), not in conflict with US law, and be in one of the following forms:&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:26--&gt; A court order directed to WMF, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction;&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:27--&gt; A civil subpoena, which complies with [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_45&lt;/tvar&gt; Rule 45] of the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp&lt;/tvar&gt; Federal Rules of Civil Procedure] or the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;//california-discovery-law.com/discovery_act_outline.htm&lt;/tvar&gt; California Discovery Act];&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:28--&gt; A federal or US state criminal subpoena (grand jury or trial), issued by a US court of competent jurisdiction in connection with an official criminal investigation;&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:29--&gt; An administrative subpoena authorized by a federal or state statute;&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:30--&gt; A warrant issued under the procedures of the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp&lt;/tvar&gt; Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure] or equivalent state warrant procedures, based upon a showing of probable cause -- if you are a government or law enforcement agency and are requesting disclosure of the contents of any user communication, nonpublic user content information, or any other information where a warrant is required by law;&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; For the avoidance of doubt, we believe a warrant is required by the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/fourth_amendment&lt;/tvar&gt; 4th Amendment] to the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;//www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html&lt;/tvar&gt; United States Constitution], which prohibits unreasonable search and seizure and overrides conflicting provisions in ECPA. We believe that the ECPA needs to be updated so that equivalent protections are granted to electronic communications and documents that have already been granted to the physical documents one keeps at home or in their office. To that end, we are a member of the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;//digitaldueprocess.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Digital Due Process Coalition] to help in that effort.&lt;tvar name=&quot;6&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt; Please note that US law does not allow the disclosure of communications content to a non-US governmental entity, unless &quot;pursuant to an order from a foreign government that is subject to an executive agreement that the Attorney General has determined and certified to Congress satisfies section 2523&quot; (see [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702]); or&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:31--&gt; A request served by a US court of competent jurisdiction or enforcement agency under the procedures set forth in an applicable [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Mutual legal assistance treaty}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|mutual legal assistance treaty]], [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Letter rogatory}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|letters rogatory]], or under applicable law (as determined according to our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination&lt;/tvar&gt;|applicable law determination]]) -- if you are making a request originating outside of the US.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:32--&gt;
Absent a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury), we will refuse to disclose nonpublic user information if we believe that we are not legally required to disclose the requested information.
&lt;/translate&gt;
{{anchor|emergency-requests}}
&lt;translate&gt;
=== Emergency Requests === &lt;!--T:33--&gt;

&lt;!--T:34--&gt;
In accordance with [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702&lt;/tvar&gt; 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8)], if you believe there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury) to any person, and that we may have information necessary to prevent the threat from being fulfilled, you may request an emergency disclosure.

&lt;!--T:35--&gt;
In addition to the requirements set forth above, emergency requests should also include (to the extent you are legally permitted to disclose) the following:
&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:36--&gt; A subject line including the phrase &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE REQUEST&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot;;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:37--&gt; The specific information you are requesting and how it is necessary to prevent the threat from being carried out;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:38--&gt; The identity of the individual(s) or group(s) of individuals under threat;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:39--&gt; The nature of emergency;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:40--&gt; Why you believe it is imminent;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:41--&gt; Links to specific content containing relevant information (if any);&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:42--&gt; Any other information you believe will aid in our evaluation of your request; and&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:43--&gt; A declaration, under the penalty of perjury, that to the best of your knowledge, the information you have submitted is true and accurate.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:44--&gt;
The decision to grant a request for emergency disclosure lies solely with the Wikimedia Foundation. After evaluation of your request for emergency disclosure, if we have a good faith belief that there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb, we may provide the information necessary to prevent such harm (if we have and can recover it).

&lt;!--T:45--&gt;
If you have an emergency request, please email your request to &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;legal{{@}}wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; and CC &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; to ensure speedy processing.
&lt;/translate&gt;
{{anchor|childsafety}}
&lt;translate&gt;
=== Child Safety === &lt;!--T:46--&gt;

&lt;!--T:47--&gt;
We report any discovered instances we believe to be child pornography to the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.missingkids.com/&lt;/tvar&gt; National Center for Missing and Exploited Children] (NCMEC), including information brought to our attention through your requests for nonpublic user information. If your request has already been reported to NCMEC or relates to a case being handled by NCMEC, please include the case or report information in your request.

=== How to Contact Us === &lt;!--T:48--&gt;

&lt;!--T:49--&gt;
You may send your request to us:&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;u&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:50--&gt; Via Email&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/u&gt; -

legal{{@}}wikimedia.org

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:51--&gt;
Please provide a clear and concise subject line, such as &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;DISCLOSURE REQUEST&lt;/tvar&gt; - [CASE NAME] - DEADLINE: [DATE]&quot;.

&lt;!--T:52--&gt;
If you are sending an emergency request (as defined above), please email &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;legal{{@}}wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; and CC &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; to ensure speedy processing.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;u&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:53--&gt; Via Post&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/u&gt; -

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:54--&gt;
While we agree to accept service of requests by these methods for convenience, neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor its users waive any legal rights or defenses based on this accommodation. Please note that if you are seeking testimony from the Wikimedia Foundation or its staff, officers, contractors, or board members, you must serve such a request on our registered agent for service or process as we do not accept those kinds of requests by post or email.
&lt;/translate&gt;{{anchor|notifying-users}}
&lt;translate&gt;
=== Notifying Our Users of Your Request === &lt;!--T:55--&gt;

&lt;!--T:56--&gt;
We believe in transparency about when requests are made for our users' nonpublic information. This means that we will notify the user(s) affected by your request of your request and that we will report the receipt and resolution of your request in our transparency report.

&lt;!--T:57--&gt;
When we receive your request, we will notify and provide a copy of your request to the affected user(s) at least 10 calendar days before we disclose the requested information, provided that (1) we have contact information for the affected user(s); (2) disclosing your request will not create or increase a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; and (3) we are not otherwise prohibited by law or an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, such as an order issued pursuant to [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2705&lt;/tvar&gt; 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)], from doing so. If we are unable to provide information about your request to affected users because disclosing it would create a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; or we are prohibited by law, we will provide information about your request to affected users that we have contact information for within a reasonable period after the threat or legal restriction has terminated.

&lt;!--T:58--&gt;
If you are requesting disclosure of nonpublic user information that you believe requires confidentiality, please provide a legally valid and enforceable protective, sealing, or &quot;gag&quot; order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that we must receive notice of such protective, sealing, or gag order prior to the date the Wikimedia Foundation notifies the user for confidentiality to be considered.

&lt;!--T:59--&gt;
Upon notification to the affected user(s), the user(s) will generally be provided at least 10 calendar days before we will disclose the requested information (assuming we find your request to be otherwise valid), during which time the affected user(s) may attempt to quash or otherwise legally challenge the request. If, prior to the disclosure, we receive notice from the affected user(s) that he or she intends to challenge your request, no information will be delivered until that legal challenge is resolved.

=== Our Right to Challenge Your Request === &lt;!--T:60--&gt;

&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
We may, and reserve the right to, challenge the scope or validity of your request, on behalf of any affected user, whether or not the affected user chooses to pursue his or her own legal challenge.

=== Cost Reimbursement === &lt;!--T:62--&gt;

&lt;!--T:63--&gt;
We reserve the right to seek reasonable reimbursement costs for responding to your request.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:2--&gt;
These guidelines are intended for parties (such as law enforcement, government agencies or administrative bodies, or civil litigants) who wish to request disclosure of nonpublic information regarding Wikimedia users or their content or activities on the Wikimedia projects. These guidelines are also made available for Wikimedia users who are curious about our internal policies and procedures for dealing with requests for nonpublic user information.

=== About the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedia Projects === &lt;!--T:3--&gt;

&lt;/translate&gt;[[&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; File:What does the Wikimedia Foundation do – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm&lt;/translate&gt;|frameless|400px|none]]&lt;translate&gt;

&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
The [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{foundationsite|1= }}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikimedia Foundation]] (&quot;WMF&quot; or &quot;We&quot;) is the nonprofit organization that hosts the Wikimedia projects and encourages the development and distribution of freely-licensed, educational content on the Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia [&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;//www.wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; projects], such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Main Page}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Wikipedia]], are open and collaborative [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wiki}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|wiki]]-based projects that may be accessed and contributed to by anyone in the world.

&lt;/translate&gt;[[&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:65--&gt; File:What is the Wikimedia free knowledge movement – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm&lt;/translate&gt;|frameless|400px|none]]&lt;translate&gt;

=== Our Values &amp; What They Mean For Your Request === &lt;!--T:5--&gt;

&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
Freedom of speech and access to information are core Wikimedia [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Wikimedia Foundation Guiding Principles&lt;/tvar&gt;|values]]. User privacy, and sometimes [&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity&lt;/tvar&gt; anonymity],&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; The Supreme Court of the United States once stated: &quot;Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.&quot; McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 514 U.S. 334 (1995). To read more about the importance of anonymity, see &lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;[//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity www.eff.org/issues/anonymity]&lt;/tvar&gt;.&lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt; is necessary to give life to these values and to protect those that have trusted us with their personal information. This means:
&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:7--&gt; We expect requesting parties, like you, to meet our requirements below (including all legal requirements) when making a request for any of our users' nonpublic information.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:8--&gt; We will examine &lt;u&gt;every&lt;/u&gt; request that we receive to ensure their compliance with our requirements below and applicable law to the Wikimedia Foundation (which usually means United States (&quot;US&quot;) law, but may include other countries when jurisdiction is found based on our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination&lt;/tvar&gt;|applicable law determination]]).&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:9--&gt; Absent a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury), we will refuse to disclose nonpublic user information if we believe that we are not legally required to disclose the requested information.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:10--&gt; When possible, we will notify our users of your request so that they have the opportunity to legally challenge it if they do not believe your request is legally valid.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
=== Types of Nonpublic Information We May Have === &lt;!--T:11--&gt;
&lt;/translate&gt;
[[File:User contributions- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; User contributions&lt;/translate&gt;]]
[[File:View History- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt; View History tab&lt;/translate&gt;]]
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:14--&gt;
Due to the inherent transparency of wikis, '''most information on the Wikimedia projects is public'''. For example, information relating to a particular user's edits on the Wikimedia projects&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; By clicking &quot;User contributions&quot; under &quot;Toolbox&quot; on a particular user's [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Wikipedia:User pages}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|userpage]], you can view the history of that user's edits.&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt; or information relating to the editing activity on a particular article or page&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; By clicking &quot;View history&quot;, you can view a timeline of the contributions and edits made on that particular article or page.&lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt; is publicly available. You do not need a Wikimedia project account to view this information.

&lt;!--T:15--&gt;
'''The Wikimedia Foundation actually collects very little nonpublic information (if any) that could be used to identify its users offline and it retains that information for a limited amount of time.''' Some of the limited nonpublic information we store is collected automatically (such as the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|IP address}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|IP address]] of the user's device or their [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Proxy server}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|proxy server]] and [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;{{lwp|User agent}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|user agent]] information), while other nonpublic information is optionally provided by the user (such as an email address). Regardless, nonpublic information that includes personally identifying information about any particular user is kept for a short amount of time. You can learn more about the types of information we collect and how long we retain that information in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Privacy Policy]] and [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines&lt;/tvar&gt;|Data Retention Guidelines]].

&lt;!--T:16--&gt;
Please note that users can use the Wikimedia projects anonymously. Even if a user has registered an account with us, he or she is not required to provide personally identifying information such as a real name, email address, physical address, date of birth, or phone number. And if they have provided any of this information, the information we have may not correspond to a real person as the user may have provided fake or pseudonymous information.

=== What We Require From You === &lt;!--T:17--&gt;

&lt;!--T:18--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation only discloses nonpublic user information in accordance with our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use&lt;/tvar&gt;|Terms of Use]], [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Privacy Policy]], and applicable law, including the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Electronic Communications Privacy Act}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Electronic Communications Privacy Act]] (&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;[//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-119 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2522]&lt;/tvar&gt;, &lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;[//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-121 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701-2711]&lt;/tvar&gt;, and &lt;tvar name=&quot;6&quot;&gt;[//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-II/chapter-206 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121-3127]&lt;/tvar&gt;).

&lt;!--T:19--&gt;
If you choose to submit a request to us, it must meet the following requirements:
&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:20--&gt; '''Reasonableness.''' It must be reasonable for us to locate and retrieve the information you request. We do not accept requests that would be unreasonably burdensome to execute.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:21--&gt; '''Specificity.''' Your request must be specific as to what particular types of information you are requesting and where it may be located. It must also at least specify the username of the party you are seeking information about -- and please note that usernames are case-sensitive. We do not accept general inquiries, requests based solely on real names&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; Users are not requested or required to provide a real name when they use our sites. They are only required to provide a username of their choosing and a password to create an account. If they choose not to create an account, they can still view, edit, and contribute to Wikimedia sites without an account. Therefore, it is impossible for us to search for records based on a person's real name.&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt;, or vague or overbroad requests. Please ensure that the requested information is not available through our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Main page&lt;/tvar&gt;|public APIs]].&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:22--&gt; '''Relevance.''' Your request must specify the relevance of the information you are requesting to the investigation or case your request pertains to.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:23--&gt; '''Contact Information.''' You must include your name; your mailing address; your firm or agency's name (unless you are representing only yourself); your direct phone number; your valid firm- or agency-issued email address (unless you are representing only yourself); and if you represent a law enforcement, governmental, or administrative agency, your badge or identification number.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:24--&gt; '''Timeline.''' You must include a specific deadline by which we must respond to your request. With the exception of emergency requests (described below), please bear in mind that we generally need a 30 business day minimum waiting period, so that we can properly notify our users and ensure that they have a reasonable period of time to contest your request if they choose to do so.&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:25--&gt; '''Legal Validity &amp; Enforceability Under United States Law.''' Your request must be legally valid and enforceable under applicable law (as determined according to our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination&lt;/tvar&gt;|applicable law determination]]), not in conflict with US law, and be in one of the following forms:&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:26--&gt; A court order directed to WMF, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction;&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:27--&gt; A civil subpoena, which complies with [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_45&lt;/tvar&gt; Rule 45] of the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp&lt;/tvar&gt; Federal Rules of Civil Procedure] or the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;//california-discovery-law.com/discovery_act_outline.htm&lt;/tvar&gt; California Discovery Act];&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:28--&gt; A federal or US state criminal subpoena (grand jury or trial), issued by a US court of competent jurisdiction in connection with an official criminal investigation;&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:29--&gt; An administrative subpoena authorized by a federal or state statute;&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:30--&gt; A warrant issued under the procedures of the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp&lt;/tvar&gt; Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure] or equivalent state warrant procedures, based upon a showing of probable cause -- if you are a government or law enforcement agency and are requesting disclosure of the contents of any user communication, nonpublic user content information, or any other information where a warrant is required by law;&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{#tag:ref|&lt;/tvar&gt; For the avoidance of doubt, we believe a warrant is required by the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/fourth_amendment&lt;/tvar&gt; 4th Amendment] to the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;4&quot;&gt;//www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html&lt;/tvar&gt; United States Constitution], which prohibits unreasonable search and seizure and overrides conflicting provisions in ECPA. We believe that the ECPA needs to be updated so that equivalent protections are granted to electronic communications and documents that have already been granted to the physical documents one keeps at home or in their office. To that end, we are a member of the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;5&quot;&gt;//digitaldueprocess.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Digital Due Process Coalition] to help in that effort.&lt;tvar name=&quot;6&quot;&gt;}}&lt;/tvar&gt; Please note that US law does not allow the disclosure of communications content to a non-US governmental entity, unless &quot;pursuant to an order from a foreign government that is subject to an executive agreement that the Attorney General has determined and certified to Congress satisfies section 2523&quot; (see [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702]); or&lt;/translate&gt;
:::* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:31--&gt; A request served by a US court of competent jurisdiction or enforcement agency under the procedures set forth in an applicable [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Mutual legal assistance treaty}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|mutual legal assistance treaty]], [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Letter rogatory}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|letters rogatory]], or under applicable law (as determined according to our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;3&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination&lt;/tvar&gt;|applicable law determination]]) -- if you are making a request originating outside of the US.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:32--&gt;
Absent a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury), we will refuse to disclose nonpublic user information if we believe that we are not legally required to disclose the requested information.
&lt;/translate&gt;
{{anchor|emergency-requests}}
&lt;translate&gt;
=== Emergency Requests === &lt;!--T:33--&gt;

&lt;!--T:34--&gt;
In accordance with [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702&lt;/tvar&gt; 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8)], if you believe there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury) to any person, and that we may have information necessary to prevent the threat from being fulfilled, you may request an emergency disclosure.

&lt;!--T:35--&gt;
In addition to the requirements set forth above, emergency requests should also include (to the extent you are legally permitted to disclose) the following:
&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:36--&gt; A subject line including the phrase &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE REQUEST&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot;;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:37--&gt; The specific information you are requesting and how it is necessary to prevent the threat from being carried out;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:38--&gt; The identity of the individual(s) or group(s) of individuals under threat;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:39--&gt; The nature of emergency;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:40--&gt; Why you believe it is imminent;&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:41--&gt; Links to specific content containing relevant information (if any);&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:42--&gt; Any other information you believe will aid in our evaluation of your request; and&lt;/translate&gt;
:* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:43--&gt; A declaration, under the penalty of perjury, that to the best of your knowledge, the information you have submitted is true and accurate.&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:44--&gt;
The decision to grant a request for emergency disclosure lies solely with the Wikimedia Foundation. After evaluation of your request for emergency disclosure, if we have a good faith belief that there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb, we may provide the information necessary to prevent such harm (if we have and can recover it).

&lt;!--T:45--&gt;
If you have an emergency request, please email your request to &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;legal{{@}}wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; and CC &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; to ensure speedy processing.
&lt;/translate&gt;
{{anchor|childsafety}}
&lt;translate&gt;
=== Child Safety === &lt;!--T:46--&gt;

&lt;!--T:47--&gt;
We report any discovered instances we believe to be child pornography to the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.missingkids.com/&lt;/tvar&gt; National Center for Missing and Exploited Children] (NCMEC), including information brought to our attention through your requests for nonpublic user information. If your request has already been reported to NCMEC or relates to a case being handled by NCMEC, please include the case or report information in your request.

=== How to Contact Us === &lt;!--T:48--&gt;

&lt;!--T:49--&gt;
You may send your request to us:&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;u&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:50--&gt; Via Email&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/u&gt; -

legal{{@}}wikimedia.org

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:51--&gt;
Please provide a clear and concise subject line, such as &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;DISCLOSURE REQUEST&lt;/tvar&gt; - [CASE NAME] - DEADLINE: [DATE]&quot;.

&lt;!--T:52--&gt;
If you are sending an emergency request (as defined above), please email &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;legal{{@}}wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; and CC &lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org&lt;/tvar&gt; to ensure speedy processing.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;u&gt;&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:53--&gt; Via Post&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;/u&gt; -

The Wikimedia Foundation&lt;br /&gt;

Glendale, CA 91203-2336

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:54--&gt;
While we agree to accept service of requests by these methods for convenience, neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor its users waive any legal rights or defenses based on this accommodation. Please note that if you are seeking testimony from the Wikimedia Foundation or its staff, officers, contractors, or board members, you must serve such a request on our registered agent for service or process as we do not accept those kinds of requests by post or email.
&lt;/translate&gt;{{anchor|notifying-users}}
&lt;translate&gt;
=== Notifying Our Users of Your Request === &lt;!--T:55--&gt;

&lt;!--T:56--&gt;
We believe in transparency about when requests are made for our users' nonpublic information. This means that we will notify the user(s) affected by your request of your request and that we will report the receipt and resolution of your request in our transparency report.

&lt;!--T:57--&gt;
When we receive your request, we will notify and provide a copy of your request to the affected user(s) at least 10 calendar days before we disclose the requested information, provided that (1) we have contact information for the affected user(s); (2) disclosing your request will not create or increase a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; and (3) we are not otherwise prohibited by law or an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, such as an order issued pursuant to [&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2705&lt;/tvar&gt; 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)], from doing so. If we are unable to provide information about your request to affected users because disclosing it would create a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; or we are prohibited by law, we will provide information about your request to affected users that we have contact information for within a reasonable period after the threat or legal restriction has terminated.

&lt;!--T:58--&gt;
If you are requesting disclosure of nonpublic user information that you believe requires confidentiality, please provide a legally valid and enforceable protective, sealing, or &quot;gag&quot; order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that we must receive notice of such protective, sealing, or gag order prior to the date the Wikimedia Foundation notifies the user for confidentiality to be considered.

&lt;!--T:59--&gt;
Upon notification to the affected user(s), the user(s) will generally be provided at least 10 calendar days before we will disclose the requested information (assuming we find your request to be otherwise valid), during which time the affected user(s) may attempt to quash or otherwise legally challenge the request. If, prior to the disclosure, we receive notice from the affected user(s) that he or she intends to challenge your request, no information will be delivered until that legal challenge is resolved.

=== Our Right to Challenge Your Request === &lt;!--T:60--&gt;

&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
We may, and reserve the right to, challenge the scope or validity of your request, on behalf of any affected user, whether or not the affected user chooses to pursue his or her own legal challenge.

=== Cost Reimbursement === &lt;!--T:62--&gt;

&lt;!--T:63--&gt;
We reserve the right to seek reasonable reimbursement costs for responding to your request.
&lt;/translate&gt;

[[&lt;translate&gt;File:How does Wikipedia protect readers privacy – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm&lt;/translate&gt;|frameless|400px]]

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:2--&gt; What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:3--&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.

&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;privacypolicyhistory&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}}&lt;/tvar&gt; page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [&lt;tvar name=&quot;PP2003&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}}&lt;/tvar&gt; 2003], [&lt;tvar name=&quot;PP2006&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}}&lt;/tvar&gt; 2006], [&lt;tvar name=&quot;PP2008&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}}&lt;/tvar&gt; 2008], and [&lt;tvar name=&quot;PP2014&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}}&lt;/tvar&gt; 2014].
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:5--&gt; What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.

&lt;!--T:143--&gt;
A [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts&lt;/tvar&gt;|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:7--&gt; Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:&lt;/translate&gt;

* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:9--&gt; Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:10--&gt; Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:11--&gt; Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:60--&gt; What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:&lt;/translate&gt;

* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:62--&gt; remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:63--&gt; use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:65--&gt; How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:66--&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:&lt;/translate&gt;

: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:67--&gt; (a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/translate&gt;
: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:103--&gt; [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/translate&gt;
: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:68--&gt; (b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:69--&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:&lt;/translate&gt;

: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:70--&gt; Sign into your account, click on &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-myprefs&quot;&gt;{{int:mypreferences}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot;, then click on &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-prefs-pers&quot;&gt;{{int:prefs-personal}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot;, and check the &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-alloweml&quot;&gt;{{int:allowemail}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot; box.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:71--&gt; Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:72--&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:73--&gt; What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:74--&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [&lt;tvar name=&quot;maxmind&quot;&gt;//www.maxmind.com/en/city&lt;/tvar&gt; MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.

&lt;!--T:75--&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [&lt;tvar name=&quot;bitsgeolookup&quot;&gt;//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup&lt;/tvar&gt; GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:76--&gt; What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:77--&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [&lt;tvar name=&quot;wikimedialink&quot;&gt;//wikimania.wikimedia.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;FDClink&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee&lt;/tvar&gt;|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [&lt;tvar name=&quot;openidlink&quot;&gt;//openid.net/&lt;/tvar&gt; OpenID] or [&lt;tvar name=&quot;oauthlink&quot;&gt;//oauth.net/&lt;/tvar&gt; OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:78--&gt; What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:79--&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.

&lt;!--T:80--&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;checkuserpolicylink&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;toulink&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use&lt;/tvar&gt;|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.

&lt;!--T:81--&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.

&lt;!--T:127--&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.

&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:82--&gt; Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:83--&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:128--&gt; What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:129--&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [&lt;tvar name=&quot;refererpolicylink&quot;&gt;//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin&lt;/tvar&gt; &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].

&lt;!--T:130--&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;metaReferralHeaders&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers&lt;/tvar&gt;|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:84--&gt; What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:85--&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:117--&gt; Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:118--&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [&lt;tvar name=&quot;blogpost&quot;&gt;//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/&lt;/tvar&gt; 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;hstslink&quot;&gt;{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|HSTS]], [&lt;tvar name=&quot;hstspreload&quot;&gt;//hstspreload.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Browser HSTS preloading], [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;ocsp&quot;&gt;{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|OCSP Stapling]], and [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;ECDSA&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;TKTKTK&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;Curve25519&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Curve25519}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|X25519]] and [&lt;tvar name=&quot;chacha&quot;&gt;//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905&lt;/tvar&gt; Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;phabciphers&quot;&gt;phab:T147199&lt;/tvar&gt;|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;httpsstatus&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS&lt;/tvar&gt;|HTTPS status page]].&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:144--&gt; Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:145--&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha&lt;/tvar&gt;|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/&lt;/tvar&gt;|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.

&lt;!--T:146--&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks&lt;/tvar&gt;|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:86--&gt; What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:87--&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;checkuserpolicylink&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount&lt;/tvar&gt;|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;dataretentionguidelines&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines&lt;/tvar&gt;|data retention guidelines]].&lt;/translate&gt;

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:88--&gt; Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

A group of experienced users called the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;ombudslink&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission&lt;/tvar&gt;|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:91--&gt;
The main [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;policy&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing &lt;tvar name=&quot;infoemail&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt;, or the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;OTRS&quot;&gt;:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info&lt;/tvar&gt;|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:108--&gt; What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:109--&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.

&lt;!--T:110--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[&lt;tvar name=&quot;sharing&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing&lt;/tvar&gt;|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.

&lt;!--T:111--&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.

&lt;!--T:112--&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [&lt;tvar name=&quot;dntws&quot;&gt;//donottrack.us/&lt;/tvar&gt; Do Not Track Us], and the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;w3DNT&quot;&gt;//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/&lt;/tvar&gt; World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:114--&gt; I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:115--&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:121--&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;[[Special:Log|Special:Log]]&lt;/tvar&gt;.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:133--&gt; Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:134--&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;endeletion&quot;&gt;:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.

&lt;!--T:135--&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;suppression&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.

&lt;!--T:136--&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;enusername&quot;&gt;:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.

&lt;!--T:137--&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;chusername&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username&lt;/tvar&gt;|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].

&lt;!--T:138--&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.

&lt;!--T:139--&gt;
Please refer to our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;privpol&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:2--&gt; What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:3--&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.

&lt;!--T:4--&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;privacypolicyhistory&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}}&lt;/tvar&gt; page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [&lt;tvar name=&quot;PP2003&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}}&lt;/tvar&gt; 2003], [&lt;tvar name=&quot;PP2006&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}}&lt;/tvar&gt; 2006], [&lt;tvar name=&quot;PP2008&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}}&lt;/tvar&gt; 2008], and [&lt;tvar name=&quot;PP2014&quot;&gt;{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}}&lt;/tvar&gt; 2014].
&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:5--&gt; What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:6--&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.

&lt;!--T:143--&gt;
A [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts&lt;/tvar&gt;|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.

&lt;!--T:142--&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;phabricatorlink&quot;&gt;phab:&lt;/tvar&gt;|Phabricator]], [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;gerritlink&quot;&gt;gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z&lt;/tvar&gt;|Gerrit]], or [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;otrslink&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team&lt;/tvar&gt;|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:92--&gt; Back to Privacy Policy&lt;/translate&gt;]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:7--&gt; Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:8--&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:&lt;/translate&gt;

* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:9--&gt; Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:10--&gt; Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:11--&gt; Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:12--&gt; Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:13--&gt;
For more information, please visit our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;cookiestatement&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement&lt;/tvar&gt;|Cookie Statement]].&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:60--&gt; What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:61--&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:&lt;/translate&gt;

* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:62--&gt; remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:63--&gt; use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/translate&gt;
* &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:64--&gt; install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:65--&gt; How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:66--&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:&lt;/translate&gt;

: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:67--&gt; (a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/translate&gt;
: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:103--&gt; [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/translate&gt;
: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:68--&gt; (b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/translate&gt;
: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:104--&gt; [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-myprefs&quot;&gt;{{int:mypreferences}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot; tab]]&lt;/translate&gt;
: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:105--&gt; [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-echo&quot;&gt;{{int:prefs-echo}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot; tab]]&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:69--&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:&lt;/translate&gt;

: &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:70--&gt; Sign into your account, click on &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-myprefs&quot;&gt;{{int:mypreferences}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot;, then click on &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-prefs-pers&quot;&gt;{{int:prefs-personal}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot;, and check the &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-alloweml&quot;&gt;{{int:allowemail}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot; box.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:106--&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-prefs-pers&quot;&gt;{{int:prefs-personal}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot; tab]]&lt;/translate&gt;
&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:107--&gt;
[[File:4 ENWP Enable Email.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;&lt;tvar name=&quot;int-alloweml&quot;&gt;{{int:allowemail}}&lt;/tvar&gt;&quot; option]]&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#emails|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:71--&gt; Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:72--&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:73--&gt; What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:74--&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [&lt;tvar name=&quot;maxmind&quot;&gt;//www.maxmind.com/en/city&lt;/tvar&gt; MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.

&lt;!--T:75--&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [&lt;tvar name=&quot;bitsgeolookup&quot;&gt;//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup&lt;/tvar&gt; GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:76--&gt; What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:77--&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [&lt;tvar name=&quot;wikimedialink&quot;&gt;//wikimania.wikimedia.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;FDClink&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee&lt;/tvar&gt;|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [&lt;tvar name=&quot;openidlink&quot;&gt;//openid.net/&lt;/tvar&gt; OpenID] or [&lt;tvar name=&quot;oauthlink&quot;&gt;//oauth.net/&lt;/tvar&gt; OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:78--&gt; What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:79--&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.

&lt;!--T:80--&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;checkuserpolicylink&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;toulink&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use&lt;/tvar&gt;|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.

&lt;!--T:81--&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.

&lt;!--T:127--&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.

&lt;/translate&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:82--&gt; Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:83--&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:128--&gt; What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:129--&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [&lt;tvar name=&quot;refererpolicylink&quot;&gt;//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin&lt;/tvar&gt; &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].

&lt;!--T:130--&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;metaReferralHeaders&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers&lt;/tvar&gt;|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:84--&gt; What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:85--&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:117--&gt; Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:118--&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [&lt;tvar name=&quot;blogpost&quot;&gt;//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/&lt;/tvar&gt; 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;hstslink&quot;&gt;{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|HSTS]], [&lt;tvar name=&quot;hstspreload&quot;&gt;//hstspreload.org/&lt;/tvar&gt; Browser HSTS preloading], [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;ocsp&quot;&gt;{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|OCSP Stapling]], and [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;ECDSA&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;TKTKTK&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;Curve25519&quot;&gt;{{lwp|Curve25519}}&lt;/tvar&gt;|X25519]] and [&lt;tvar name=&quot;chacha&quot;&gt;//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905&lt;/tvar&gt; Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;phabciphers&quot;&gt;phab:T147199&lt;/tvar&gt;|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;httpsstatus&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS&lt;/tvar&gt;|HTTPS status page]].&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:144--&gt; Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;
&lt;!--T:145--&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha&lt;/tvar&gt;|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;2&quot;&gt;diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/&lt;/tvar&gt;|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.

&lt;!--T:146--&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks&lt;/tvar&gt;|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:86--&gt; What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:87--&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;checkuserpolicylink&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount&lt;/tvar&gt;|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;dataretentionguidelines&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines&lt;/tvar&gt;|data retention guidelines]].&lt;/translate&gt;

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:88--&gt; Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:89--&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;ombudslink&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission&lt;/tvar&gt;|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:90--&gt; There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:91--&gt;
The main [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;policy&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing &lt;tvar name=&quot;infoemail&quot;&gt;{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}&lt;/tvar&gt;, or the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;OTRS&quot;&gt;:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info&lt;/tvar&gt;|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:108--&gt; What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:109--&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.

&lt;!--T:110--&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[&lt;tvar name=&quot;sharing&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing&lt;/tvar&gt;|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.

&lt;!--T:111--&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.

&lt;!--T:112--&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [&lt;tvar name=&quot;dntws&quot;&gt;//donottrack.us/&lt;/tvar&gt; Do Not Track Us], and the [&lt;tvar name=&quot;w3DNT&quot;&gt;//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/&lt;/tvar&gt; World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].&lt;/translate&gt;

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:114--&gt; I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:115--&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:120--&gt; Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:121--&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at &lt;tvar name=&quot;1&quot;&gt;[[Special:Log|Special:Log]]&lt;/tvar&gt;.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:133--&gt; Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/translate&gt; ==

&lt;translate&gt;&lt;!--T:134--&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;endeletion&quot;&gt;:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.

&lt;!--T:135--&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;suppression&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.

&lt;!--T:136--&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;enusername&quot;&gt;:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.

&lt;!--T:137--&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;chusername&quot;&gt;:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username&lt;/tvar&gt;|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].

&lt;!--T:138--&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.

&lt;!--T:139--&gt;
Please refer to our [[&lt;tvar name=&quot;privpol&quot;&gt;Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy&lt;/tvar&gt;|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.&lt;/translate&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#your-use-of-wm-sites|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions? ==

Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.

If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;? ==

A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.

A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.

For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|Back to Privacy Policy]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage? ==

Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:

* Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.
* Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.
* Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.
* Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)

For more information, please visit our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Cookie Statement]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device? ==

While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:

* remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;
* use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or
* install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get? ==

You can change what notifications you receive by either:

: (a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]

You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:

: Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.

[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]
[[File:4 ENWP Enable Email.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; option]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content? ==

Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that? ==

We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.

We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information? ==

If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies? ==

It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.

For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.

As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.

We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers? ==

Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site? ==

When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].

We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== What is the risk of re-identification? ==

In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites? ==

Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites? ==

Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.

To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== What are some examples of how long you keep my data? ==

It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations? ==

A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information? ==

The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them? ==

&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.

The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.

Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.

You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute? ==

You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs? ==

Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how? ==

The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.

You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.

If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.

If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].

The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.

Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#your-use-of-wm-sites|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== Was ist an dieser Datenschutzrichtlinie anders? Kann ich ӓltere Versionen sehen? ==

Wie viele andere Organisationen sind auch wir über die Jahre hinweg gewachsen und haben uns verӓndert. Die vorliegende Datenschutzrichtlinie haben wir in der Hoffnung entworfen, damit nicht nur unsere derzeitigen Praktiken, sondern auch die der Zukunft widerzuspiegeln. Unser Ziel war es, diese Datenschutzrichtlinie verstӓndlich zu formulieren und Transparenz zu schaffen, wie wir Daten sammeln und nutzen, um die Wikemedia-Seiten besser zu verstehen und für dich besser zu gestalten.

Wenn du unsere früheren Datenschutzrichtlinien lesen möchtest, stellen wir dir diese gerne zur Ansicht in unseren Archiven zur Verfügung. Da wir unsere Datenschutzrichtlinie auf einem Wiki bereitstellen, kannst du die [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} Versionsgeschichte der Seite aufrufen], um die verschiedenen Revisionen zu vergleichen! Die umfangreicher bearbeiteten Richtlinien beziehen sich auf die Jahre  [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] und [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== Was ist ein „Standardkonto“ und was ein „temporäres Konto“ oder ein „Nicht-Standardkonto“? ==

Mit einem Standardkonto kannst du dich zu den Hauptprojekten von Wikimedia anmelden, darin browsen und diese bearbeiten (z.B. Wikipedia oder Wikimedia Commons). In der Regel musst du nicht mehr als einen Benutzernamen und ein Kennwort angeben, um ein Standardkonto bei der Wikimedia-Stiftung zu erstellen. Wenn du jedoch ein Standardkonto mit einem von einem Drittanbieter betriebenen System erstellst, musst du möglicherweise zusätzliche Informationen wie eine E-Mail-Adresse angeben. Mit einem Nicht-Standardkonto kannst du dich bei der Wikimedia-Bewegung anmelden, um darin intensiver teilzunehmen und nicht nur darin zu lesen oder Beitrӓge zu den Hauptprojekten, wie Wikipedia, zu leisten.

Ein [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporäres Konto]] ist ein Konto, das automatisch erstellt wird, wenn du bestimmte Aktionen wie eine Bearbeitung in den Wikimedia-Websites vornimmst und nicht über ein Standardkonto angemeldet bist. Anschließende Bearbeitungen über das gleiche Gerät und den gleichen Browser werden bis zum Ablauf des Kontos dem gleichen temporären Konto zugeordnet. Du kannst dich nicht außerhalb des gleichen Geräts und des gleichen Browsers beim temporären Konto anmelden, da diese Konten kein Passwort haben. Ein temporäres Konto ist maximal 90 Tage lang gültig und endet jedenfalls beim Verlassen der Browser-Session. Dann wird das temporäre Konto automatisch deaktiviert. Für spätere Bearbeitungen wird ein neues temporäres Konto erstellt.

Wenn du zum Beispiel ein Konto bei [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]] oder beim [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Support-Team]] eröffnest oder an einer bestimmten Initiative wie Global Education mitarbeitest, musst du zur Teilnahme bzw. Registrierung oft zusӓtzliche Informationen angeben, beispielsweise eine E-Mail-Adresse, und nicht nur Benutzername und Passwort.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|Zurück zur Datenschutzrichtlinie]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Könnt ihr mir Beispiele für eure Nutzung von Cookies und lokal gespeicherten Daten geben? ==

Aber natürlich! Die von Wikimedia genutzten Cookies (und die zugehörige Local-Storage-Technologie) lassen sich allgemein folgendermaßen kategorisieren:

* Funktion: Diese Cookies tragen zum Funktionieren der Website bei, einschließlich wichtiger Funktionen wie dem Einloggen und dem Aufrechterhalten temporärer Konten.
* Prӓferenzen: Diese Cookies speichern deine Prӓferenzen, sodass sie beim nӓchsten Mal, wenn du die Seite aufrufst, wieder da sind.
* Leistung und Analyse: Die Cookies sammeln Informationen darüber, wie du unsere Webseite nutzt, sodass wir besser verstehen können, wie die Webseite arbeitet und wie wir sie für dich und andere Nutzer verbessern können.
* Dritte: Diese Cookies erlauben es uns, Services von Dritten zu nutzen, z.B. „Like”- oder „Share”-Buttons. Wenn ein Dritter diese Art von Diensten anbietet, ist möglicherweise die Nutzung eines Cookies erforderlich, um den Dienst anbieten zu können. (Diese werden nur nach aktiver Zustimmung deinerseits genutzt.)

Für weitere Informationen besuche bitte unsere [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Stellungnahme zu Cookies]].

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Welche Optionen stehen mir zur Verfügung, um die Verwendung von lokal gespeicherten Daten auf meinem Gerät zu begrenzen? ==

Die folgende Liste stellt keine umfassende Liste dar. Jedoch haben wir einige Punkte aufgeführt, mit Hilfe derer du die Verwendung von lokal gespeicherten Daten auf deinem Gerät begrenzen kannst. Du kannst:

* bestimmte, lokal gespeicherte Daten in deinen Browsereinstellungen entfernen oder deaktivieren;
* einen Browser benutzen, der Cookies von Dritten blockieren kann, oder
* ein Plug-in installieren, das lokal gespeicherte Daten blockiert, falls ein solches Cookie verfügbar ist.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Wie kann ich innerhalb der Wikimedia-Seiten eine E-Mail versenden, und wie kann ich neu einstellen, welche Art von Mitteilungen an mich versandt werden? ==

Du kannst die Art von Mitteilungen, die an dich versandt werden, folgendermaßen neu einstellen:

: (a) Klicke auf den Link unter „Überprüfe deine Einstellungen, um festzulegen, welche E-Mails du von uns erhältst” am Ende jeder Benachrichtigungs-E-Mail, die wir dir senden, wie nachfolgend dargestellt, oder
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) Melde dich bei deinem Benutzerkonto an und klicke anschließend auf „{{int:mypreferences}}” rechts oben auf deinem Bildschirm. 
Klicke anschließend auf „{{int:prefs-echo}}”.
: [[File:1 DEWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|Der „{{int:mypreferences}}” Tab.]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|Der „{{int:prefs-echo}}” Tab.]]

Du hast ebenfalls die Möglichkeit, die Funktion „E-Mail an diesen Benutzer versenden” zu aktivieren. Mit dieser Funktion können andere Benutzer eine E-Mail direkt an dich versenden, indem sie auf „{{int:emailuser}}” im Menü Werkzeugkasten auf deiner Benutzerseite klicken. Wenn du diese Funktion aktivierst, wird deine E-Mail-Adresse nicht angezeigt, wenn andere Benutzer dich kontaktieren (Sie wird jedoch angezeigt, wenn du antwortest). Wenn du diese Funktion aktivierst, kann jeder andere Benutzer eine E-Mail an dich versenden. Der Inhalt der E-Mails und die Häufigkeit des E-Mail-Verkehrs werden von uns nicht überprüft. Du kannst diese Funktion folgendermaßen aktivieren:

: Melde dich bei deinem Benutzerkonto an und klicke auf „{{int:mypreferences}}”. Klicke anschließend auf „{{int:prefs-personal}}” und aktiviere das Kästchen „{{int:allowemail}}”.

[[File:3 DEWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|Der „{{int:prefs-personal}}” Tab.]]
[[File:4 DEWP Enable Emails.png|thumb|center|500px|Die „{{int:allowemail}}” Option.]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Könnt ihr mir ein Beispiel nennen, wie GPS und andere Ortungstechnologien genutzt werden, um mir Inhalte anzuzeigen, die für mich von höherer Relevanz sind? ==

Aber natürlich! Wenn du die mobile Anwendung von Wikipedia nutzt, kannst du durch die Betätigung der Schaltfläche „{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}” herausfinden, ob Artikel über Orte und Dinge in deiner Umgebung vorhanden sind. Dein Gerät wird dich um die Einwilligung bitten, dass dein aktueller Standort identifiziert und verwendet werden darf, bevor die Informationen bezüglich deines Standorts tatsächlich verwendet werden. Wenn du auf diese Funktion von deinem Laptop, Desktop oder einem anderem Gerät ohne GPS-Funktion zugreifst, werden die Browserinformationen verwendet, um deinen Standort zu bestimmen und Artikel über Orte und Dinge (beispielsweise öffentliche Skulpturen oder berühmte Gebäude) in deiner Umgebung zu finden.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Was bedeutet „Meinen Standort ermitteln”? Und wozu benötigt ihr diese Informationen? ==

Wir verwenden einige Download-Produkte wie beispielsweise [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMinds GeoIP City DB]. Damit können wir intern den ungefähren Standort unserer Benutzer ermitteln. Unter „ungefähr” verstehen wir, dass mittels GeoIP City DB dein Standort in der Mitte des Bereichs identifiziert wird, von dem aus die präzisesten Standortdaten bezüglich deiner IP-Adresse übermittelt werden. Die Standortdaten, die mittels deiner IP-Adresse übermittelt werden, setzen sich ausschließlich aus den folgenden Angaben zusammen: Postleitzahl, Stadt, Region oder zum Land. Wenn du dich also für gewöhnlich nicht in der Mitte des Bereichs aufhältst, von dem aus die präzisesten Standortdaten deiner IP-Adresse übermittelt werden, sind die von uns gesammelten Daten einfach nicht gut genug, um deinen exakten Standort zu ermitteln.

Wir führen die Standortbestimmung durch, um dir passende regionale Inhalte anbieten zu können, wie lokale Mitteilungen, Veranstaltungsankündigungen und Spendenkampagnen vor Ort. Um zu sehen, welche Informationen wir zu deiner IP-Adresse gespeichert haben, kannst du jederzeit unser [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP-Lookup-Werkzeug] nutzen und die Informationen überprüfen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== In welchem Fall würdet ihr mich um meine Einwilligung bitten, dass personenbezogene Daten übermittelt werden dürfen? Gibt es Beispiele hierfür? ==

Wenn du ein Stipendium erhältst, um an der [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania] teilzunehmen, würden wir dich um deine Einwilligung bitten, an die Organisatoren der Wikimania, die in dem jeweiligen Jahr die Konferenz durchführen, personenbezogene Daten weitergeben zu dürfen. Dies ermöglicht es den Organisatoren, die entsprechenden Reisevorkehrungen zu treffen. Falls du dich für ein Stipendium bewirbst, werden wir dich möglicherweise um deine Einwilligung bitten, an den [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Stipendiatsausschuss]], der deine Bewerbung überprüft, personenbezogene Daten weitergeben zu dürfen. Oder du möchtest eventuell deinen Wikimedia-Benutzernamen und dein Passwort nutzen, um dich einzuloggen und Daten an eine Webseite, die von Dritten betrieben wird, mit Hilfe von Diensten wie [//openid.net/ OpenID] oder [//oauth.net/ OAuth] weiterzugeben. In diesem Fall werden deine Daten nur mit deiner ausdrücklichen Einwilligung an die von Dritten betriebene Webseite weitergegeben.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== In welchen Fällen darf Wikimedia Benutzerdaten weitergegeben, um Wikimedia-Seiten zu erforschen oder die Einhaltung der Richtlinien durchzusetzen und diese zu schützen? ==

Für uns ist es wichtig, sicherzustellen, dass alle sich an die gleichen Regeln halten. In einigen Fällen ist es erforderlich, die Daten von bestimmten Benutzern zu überprüfen und ihre Daten weiterzugeben, um dies zu gewährleisten.

Benutzerdaten werden beispielsweise weitergegeben, wenn ein [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] einen Missbrauch bei einem Projekt untersucht. Dies ist beispielsweise der Fall, wenn von einem Benutzer vermutet wird, dass er „Sockenpuppen” (mehrere Konten) registriert hat und damit böswillige Zwecke verfolgt, bei Online-Vandalismus, Belästigung von anderen Benutzern oder bei nicht ordnungsgemäßem Verhalten. Wenn ein Benutzer gegen unsere [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Nutzungsbedingungen]] oder sonstige wichtige Richtlinien verstößt, können die personenbezogenen Daten dieses Benutzers an den Internetanbieter, den Netzbetreiber und andere Dritte weitergegeben werden. Diese unterstützen uns bei der Ermittlung von IP-Blöcken oder dem Einreichen einer Beschwerde beim zuständigen Internetanbieter.

Hier ist ein weiteres Beispiel: Wenn wir darüber informiert werden, dass ein Benutzer eine Bombendrohung veröffentlicht hat, sind wir dazu verpflichtet, Informationen bezüglich der Drohung an die örtlichen Behörden weiterzugeben, um das Leben der Menschen vor Ort zu schützen.

Wir können personenbezogene Daten auch für andere legitime wohltätige Zwecke verwenden, die in unserer Datenschutzrichtlinie beschrieben sind.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Könnt ihr mir ein Beispiel dafür nennen, in welchem Fall ihr meine Daten an dritte Anbieter weitergeben würden? ==

Aber natürlich! Die Webseiten von Wikimedia benötigen für ihre Funktion beispielsweise Host-Anbieter, Anbieter von Glasfasernetzwerken, Datenzentren sowie andere Dienstleister und Vertragspartner. Mit diesen Dienstleistern haben wir Verträge geschlossen. Sie haben ausschließlich Zugang zu deinen Daten gemäß den Bestimmungen dieser Datenschutzrichtlinie, um Dienste für uns auszuführen. Es kommt vor, dass wir dritte Anbieter hinzuziehen, die uns bei der Verwaltung der von uns gespeicherten Informationen unterstützen. Wir verwenden beispielsweise bei der Verwaltung der Stipendien Systeme Dritter zur Speicherung der Bewerberinformationen und zur Vereinfachung und effizienteren Gestaltung des Bewerbungsverfahrens. Wir nutzen ebenfalls dritte Anbieter für die E-Mail-Dienste, die wir unseren Mitarbeitern zur Verfügung stellen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Welche Informationen werden offengelegt, wenn ich auf einer Wikimedia-Seite auf einen Link klicke, der mich zu einer externen Seite eines Drittanbieters führt? ==

Wenn du auf einen Link auf einer Wikimedia-Seite klickst, der dich zu einer externen Webseite weiterleitet, übertragen die Referrer-Informationen nur deine Ursprungsdomäne an den Drittanbieter, nicht die spezifische besuchte Wikimedia-Seite. Wenn du beispielsweise einen Artikel auf Wikipedia liest und auf einen Einzelnachweis klickst, der dich zu einem Nachrichtenartikel auf einer externen Seite weiterleitet, enthalten die Referrer-Informationen nur die Wikipedia-Domäne, nicht die spezifische Artikel-URL. Diese Art von Referrer-Richtlinie ist als [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;] bekannt.

Wir begrenzen Referrer-Informationen auf diese Weise, um die Privatsphäre der Benutzer zu schützen, und vermeiden es, vertrauliche Informationen über die von Benutzern angezeigten Seiten preiszugeben, während wir es den Vereinen und Partnern der Bewegung ermöglichen, aggregierte Informationen über den Verkehr zu sammeln, der von von Wikimedia betriebenen Webseiten empfangen wird. Für diejenigen, die mehr wissen möchten und vielleicht daran interessiert sind, mehr Kontrolle über Referrer-Informationen zu haben, hat das Sicherheitsteam der Wikimedia Foundation eine [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|Seite auf Meta]] mit einigen weiteren Details und empfohlenen Werkzeugen vorbereitet.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Worin besteht das Risiko bei der Reidentifikation? ==

In wenigen Fällen (jedoch nicht auf den Webseiten von Wikimedia, soweit wir informiert sind!) ist es unabhängigen Forschern gelungen, bei bestimmten Benutzern eine Verbindung zwischen nicht-personenbezogenen und gesammelten Informationen aus verschiedenen Quellen herzustellen. Wir versuchen dies zu vermeiden, indem wir die Informationen anonymisieren, bevor wir sie für Forschungszwecke weitergeben. Wir möchten dich jedoch auf dieses Risiko hinweisen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Nutzt die Wikimedia Foundation HTTPS auf ihren Seiten? ==

Ja! Seit [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015] implementieren wir auf allen Wikimedia-Seiten reine HTTPS-Kommunikation. Wir haben auch mehrere verwandte Maßnahmen implementiert, um unseren Datenverkehr über die Mindeststandards der Branche hinaus weiter zu sichern, darunter: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser-HSTS-Preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP-Stapling]] und [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]-Serverzertifikate. Wir betten signierte Zertifikatszeitstempel für [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Zertifikatstransparenz]] ein und aktivieren erstklassige Verschlüsselungsoptionen, einschließlich [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] und [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305].  Wir haben [[phab:T147199|veraltete Chiffren abgelehnt]], bevor sie zum nächsten Notfall werden. Für aktuelle Informationen zu unseren Bemühungen siehe unsere [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS-Statusseite]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Nutzt die Wikimedia Foundation ein CAPTCHA auf ihren Seiten? ==

Ja. Ein CAPTCHA-System namens [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]] wurde bereits in den 2000er-Jahren in den Wikis eingeführt. Ab 2025 wurde ein verbessertes System, das auf den Diensten von hCaptcha basiert, auf den Wikimedia-Seiten [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|eingeführt]]. Während das FancyCaptcha-System von allen Nutzern eine Überprüfung verlangte, fordert das neue System nur jene Nutzer dazu auf, bei denen eine hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit besteht, dass es sich um Bots handelt. Zudem liefert uns hCaptcha Hinweise darauf, ob es sich bei der Kontoerstellung oder bei bestimmten Bearbeitungen wahrscheinlich um einen Bot handelt, unabhängig davon, ob im Rahmen der Sitzung eine Überprüfung stattgefunden hat.

Um die Privatsphäre unserer Nutzer zu schützen, setzen wir [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technische Maßnahmen]] ein, die die Sensibilität der an hCaptcha übermittelten Informationen verringern. Zu diesen Maßnahmen gehört die Weiterleitung des Nutzerdatenverkehrs über einen von Wikimedia kontrollierten Proxy, wodurch sichergestellt wird, dass IP-Adressen, sensible Header-Informationen und Cookies der Nutzer nicht an hCaptcha übertragen werden. Zudem kann hCaptcha nicht einsehen, welche spezifischen Seiten-URLs unsere Nutzer aufrufen, und hCaptcha löscht die über unsere Nutzer erhobenen Daten innerhalb von 10 Tagen.

== Könnt ihr mir Beispiele dafür nennen, wie lange meine Daten gespeichert werden? ==

Dies hängt von der Art der Daten ab und auf welche Weise diese gesammelt wurden. Informationen, auf die beispielsweise über unser [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser-Tool]] zugegriffen werden kann, werden nach drei Monaten gelöscht. Andere Informationen wie IP-Adressen, die den Beiträgen von Benutzern zugeordnet werden, die nicht über ein Standardkonto oder ein temporäres Konto bearbeitet haben, werden dauerhaft in der Versionsgeschichte eines Artikels gespeichert. In unseren [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|Richtlinien und Verfahrensweisen zur Datenspeicherung]] kannst du mehr darüber erfahren, wie lange wir bestimmte Datenarten speichern.

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Gibt es ein Organ in der Gemeinschaft, das mit der Aufgabe betraut ist, mutmaßliche Datenschutzverletzungen zu untersuchen? ==

Eine Gruppe von erfahrenen Benutzern, die als [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombudskommission]] bezeichnet wird, ist befugt und autorisiert, Verletzungen und mutmaßliche Verletzungen dieser Datenschutzrichtlinie zu untersuchen. Der Ausschuss ist ebenfalls befugt und autorisiert, Empfehlungen dahingehend an uns auszusprechen, welche Maßnahmen bei einer Verletzung oder mutmaßlichen Verletzung ergriffen werden sollten.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== In einem Wikipedia-Ariktel stehen Informationen über mich, die nicht mehr aktuell oder nicht korrekt sind! Wie kann ich meine Daten aktualisieren? ==

Die Haupt-[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Datenschutzrichtlinie]] behandelt die personenbezogenen Daten unserer Benutzer. Wenn jedoch veraltete oder ungenaue Informationen über dich in einem Wikipedia-Artikel enthalten sind, kannst du den Artikel am besten aktualisieren, indem du die Inhaltsrichtlinien und -verfahren der Benutzergemeinschaft befolgsr. Du kannst auf der Diskussionsseite des Artikels Kommentare abgeben (indem du oben links auf „Diskussion“ klickst und dann die Seite bearbeitest), um Fragen oder Bedenken zur Überprüfung durch andere Autoren, die an dem Artikel arbeiten, zu äußern. Wenn du es vorziehst, nicht auf der Seite zu kommentieren, kannst du Hilfe von erfahrenen Wikimedia-Freiwilligen erhalten, indem du eine E-Mail an {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} oder an die [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|korrekte E-Mail-Adresse]] für die entsprechende Sprache sendest. Die Wikimedia-Projekte werden gemeinsam geschrieben und durch Konsens vorangetrieben. Das bedeutet, dass Informationen in Wikipedia-Artikeln von einer globalen Gemeinschaft von Benutzern wie dir geschrieben, aktualisiert und überwacht werden. Die Wikimedia Foundation ist der Ansicht, dass die Gemeinschaft im Allgemeinen bestimmen sollte, welche Inhalte zu den Projekten gehören, und wir empfehlen die Verwendung etablierter Gemeinschaftsverfahren, um potenzielle Bedenken oder Streitigkeiten zu lösen.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Was sind Do-Not-Track- oder DNT-Signale und wie reagiert die Wikimedia Foundation auf diese? ==

„Do Not Track“ oder „DNT“ bezeichnet eine Methode, bei der dein Webbrowser der von dir aufgerufenen Website mitteilt, dass du nicht von Internetseiten verfolgt werden möchtest, die du nicht besucht hast, etwa Analysediensten, Werbenetzwerken oder sozialen Plattformen. Wenn du diese Methode verwendest, wird von deinem Browser ein Signal des Inhalts gesendet, dass deine personenbezogenen Daten, insbesondere deine Internetaktivitäten und Netzwerkinteraktionen nicht an Dritte weitergegeben werden sollen. Die Person oder Organisation, die die betreffende Website betreibt, hat beim Empfang eines DNT-Signals anschließend die Möglichkeit, dieser Anfrage zu folgen oder sie zu ignorieren.

Die Wikimedia Foundation fühlt sich nachdrücklich verpflichtet, personenbezogene Daten, die wir von dir erfassen (einschließlich deiner online-Aktivitäten und Interaktionen mit Wikimedia-Seiten), nicht mit Dritten zu teilen, außer unter bestimmten Umständen, die im Abschnitt „[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Weitergabe]]” der Datenschutzrichtlinie dargelegt sind.

Aufgrund dieser Selbstverpflichtung schützen wir jeden und ändern unser Verhalten nicht als Reaktion auf das DNT-Signal eines Browsers.

Weitere Informationen über DNT-Signale findest du in auf der Internetseite [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us] und in der [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ Do-Not-Track-Spezifikation des World Wide Web Consortium].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== Ich dachte, dass ich kein Benutzerkonto brauche um zu lesen oder beizutragen! In welchen Fällen muss ich mich registrieren um zu lesen oder beizutragen? ==

Du brauchst kein Benutzerkonto, um öffentliche Wikimedia-Seiten zu lesen. Und in den meisten Fällen brauchst du kein Benutzerkonto, um zu einer Wikimedia-Seite beizutragen. Eine lokale Gemeinschaft von Autoren oder Beitragenden (zum Beispiel die englischsprachige Wikipedia-Gemeinschaft oder die malaiische Wiktionary-Gemeinschaft) oder die Wikimedia Foundation selbst kann sich dazu entschließen, vorübergehende oder dauerhafte Einschränkungen von dem, was du ändern kannst, einzurichten. Beispielsweise kann die Bearbeitung einer bestimmte Seite wegen Vandalismus oder Urheberrechtsverletzungen ausschließlich auf erfahrenen Benutzern oder Administratoren eingeschränkt werden. Du kannst zudem keine Inhalte wie Bilder oder Videos hochladen, wenn du nicht angemeldet bist, weil wir sicherstellen müssen, dass eine ordnungsgemäße Genehmigung des Urheberrechtsinhabers eingeholt wurde (sofern die Datei nicht bereits gemeinfrei ist), um den Inhalt zu veröffentlichen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Können ihr mir ein paar Beispiele geben, welche Art von Informationen durch die Logbücher verfügbar ist? ==

Ja klar! Die Logbücher können enthalten, wann dein Konto erstellt wurde, wann du eine Seite gelöscht hast, oder wann du einem Benutzer gedankt hast. Wenn du ein Beispiel haben möchtest, kannst du dir unter [[Special:Log|Special:Log]] die öffentlichen Logbücher für dieses Wiki ansehen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Kann ich alle Inhalte, die ich auf einer Wikimedia-Seite veröffentliche, löschen und/oder anonymisieren, wenn ich nicht persönlich identifiziert werden möchte? Wenn ja, wie? ==

Die Wikimedia-Seiten verwenden öffentlich zugängliche Versionsgeschichten, um einen Konsens zu erzielen, die Transparenz zwischen Mitwirkenden und Autoren zu fördern und die Authentizität des Inhalts unserer Seiten zu bestätigen. Sobald du Informationen auf den Wikimedia-Seiten veröffentlichst, sind diese daher öffentlich und du wirst sie wahrscheinlich nicht mehr entfernen können. Selbst wenn du bestimmte Inhalte (z. B. aus einem Wikipedia-Artikel) selbst entfernst, bleiben sie weiterhin im Bereich „Versionsgeschichte“ des Artikels öffentlich verfügbar. Unter bestimmten Umständen kannst du verlangen, dass eine Seite oder Datei oder ein Teil der Versionsgeschichte einer Seite oder Datei aus der öffentlichen Sichtbarkeit entfernt wird (z. B. wenn du versehentlich personenbezogene Daten mit hohem Risiko wie deine Kreditkartennummer veröffentlichst). Bitte beachte, dass Entfernungsentscheidungen (d. h. das Löschen eines ganzen Artikels) nicht immer zentral getroffen werden und manchmal nach einer öffentlichen Diskussion in der Wikipedia-Gemeinschaft erfolgen (siehe die [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Löschrichtlinie]] der englischsprachigen Wikipedia für weitere Informationen). Dieses Verfahren stellt keine vollständige oder umfassende Entfernung der auf den Wikimedia-Seiten veröffentlichten Inhalte oder Informationen sicher.

Du kannst auch eine Unterdrückung (Oversight) beantragen, um Versionen, Benutzernamen in Versionsgeschichten und Logbüchern oder Teile einzelner Logbucheinträge zu verstecken. Die Unterdrückung ist ein On-Wiki-Prozess, der in bestimmten Fälle angewendet wird. Weitere Informationen und Anweisungen findest du auf der [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki-Seite zur Unterdrückung]].

Wenn du ein registrierter Benutzer bist, empfehlen wir dir, deinen richtigen Namen nicht als deinen Benutzernamen zu verwenden, wenn du nicht möchtest, dass andere eine Verbindung zwischen dem, was du auf den Wikimedia-Seiten veröffentlichst, und deinem richtigen Namen herstellen. Weitere Informationen zur Auswahl deines Benutzernamens findest du in der [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|Benutzernamensrichtlinie]] der englischsprachigen Wikipedia. Bitte beachte, dass diese Benutzernamensrichtlinie nur für die englischsprachige Wikipedia gilt und verschiedene Wikipedias unterschiedliche Richtlinien haben. Wir empfehlen, die Benutzernamensrichtlinie für das Projekt, das du nutzen möchtest, zu überprüfen, um sicherzustellen, dass du die lokale Praxis befolgst.

Wenn du bereits personenbezogene Daten (z. B. deinen richtigen Namen) in deinen Benutzernamen aufgenommen hast und nicht mit deinen Beiträgen persönlich identifiziert werden möchtest, empfehlen wir dir, die Anonymisierung der Informationen zu beantragen (anstatt mit den Entfernungs- und Unterdrückungsprozessen fortzufahren  wie oben beschrieben), indem du eine Änderung deines Benutzernamens beantragst. Informationen zum Ändern deines Benutzernamens findest du auf [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|der Meta-Wiki-Seite zum Ändern des Benutzernamens]].

Der Anonymisierungsprozess kann keine vollständige oder umfassende Anonymisierung aller Inhalte oder personenbezogenen Daten gewährleisten, die auf Wikimedia-Seiten veröffentlicht wurden und sich auf deinen vorherigen Benutzernamen beziehen. Wenn deinem Antrag stattgegeben wird, erfolgt die Namensänderung nur in automatisch generierten Logbüchern (wie Versionsgeschichten) in Verbindung mit von dir veröffentlichten Inhalten. Durch die Namensänderung werden Erwähnungen deines früheren Benutzernamens durch Dritte nicht gelöscht. Wenn du beispielsweise deinen Benutzernamen von MichaelPaul in Owlwatcher345 geändert hast, werden die von dir beigesteuerten Inhalte Owlwatcher345 zugeschrieben, aber wenn ein anderer Benutzer dich mit dem Namen MichaelPaul auf einer Diskussionsseite erwähnt hat, wird weiterhin MichaelPaul und nicht Owlwatcher345 angezeigt.

Bitte lies unsere [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Datenschutzrichtlinie]] für weitere Informationen über deine Wahlmöglichkeiten in Bezug auf unsere Nutzung deiner personenbezogenen Daten und dazu, wie du diese Wahlmöglichkeiten ausüben kannst.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== Was ist an dieser Datenschutzrichtlinie anders? Kann ich ӓltere Versionen sehen? ==

Wie viele andere Organisationen sind auch wir über die Jahre hinweg gewachsen und haben uns verӓndert. Die vorliegende Datenschutzrichtlinie haben wir in der Hoffnung entworfen, damit nicht nur unsere derzeitigen Praktiken, sondern auch die der Zukunft widerzuspiegeln. Unser Ziel war es, diese Datenschutzrichtlinie verstӓndlich zu formulieren und Transparenz zu schaffen, wie wir Daten sammeln und nutzen, um die Wikemedia-Seiten besser zu verstehen und für dich besser zu gestalten.

Wenn du unsere früheren Datenschutzrichtlinien lesen möchtest, stellen wir dir diese gerne zur Ansicht in unseren Archiven zur Verfügung. Da wir unsere Datenschutzrichtlinie auf einem Wiki bereitstellen, kannst du die [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} Versionsgeschichte der Seite aufrufen], um die verschiedenen Revisionen zu vergleichen! Die umfangreicher bearbeiteten Richtlinien beziehen sich auf die Jahre  [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] und [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== Was ist ein „Standardkonto“ und was ein „temporäres Konto“ oder ein „Nicht-Standardkonto“? ==

Mit einem Standardkonto kannst du dich zu den Hauptprojekten von Wikimedia anmelden, darin browsen und diese bearbeiten (z.B. Wikipedia oder Wikimedia Commons). In der Regel musst du nicht mehr als einen Benutzernamen und ein Kennwort angeben, um ein Standardkonto bei der Wikimedia-Stiftung zu erstellen. Wenn du jedoch ein Standardkonto mit einem von einem Drittanbieter betriebenen System erstellst, musst du möglicherweise zusätzliche Informationen wie eine E-Mail-Adresse angeben. Mit einem Nicht-Standardkonto kannst du dich bei der Wikimedia-Bewegung anmelden, um darin intensiver teilzunehmen und nicht nur darin zu lesen oder Beitrӓge zu den Hauptprojekten, wie Wikipedia, zu leisten.

Ein [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporäres Konto]] ist ein Konto, das automatisch erstellt wird, wenn du bestimmte Aktionen wie eine Bearbeitung in den Wikimedia-Websites vornimmst und nicht über ein Standardkonto angemeldet bist. Anschließende Bearbeitungen über das gleiche Gerät und den gleichen Browser werden bis zum Ablauf des Kontos dem gleichen temporären Konto zugeordnet. Du kannst dich nicht außerhalb des gleichen Geräts und des gleichen Browsers beim temporären Konto anmelden, da diese Konten kein Passwort haben. Ein temporäres Konto ist maximal 90 Tage lang gültig und endet jedenfalls beim Verlassen der Browser-Session. Dann wird das temporäre Konto automatisch deaktiviert. Für spätere Bearbeitungen wird ein neues temporäres Konto erstellt.

Wenn du zum Beispiel ein Konto bei [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]] oder beim [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Support-Team]] eröffnest oder an einer bestimmten Initiative wie Global Education mitarbeitest, musst du zur Teilnahme bzw. Registrierung oft zusӓtzliche Informationen angeben, beispielsweise eine E-Mail-Adresse, und nicht nur Benutzername und Passwort.

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Könnt ihr mir Beispiele für eure Nutzung von Cookies und lokal gespeicherten Daten geben? ==

Aber natürlich! Die von Wikimedia genutzten Cookies (und die zugehörige Local-Storage-Technologie) lassen sich allgemein folgendermaßen kategorisieren:

* Funktion: Diese Cookies tragen zum Funktionieren der Website bei, einschließlich wichtiger Funktionen wie dem Einloggen und dem Aufrechterhalten temporärer Konten.
* Prӓferenzen: Diese Cookies speichern deine Prӓferenzen, sodass sie beim nӓchsten Mal, wenn du die Seite aufrufst, wieder da sind.
* Leistung und Analyse: Die Cookies sammeln Informationen darüber, wie du unsere Webseite nutzt, sodass wir besser verstehen können, wie die Webseite arbeitet und wie wir sie für dich und andere Nutzer verbessern können.
* Dritte: Diese Cookies erlauben es uns, Services von Dritten zu nutzen, z.B. „Like”- oder „Share”-Buttons. Wenn ein Dritter diese Art von Diensten anbietet, ist möglicherweise die Nutzung eines Cookies erforderlich, um den Dienst anbieten zu können. (Diese werden nur nach aktiver Zustimmung deinerseits genutzt.)

Für weitere Informationen besuche bitte unsere [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Stellungnahme zu Cookies]].

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Welche Optionen stehen mir zur Verfügung, um die Verwendung von lokal gespeicherten Daten auf meinem Gerät zu begrenzen? ==

Die folgende Liste stellt keine umfassende Liste dar. Jedoch haben wir einige Punkte aufgeführt, mit Hilfe derer du die Verwendung von lokal gespeicherten Daten auf deinem Gerät begrenzen kannst. Du kannst:

* bestimmte, lokal gespeicherte Daten in deinen Browsereinstellungen entfernen oder deaktivieren;
* einen Browser benutzen, der Cookies von Dritten blockieren kann, oder
* ein Plug-in installieren, das lokal gespeicherte Daten blockiert, falls ein solches Cookie verfügbar ist.

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Wie kann ich innerhalb der Wikimedia-Seiten eine E-Mail versenden, und wie kann ich neu einstellen, welche Art von Mitteilungen an mich versandt werden? ==

Du kannst die Art von Mitteilungen, die an dich versandt werden, folgendermaßen neu einstellen:

: (a) Klicke auf den Link unter „Überprüfe deine Einstellungen, um festzulegen, welche E-Mails du von uns erhältst” am Ende jeder Benachrichtigungs-E-Mail, die wir dir senden, wie nachfolgend dargestellt, oder
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) Melde dich bei deinem Benutzerkonto an und klicke anschließend auf „{{int:mypreferences}}” rechts oben auf deinem Bildschirm. 
Klicke anschließend auf „{{int:prefs-echo}}”.
: [[File:1 DEWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|Der „{{int:mypreferences}}” Tab.]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|Der „{{int:prefs-echo}}” Tab.]]

Du hast ebenfalls die Möglichkeit, die Funktion „E-Mail an diesen Benutzer versenden” zu aktivieren. Mit dieser Funktion können andere Benutzer eine E-Mail direkt an dich versenden, indem sie auf „{{int:emailuser}}” im Menü Werkzeugkasten auf deiner Benutzerseite klicken. Wenn du diese Funktion aktivierst, wird deine E-Mail-Adresse nicht angezeigt, wenn andere Benutzer dich kontaktieren (Sie wird jedoch angezeigt, wenn du antwortest). Wenn du diese Funktion aktivierst, kann jeder andere Benutzer eine E-Mail an dich versenden. Der Inhalt der E-Mails und die Häufigkeit des E-Mail-Verkehrs werden von uns nicht überprüft. Du kannst diese Funktion folgendermaßen aktivieren:

: Melde dich bei deinem Benutzerkonto an und klicke auf „{{int:mypreferences}}”. Klicke anschließend auf „{{int:prefs-personal}}” und aktiviere das Kästchen „{{int:allowemail}}”.

[[File:3 DEWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|Der „{{int:prefs-personal}}” Tab.]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Könnt ihr mir ein Beispiel nennen, wie GPS und andere Ortungstechnologien genutzt werden, um mir Inhalte anzuzeigen, die für mich von höherer Relevanz sind? ==

Aber natürlich! Wenn du die mobile Anwendung von Wikipedia nutzt, kannst du durch die Betätigung der Schaltfläche „{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}” herausfinden, ob Artikel über Orte und Dinge in deiner Umgebung vorhanden sind. Dein Gerät wird dich um die Einwilligung bitten, dass dein aktueller Standort identifiziert und verwendet werden darf, bevor die Informationen bezüglich deines Standorts tatsächlich verwendet werden. Wenn du auf diese Funktion von deinem Laptop, Desktop oder einem anderem Gerät ohne GPS-Funktion zugreifst, werden die Browserinformationen verwendet, um deinen Standort zu bestimmen und Artikel über Orte und Dinge (beispielsweise öffentliche Skulpturen oder berühmte Gebäude) in deiner Umgebung zu finden.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Was bedeutet „Meinen Standort ermitteln”? Und wozu benötigt ihr diese Informationen? ==

Wir verwenden einige Download-Produkte wie beispielsweise [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMinds GeoIP City DB]. Damit können wir intern den ungefähren Standort unserer Benutzer ermitteln. Unter „ungefähr” verstehen wir, dass mittels GeoIP City DB dein Standort in der Mitte des Bereichs identifiziert wird, von dem aus die präzisesten Standortdaten bezüglich deiner IP-Adresse übermittelt werden. Die Standortdaten, die mittels deiner IP-Adresse übermittelt werden, setzen sich ausschließlich aus den folgenden Angaben zusammen: Postleitzahl, Stadt, Region oder zum Land. Wenn du dich also für gewöhnlich nicht in der Mitte des Bereichs aufhältst, von dem aus die präzisesten Standortdaten deiner IP-Adresse übermittelt werden, sind die von uns gesammelten Daten einfach nicht gut genug, um deinen exakten Standort zu ermitteln.

Wir führen die Standortbestimmung durch, um dir passende regionale Inhalte anbieten zu können, wie lokale Mitteilungen, Veranstaltungsankündigungen und Spendenkampagnen vor Ort. Um zu sehen, welche Informationen wir zu deiner IP-Adresse gespeichert haben, kannst du jederzeit unser [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP-Lookup-Werkzeug] nutzen und die Informationen überprüfen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== In welchem Fall würdet ihr mich um meine Einwilligung bitten, dass personenbezogene Daten übermittelt werden dürfen? Gibt es Beispiele hierfür? ==

Wenn du ein Stipendium erhältst, um an der [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania] teilzunehmen, würden wir dich um deine Einwilligung bitten, an die Organisatoren der Wikimania, die in dem jeweiligen Jahr die Konferenz durchführen, personenbezogene Daten weitergeben zu dürfen. Dies ermöglicht es den Organisatoren, die entsprechenden Reisevorkehrungen zu treffen. Falls du dich für ein Stipendium bewirbst, werden wir dich möglicherweise um deine Einwilligung bitten, an den [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Stipendiatsausschuss]], der deine Bewerbung überprüft, personenbezogene Daten weitergeben zu dürfen. Oder du möchtest eventuell deinen Wikimedia-Benutzernamen und dein Passwort nutzen, um dich einzuloggen und Daten an eine Webseite, die von Dritten betrieben wird, mit Hilfe von Diensten wie [//openid.net/ OpenID] oder [//oauth.net/ OAuth] weiterzugeben. In diesem Fall werden deine Daten nur mit deiner ausdrücklichen Einwilligung an die von Dritten betriebene Webseite weitergegeben.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== In welchen Fällen darf Wikimedia Benutzerdaten weitergegeben, um Wikimedia-Seiten zu erforschen oder die Einhaltung der Richtlinien durchzusetzen und diese zu schützen? ==

Für uns ist es wichtig, sicherzustellen, dass alle sich an die gleichen Regeln halten. In einigen Fällen ist es erforderlich, die Daten von bestimmten Benutzern zu überprüfen und ihre Daten weiterzugeben, um dies zu gewährleisten.

Benutzerdaten werden beispielsweise weitergegeben, wenn ein [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] einen Missbrauch bei einem Projekt untersucht. Dies ist beispielsweise der Fall, wenn von einem Benutzer vermutet wird, dass er „Sockenpuppen” (mehrere Konten) registriert hat und damit böswillige Zwecke verfolgt, bei Online-Vandalismus, Belästigung von anderen Benutzern oder bei nicht ordnungsgemäßem Verhalten. Wenn ein Benutzer gegen unsere [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Nutzungsbedingungen]] oder sonstige wichtige Richtlinien verstößt, können die personenbezogenen Daten dieses Benutzers an den Internetanbieter, den Netzbetreiber und andere Dritte weitergegeben werden. Diese unterstützen uns bei der Ermittlung von IP-Blöcken oder dem Einreichen einer Beschwerde beim zuständigen Internetanbieter.

Hier ist ein weiteres Beispiel: Wenn wir darüber informiert werden, dass ein Benutzer eine Bombendrohung veröffentlicht hat, sind wir dazu verpflichtet, Informationen bezüglich der Drohung an die örtlichen Behörden weiterzugeben, um das Leben der Menschen vor Ort zu schützen.

Wir können personenbezogene Daten auch für andere legitime wohltätige Zwecke verwenden, die in unserer Datenschutzrichtlinie beschrieben sind.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Könnt ihr mir ein Beispiel dafür nennen, in welchem Fall ihr meine Daten an dritte Anbieter weitergeben würden? ==

Aber natürlich! Die Webseiten von Wikimedia benötigen für ihre Funktion beispielsweise Host-Anbieter, Anbieter von Glasfasernetzwerken, Datenzentren sowie andere Dienstleister und Vertragspartner. Mit diesen Dienstleistern haben wir Verträge geschlossen. Sie haben ausschließlich Zugang zu deinen Daten gemäß den Bestimmungen dieser Datenschutzrichtlinie, um Dienste für uns auszuführen. Es kommt vor, dass wir dritte Anbieter hinzuziehen, die uns bei der Verwaltung der von uns gespeicherten Informationen unterstützen. Wir verwenden beispielsweise bei der Verwaltung der Stipendien Systeme Dritter zur Speicherung der Bewerberinformationen und zur Vereinfachung und effizienteren Gestaltung des Bewerbungsverfahrens. Wir nutzen ebenfalls dritte Anbieter für die E-Mail-Dienste, die wir unseren Mitarbeitern zur Verfügung stellen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Welche Informationen werden offengelegt, wenn ich auf einer Wikimedia-Seite auf einen Link klicke, der mich zu einer externen Seite eines Drittanbieters führt? ==

Wenn du auf einen Link auf einer Wikimedia-Seite klickst, der dich zu einer externen Webseite weiterleitet, übertragen die Referrer-Informationen nur deine Ursprungsdomäne an den Drittanbieter, nicht die spezifische besuchte Wikimedia-Seite. Wenn du beispielsweise einen Artikel auf Wikipedia liest und auf einen Einzelnachweis klickst, der dich zu einem Nachrichtenartikel auf einer externen Seite weiterleitet, enthalten die Referrer-Informationen nur die Wikipedia-Domäne, nicht die spezifische Artikel-URL. Diese Art von Referrer-Richtlinie ist als [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;] bekannt.

Wir begrenzen Referrer-Informationen auf diese Weise, um die Privatsphäre der Benutzer zu schützen, und vermeiden es, vertrauliche Informationen über die von Benutzern angezeigten Seiten preiszugeben, während wir es den Vereinen und Partnern der Bewegung ermöglichen, aggregierte Informationen über den Verkehr zu sammeln, der von von Wikimedia betriebenen Webseiten empfangen wird. Für diejenigen, die mehr wissen möchten und vielleicht daran interessiert sind, mehr Kontrolle über Referrer-Informationen zu haben, hat das Sicherheitsteam der Wikimedia Foundation eine [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|Seite auf Meta]] mit einigen weiteren Details und empfohlenen Werkzeugen vorbereitet.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Worin besteht das Risiko bei der Reidentifikation? ==

In wenigen Fällen (jedoch nicht auf den Webseiten von Wikimedia, soweit wir informiert sind!) ist es unabhängigen Forschern gelungen, bei bestimmten Benutzern eine Verbindung zwischen nicht-personenbezogenen und gesammelten Informationen aus verschiedenen Quellen herzustellen. Wir versuchen dies zu vermeiden, indem wir die Informationen anonymisieren, bevor wir sie für Forschungszwecke weitergeben. Wir möchten dich jedoch auf dieses Risiko hinweisen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Nutzt die Wikimedia Foundation HTTPS auf ihren Seiten? ==

Ja! Seit [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015] implementieren wir auf allen Wikimedia-Seiten reine HTTPS-Kommunikation. Wir haben auch mehrere verwandte Maßnahmen implementiert, um unseren Datenverkehr über die Mindeststandards der Branche hinaus weiter zu sichern, darunter: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser-HSTS-Preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP-Stapling]] und [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]-Serverzertifikate. Wir betten signierte Zertifikatszeitstempel für [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Zertifikatstransparenz]] ein und aktivieren erstklassige Verschlüsselungsoptionen, einschließlich [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] und [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305].  Wir haben [[phab:T147199|veraltete Chiffren abgelehnt]], bevor sie zum nächsten Notfall werden. Für aktuelle Informationen zu unseren Bemühungen siehe unsere [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS-Statusseite]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Nutzt die Wikimedia Foundation ein CAPTCHA auf ihren Seiten? ==

Ja. Ein CAPTCHA-System namens [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]] wurde bereits in den 2000er-Jahren in den Wikis eingeführt. Ab 2025 wurde ein verbessertes System, das auf den Diensten von hCaptcha basiert, auf den Wikimedia-Seiten [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|eingeführt]]. Während das FancyCaptcha-System von allen Nutzern eine Überprüfung verlangte, fordert das neue System nur jene Nutzer dazu auf, bei denen eine hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit besteht, dass es sich um Bots handelt. Zudem liefert uns hCaptcha Hinweise darauf, ob es sich bei der Kontoerstellung oder bei bestimmten Bearbeitungen wahrscheinlich um einen Bot handelt, unabhängig davon, ob im Rahmen der Sitzung eine Überprüfung stattgefunden hat.

Um die Privatsphäre unserer Nutzer zu schützen, setzen wir [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technische Maßnahmen]] ein, die die Sensibilität der an hCaptcha übermittelten Informationen verringern. Zu diesen Maßnahmen gehört die Weiterleitung des Nutzerdatenverkehrs über einen von Wikimedia kontrollierten Proxy, wodurch sichergestellt wird, dass IP-Adressen, sensible Header-Informationen und Cookies der Nutzer nicht an hCaptcha übertragen werden. Zudem kann hCaptcha nicht einsehen, welche spezifischen Seiten-URLs unsere Nutzer aufrufen, und hCaptcha löscht die über unsere Nutzer erhobenen Daten innerhalb von 10 Tagen.

== Könnt ihr mir Beispiele dafür nennen, wie lange meine Daten gespeichert werden? ==

Dies hängt von der Art der Daten ab und auf welche Weise diese gesammelt wurden. Informationen, auf die beispielsweise über unser [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser-Tool]] zugegriffen werden kann, werden nach drei Monaten gelöscht. Andere Informationen wie IP-Adressen, die den Beiträgen von Benutzern zugeordnet werden, die nicht über ein Standardkonto oder ein temporäres Konto bearbeitet haben, werden dauerhaft in der Versionsgeschichte eines Artikels gespeichert. In unseren [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|Richtlinien und Verfahrensweisen zur Datenspeicherung]] kannst du mehr darüber erfahren, wie lange wir bestimmte Datenarten speichern.

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Gibt es ein Organ in der Gemeinschaft, das mit der Aufgabe betraut ist, mutmaßliche Datenschutzverletzungen zu untersuchen? ==

Eine Gruppe von erfahrenen Benutzern, die als [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombudskommission]] bezeichnet wird, ist befugt und autorisiert, Verletzungen und mutmaßliche Verletzungen dieser Datenschutzrichtlinie zu untersuchen. Der Ausschuss ist ebenfalls befugt und autorisiert, Empfehlungen dahingehend an uns auszusprechen, welche Maßnahmen bei einer Verletzung oder mutmaßlichen Verletzung ergriffen werden sollten.

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== In einem Wikipedia-Ariktel stehen Informationen über mich, die nicht mehr aktuell oder nicht korrekt sind! Wie kann ich meine Daten aktualisieren? ==

Die Haupt-[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Datenschutzrichtlinie]] behandelt die personenbezogenen Daten unserer Benutzer. Wenn jedoch veraltete oder ungenaue Informationen über dich in einem Wikipedia-Artikel enthalten sind, kannst du den Artikel am besten aktualisieren, indem du die Inhaltsrichtlinien und -verfahren der Benutzergemeinschaft befolgsr. Du kannst auf der Diskussionsseite des Artikels Kommentare abgeben (indem du oben links auf „Diskussion“ klickst und dann die Seite bearbeitest), um Fragen oder Bedenken zur Überprüfung durch andere Autoren, die an dem Artikel arbeiten, zu äußern. Wenn du es vorziehst, nicht auf der Seite zu kommentieren, kannst du Hilfe von erfahrenen Wikimedia-Freiwilligen erhalten, indem du eine E-Mail an {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} oder an die [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|korrekte E-Mail-Adresse]] für die entsprechende Sprache sendest. Die Wikimedia-Projekte werden gemeinsam geschrieben und durch Konsens vorangetrieben. Das bedeutet, dass Informationen in Wikipedia-Artikeln von einer globalen Gemeinschaft von Benutzern wie dir geschrieben, aktualisiert und überwacht werden. Die Wikimedia Foundation ist der Ansicht, dass die Gemeinschaft im Allgemeinen bestimmen sollte, welche Inhalte zu den Projekten gehören, und wir empfehlen die Verwendung etablierter Gemeinschaftsverfahren, um potenzielle Bedenken oder Streitigkeiten zu lösen.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Was sind Do-Not-Track- oder DNT-Signale und wie reagiert die Wikimedia Foundation auf diese? ==

„Do Not Track“ oder „DNT“ bezeichnet eine Methode, bei der dein Webbrowser der von dir aufgerufenen Website mitteilt, dass du nicht von Internetseiten verfolgt werden möchtest, die du nicht besucht hast, etwa Analysediensten, Werbenetzwerken oder sozialen Plattformen. Wenn du diese Methode verwendest, wird von deinem Browser ein Signal des Inhalts gesendet, dass deine personenbezogenen Daten, insbesondere deine Internetaktivitäten und Netzwerkinteraktionen nicht an Dritte weitergegeben werden sollen. Die Person oder Organisation, die die betreffende Website betreibt, hat beim Empfang eines DNT-Signals anschließend die Möglichkeit, dieser Anfrage zu folgen oder sie zu ignorieren.

Die Wikimedia Foundation fühlt sich nachdrücklich verpflichtet, personenbezogene Daten, die wir von dir erfassen (einschließlich deiner online-Aktivitäten und Interaktionen mit Wikimedia-Seiten), nicht mit Dritten zu teilen, außer unter bestimmten Umständen, die im Abschnitt „[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Weitergabe]]” der Datenschutzrichtlinie dargelegt sind.

Aufgrund dieser Selbstverpflichtung schützen wir jeden und ändern unser Verhalten nicht als Reaktion auf das DNT-Signal eines Browsers.

Weitere Informationen über DNT-Signale findest du in auf der Internetseite [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us] und in der [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ Do-Not-Track-Spezifikation des World Wide Web Consortium].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== Ich dachte, dass ich kein Benutzerkonto brauche um zu lesen oder beizutragen! In welchen Fällen muss ich mich registrieren um zu lesen oder beizutragen? ==

Du brauchst kein Benutzerkonto, um öffentliche Wikimedia-Seiten zu lesen. Und in den meisten Fällen brauchst du kein Benutzerkonto, um zu einer Wikimedia-Seite beizutragen. Eine lokale Gemeinschaft von Autoren oder Beitragenden (zum Beispiel die englischsprachige Wikipedia-Gemeinschaft oder die malaiische Wiktionary-Gemeinschaft) oder die Wikimedia Foundation selbst kann sich dazu entschließen, vorübergehende oder dauerhafte Einschränkungen von dem, was du ändern kannst, einzurichten. Beispielsweise kann die Bearbeitung einer bestimmte Seite wegen Vandalismus oder Urheberrechtsverletzungen ausschließlich auf erfahrenen Benutzern oder Administratoren eingeschränkt werden. Du kannst zudem keine Inhalte wie Bilder oder Videos hochladen, wenn du nicht angemeldet bist, weil wir sicherstellen müssen, dass eine ordnungsgemäße Genehmigung des Urheberrechtsinhabers eingeholt wurde (sofern die Datei nicht bereits gemeinfrei ist), um den Inhalt zu veröffentlichen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Können ihr mir ein paar Beispiele geben, welche Art von Informationen durch die Logbücher verfügbar ist? ==

Ja klar! Die Logbücher können enthalten, wann dein Konto erstellt wurde, wann du eine Seite gelöscht hast, oder wann du einem Benutzer gedankt hast. Wenn du ein Beispiel haben möchtest, kannst du dir unter [[Special:Log|Special:Log]] die öffentlichen Logbücher für dieses Wiki ansehen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Kann ich alle Inhalte, die ich auf einer Wikimedia-Seite veröffentliche, löschen und/oder anonymisieren, wenn ich nicht persönlich identifiziert werden möchte? Wenn ja, wie? ==

Die Wikimedia-Seiten verwenden öffentlich zugängliche Versionsgeschichten, um einen Konsens zu erzielen, die Transparenz zwischen Mitwirkenden und Autoren zu fördern und die Authentizität des Inhalts unserer Seiten zu bestätigen. Sobald du Informationen auf den Wikimedia-Seiten veröffentlichst, sind diese daher öffentlich und du wirst sie wahrscheinlich nicht mehr entfernen können. Selbst wenn du bestimmte Inhalte (z. B. aus einem Wikipedia-Artikel) selbst entfernst, bleiben sie weiterhin im Bereich „Versionsgeschichte“ des Artikels öffentlich verfügbar. Unter bestimmten Umständen kannst du verlangen, dass eine Seite oder Datei oder ein Teil der Versionsgeschichte einer Seite oder Datei aus der öffentlichen Sichtbarkeit entfernt wird (z. B. wenn du versehentlich personenbezogene Daten mit hohem Risiko wie deine Kreditkartennummer veröffentlichst). Bitte beachte, dass Entfernungsentscheidungen (d. h. das Löschen eines ganzen Artikels) nicht immer zentral getroffen werden und manchmal nach einer öffentlichen Diskussion in der Wikipedia-Gemeinschaft erfolgen (siehe die [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Löschrichtlinie]] der englischsprachigen Wikipedia für weitere Informationen). Dieses Verfahren stellt keine vollständige oder umfassende Entfernung der auf den Wikimedia-Seiten veröffentlichten Inhalte oder Informationen sicher.

Du kannst auch eine Unterdrückung (Oversight) beantragen, um Versionen, Benutzernamen in Versionsgeschichten und Logbüchern oder Teile einzelner Logbucheinträge zu verstecken. Die Unterdrückung ist ein On-Wiki-Prozess, der in bestimmten Fälle angewendet wird. Weitere Informationen und Anweisungen findest du auf der [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki-Seite zur Unterdrückung]].

Wenn du ein registrierter Benutzer bist, empfehlen wir dir, deinen richtigen Namen nicht als deinen Benutzernamen zu verwenden, wenn du nicht möchtest, dass andere eine Verbindung zwischen dem, was du auf den Wikimedia-Seiten veröffentlichst, und deinem richtigen Namen herstellen. Weitere Informationen zur Auswahl deines Benutzernamens findest du in der [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|Benutzernamensrichtlinie]] der englischsprachigen Wikipedia. Bitte beachte, dass diese Benutzernamensrichtlinie nur für die englischsprachige Wikipedia gilt und verschiedene Wikipedias unterschiedliche Richtlinien haben. Wir empfehlen, die Benutzernamensrichtlinie für das Projekt, das du nutzen möchtest, zu überprüfen, um sicherzustellen, dass du die lokale Praxis befolgst.

Wenn du bereits personenbezogene Daten (z. B. deinen richtigen Namen) in deinen Benutzernamen aufgenommen hast und nicht mit deinen Beiträgen persönlich identifiziert werden möchtest, empfehlen wir dir, die Anonymisierung der Informationen zu beantragen (anstatt mit den Entfernungs- und Unterdrückungsprozessen fortzufahren  wie oben beschrieben), indem du eine Änderung deines Benutzernamens beantragst. Informationen zum Ändern deines Benutzernamens findest du auf [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|der Meta-Wiki-Seite zum Ändern des Benutzernamens]].

Der Anonymisierungsprozess kann keine vollständige oder umfassende Anonymisierung aller Inhalte oder personenbezogenen Daten gewährleisten, die auf Wikimedia-Seiten veröffentlicht wurden und sich auf deinen vorherigen Benutzernamen beziehen. Wenn deinem Antrag stattgegeben wird, erfolgt die Namensänderung nur in automatisch generierten Logbüchern (wie Versionsgeschichten) in Verbindung mit von dir veröffentlichten Inhalten. Durch die Namensänderung werden Erwähnungen deines früheren Benutzernamens durch Dritte nicht gelöscht. Wenn du beispielsweise deinen Benutzernamen von MichaelPaul in Owlwatcher345 geändert hast, werden die von dir beigesteuerten Inhalte Owlwatcher345 zugeschrieben, aber wenn ein anderer Benutzer dich mit dem Namen MichaelPaul auf einer Diskussionsseite erwähnt hat, wird weiterhin MichaelPaul und nicht Owlwatcher345 angezeigt.

Bitte lies unsere [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Datenschutzrichtlinie]] für weitere Informationen über deine Wahlmöglichkeiten in Bezug auf unsere Nutzung deiner personenbezogenen Daten und dazu, wie du diese Wahlmöglichkeiten ausüben kannst.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== Apakah yang berbeza mengenai Dasar Privasi ini? Bolehkah saya melihat versi-versi lama? ==

Seperti kebanyakan pertubuhan, kami telah berkembang dan berubah sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, dan kami menggubal Dasar Privasi ini dengan harapan bahawa ia mencerminkan bukan sahaja amalan semasa kami, malah juga arah tuju kami di masa hadapan. Matlamat kami adalah menjadikan Dasar Privasi ini mudah dibaca dan telus mengenai cara-cara kami mengumpulkan maklumat dan menggunakannya untuk memahami dengan lebih baik dan memperbaiki Tapak-Tapak Wikimedia untuk anda.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Back to Privacy Policy&lt;/span&gt;]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Bolehkah anda kemukakan beberapa contoh jenis kuki dan bagaimana anda menggunakan storan tempatan? ==

Sudah pasti! Kuki (dan teknologi storan LocalStorage yang berkaitan) yang digunakan dalam tapak-tapak Wikimedia biasanya terbahagi dalam kategori-kategori berikut:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Fungsi: Kuki-kuki ini membantu tapak web kami berfungsi, termasuklah ciri-ciri penting seperti log masuk.&lt;/span&gt;
* Keutamaan: Kuki-kuki ini menyimpan keutamaan-keutamaan anda supaya dapat diingat semula ketika anda menggunakan tapak web kami lain kali.
* Prestasi dan Analisis: Kuki-kuki ini mengumpul maklumat mengenai bagaimana anda menggunakan tapak web kami supaya kami dapat memahami dengan lebih baik bagaimana tapak web kami berfungsi dan memperbaikinya untuk anda dan pengguna-pengguna lain.
* Pihak Ketiga: Kuki-kuki ini membolehkan kami memberi perkhidmatan yang dibekalkan oleh pihak ketiga, contohnya butang &quot;suka&quot; dan &quot;kongsi&quot;. Apabila satu pihak ketiga membekalkan perkhidmatan sedemikian, mereka mungkin memerlukan kuki untuk membekalkan perkhidmatan mereka. (Kuki-kuki ini hanya digunakan dengan persetujuan afirmatif anda.)

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== Wat is er veranderd in het het privacybeleid? Kan ik de oudere versies zien? ==

Zoals veel organisaties zijn we in de loop der jaren gegroeid en veranderd, en we hebben dit privacybeleid opgesteld in de hoop dat het niet alleen onze huidige praktijken beter zou weerspiegelen, maar ook waar we in de toekomst naartoe hopen te gaan. Ons doel was om dit Privacybeleid gemakkelijk leesbaar en transparant te maken over de manier waarop we informatie verzamelen en gebruiken om de Wikimedia-sites voor u beter te maken.

Als u geïnteresseerd bent in het lezen van ons eerdere privacybeleid, we houden eerdere versies ervan toegankelijk. Aangezien we ons privacybeleid op een wiki bijhouden, kunt u  [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} deze pagina] gebruiken om revisies te vergelijken! De grote herzieningen zijn van [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] en [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== Wat zijn een &quot;standaardaccount&quot;, een &quot;tijdelijk account&quot; en een &quot;niet-standaardaccount&quot;? ==

Een standaardaccount is een account waarvoor u zich kunt aanmelden om door de belangrijkste Wikimedia-projecten zoals Wikipedia of Wikimedia Commons te bladeren of deze te bewerken. Meestal hoeft u niet meer dan een gebruikersnaam en wachtwoord op te geven om een standaardaccount bij de Wikimedia Foundation aan te maken; Als u echter een standaardaccount maakt met behulp van een systeem dat wordt beheerd door een derde partij, moet u mogelijk aanvullende informatie verstrekken, zoals een e-mailadres. Een niet-standaard account is een account waarvoor u zich kunt aanmelden om op een meer diepgaande manier deel te nemen aan de Wikimedia-beweging, buiten het lezen van of bijdragen aan een van onze belangrijkste projecten zoals Wikipedia.

Een [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|tijdelijk account]] is een account dat automatisch wordt aangemaakt wanneer u bepaalde acties onderneemt, zoals bewerken op de Wikimedia-sites en niet bent ingelogd op een standaardaccount. Latere bewerkingen op hetzelfde apparaat en dezelfde browser worden toegeschreven aan hetzelfde tijdelijke account totdat het account verloopt. U kunt zich niet aanmelden bij het tijdelijke account buiten hetzelfde apparaat en in dezelfde browser, aangezien deze accounts geen wachtwoord hebben. Een tijdelijk account is geldig voor een periode van maximaal 90 dagen, tenzij u de browsersessie eerder verlaat. Op dit moment wordt het tijdelijke account automatisch gedeactiveerd. Er wordt een nieuw tijdelijk account gemaakt bij eventuele latere bewerkingen.

Als u zich bijvoorbeeld registreert voor een account op niet-wikisites zoals [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]] of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] of werk aan een speciaal initiatief zoals Global Education, moet u zich mogelijk registreren voor een account om deel te nemen en registratie voor die accounts kan aanvullende informatie vereisen anders dan een gebruikersnaam en wachtwoord, zoals een e-mailadres.

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Kunt u mij voorbeelden geven van wat voor type cookies er gebruikt worden? ==

Zeker! De cookies (en gerelateerde lokale opslagtechnologieën) die door de Wikimedia-sites worden gebruikt, vallen over het algemeen in de volgende categorieën:

* Functionaliteit: Deze cookies helpen de Wikimedia-sites te werken, inclusief essentiële functies zoals inloggen en het beheren van tijdelijke accounts.
* Voorkeuren: Deze cookies slaan uw voorkeuren op, zodat ze bekend zijn als u de volgende keer weer de site gebruikt.
* Prestaties en analyse: Deze cookies verzamelen informatie over hoe u onze website gebruikt, zodat we beter kunnen begrijpen hoe de website werkt en deze voor u en andere gebruikers kunnen verbeteren.
* Derde partij: Deze cookies stellen ons in staat om diensten te verlenen die door derden worden geleverd, zoals &quot;vind ik leuk&quot; en &quot;delen&quot; knoppen. Wanneer een derde partij dit soort diensten aanbiedt, kan het gebruik van een cookie nodig zijn om hun diensten te kunnen leveren. (Deze worden alleen gebruikt met uw toestemming.)

== Welke opties heb ik om het gebruik van lokaal opgeslagen gegevens op mijn apparaat te beperken? ==

Hoewel dit geen uitgebreide lijst is, zijn hier enkele dingen die u kunt doen om het gebruik van lokaal opgeslagen gegevens op uw apparaat te beperken. U kunt:

* specifieke lokaal opgeslagen gegevens in de instellingen van uw browser verwijderen of het gebruik uitschakelen;
* een browser te gebruiken die cookies van derden kan blokkeren; of
* Installeer een plug-in om lokaal opgeslagen gegevens te blokkeren, indien beschikbaar.

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Hoe email ik binnen de Wikimedia websites en hoe verander ik de notificaties die ik krijg? ==

U kunt wijzigen welke meldingen u ontvangt door:

: (a) Klikken op de link na &quot;Om te bepalen welke e-mails we u sturen, controleert u uw voorkeuren&quot; onderaan elke e-mailmelding die we u sturen, zoals hieronder te zien is; of
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) Meld u aan bij uw account, klik op &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; in de rechterbovenhoek van uw scherm en klik vervolgens op &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|De tab &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|De tab &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

U heeft ook de mogelijkheid om de functie &quot;Deze gebruiker e-mailen&quot; in te schakelen, waarmee andere gebruikers u rechtstreeks kunnen e-mailen door op &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; te klikken in het menu Hulpmiddelen op uw gebruikerspagina. Als u deze functie inschakelt, wordt uw e-mailadres niet onthuld wanneer andere gebruikers contact met u opnemen (hoewel dit wel het geval is als u antwoordt). Als u deze functie inschakelt, kan elke andere gebruiker u een e-mail sturen en hebben we geen controle over wat of hoe vaak ze u e-mailen. U kunt deze functie als volgt inschakelen:

: Log in op uw account, klik op &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, klik vervolgens op &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; en vink het vakje &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; aan.

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Kunt u me een voorbeeld geven van hoe ik GPS en andere locatietechnologieën kan gebruikt om voor mij relevantere inhoud krijg te zien? ==

Als u de mobiele applicatie van Wikipedia gebruikt, kunt u nagaan of er artikelen zijn over plaatsen en dingen bij u in de buurt door de knop &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; te gebruiken. Uw apparaat vraagt uw toestemming om uw huidige locatie te identificeren en te gebruiken voordat u uw locatiegegevens daadwerkelijk gebruikt. Als u deze functie opent op uw laptop, desktop of apparaat zonder GPS, gebruikt deze functie uw informatie van uw browser om uw locatie te achterhalen en artikelen te vinden over plaatsen en dingen (zoals openbare sculpturen of beroemde gebouwen) bij u in de buurt.

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Wat wordt er bedoelt met &quot;mijn geografische locatie afleiden&quot;? Waarvoor is dat nodig? ==

We gebruiken een aantal gedownloade producten, zoals [//www.maxmind.com/en/city GeoIP City DB van MaxMind], waarmee we intern de geschatte locatie van onze gebruikers kunnen bepalen. En als we 'bij benadering' zeggen, bedoelen we het: de GeoIP City DB lost uw locatie op in het midden van de meest nauwkeurige gebiedsgegevens die aan uw IP zijn gekoppeld. De enige mogelijkheden voor gekoppelde gebiedsgegevens zijn postcode, stad, regio of land. Tenzij u zich gewoonlijk in het geografische midden van het meest specifieke gebied bevindt dat aan uw IP-adres is gekoppeld, is het onwaarschijnlijk dat de gegevens die we ophalen goed genoeg zijn om u daadwerkelijk te vinden.

We doen dit zodat u kunt worden bediend met geschikte regionale inhoud, zoals lokale kennisgevingen, aankondigingen van evenementen en lokale fondsenwervingscampagnes. Om te zien welke informatie we hebben geregistreerd voor uw IP-adres, kunt u onze [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP-hulpmiddel] op elk gewenst moment laden en het resultaat controleren.

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Wat zijn enkele voorbeelden van wanneer ik u toestemming zou geven om mijn informatie te delen? ==

Als u een beurs ontvangt om naar [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania] te gaan, kunnen we uw toestemming vragen om uw informatie te delen met de lokale afdeling die Wikimania dat jaar organiseert, zodat we passende reisarrangementen kunnen maken. Of als u een subsidie aanvraagt, kunnen we uw toestemming vragen om uw informatie te delen met leden van de [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] voor het beoordelen van uw subsidieaanvraag. Of misschien wilt u uw Wikimedia-gebruikersnaam en -wachtwoord gebruiken om in te loggen en informatie naar een site van derden te verzenden, met behulp van diensten als [//openid.net/ OpenID] of [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in welk geval uw informatie alleen met uw uitdrukkelijke toestemming naar de site van derden wordt verzonden.

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Op welke manieren kunt u gebruikersinformatie gebruiken of delen, zoals het onderzoeken, afdwingen of verdedigen van de Wikimedia-sites en het Wikimedia-beleid? ==

Het is belangrijk voor ons om ervoor te zorgen dat iedereen volgens dezelfde regels speelt, en soms betekent dit dat we de informatie van specifieke gebruikers moeten onderzoeken en delen om ervoor te zorgen dat ze dat zijn.

Gebruikersinformatie kan bijvoorbeeld worden gedeeld wanneer een [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] misbruik op een Project onderzoekt, zoals vermoedelijk gebruik van kwaadaardige &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (dubbele accounts), vandalisme, intimidatie van andere gebruikers of storend gedrag. Als blijkt dat een gebruiker onze [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Gebruiksvoorwaarden]] of ander relevant beleid schendt, kan de persoonlijke informatie van de gebruiker worden vrijgegeven aan een serviceprovider, provider of andere externe entiteit, bijvoorbeeld om te helpen bij het oprichten van IP-blokkades of om een klacht in te dienen bij de relevante internetprovider.

Een ander voorbeeld: als we een melding krijgen dat een gebruiker een bommelding heeft gedaan, moeten we mogelijk informatie met betrekking tot die dreiging melden aan lokale autoriteiten om die bedreiging op te lossen.

We kunnen persoonlijke informatie ook gebruiken voor andere legitieme liefdadigheidsdoeleinden die worden beschreven in ons privacybeleid.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Kunt u mij enkele categorieën en voorbeelden geven van wanneer u mijn informatie zou delen met externe providers? ==

Natuurlijk! Wikimedia-sites vertrouwen op hostingproviders, glasvezelnetwerkproviders, datacenters en andere serviceproviders en soortgelijke diensten. We hebben een contract met deze serviceproviders en zij hebben alleen toegang tot uw gegevens om diensten voor ons uit te voeren in overeenstemming met dit beleid. Andere keren kunnen we externe leveranciers gebruiken om ons te helpen bij het beheren van de informatie die we opslaan of gebruiken, verzoeken van gebruikers en andere operationele behoeften (zoals audits). We kunnen bijvoorbeeld subsidiebeheersystemen van derden gebruiken om informatie over subsidieaanvragers te bewaren en ons aanvraagproces eenvoudiger en efficiënter te maken, of we kunnen externe leveranciers gebruiken voor e-mail- en meldingsdiensten voor personeel en gebruikers.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Welke informatie wordt gebruikt wanneer ik op een link op een Wikimedia-site klik die me naar een externe site van derden brengt? ==

Wanneer u op een link op een Wikimedia-site klikt die u naar een externe website stuurt, verzendt de verwijzende informatie alleen de herkomst van uw domein, niet de specifieke bezochte Wikimedia-pagina, naar die bestemming van derden. Als u bijvoorbeeld een artikel op Wikipedia leest en op een citaat klikt dat u naar een nieuwsartikel op een externe site leidt, bevat de verwijzende informatie alleen het Wikipedia-domein, niet de specifieke artikel-URL. Dit type verwijzingsbeleid staat bekend als [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].

We beperken verwijzingsinformatie op deze manier om de privacy van gebruikers te beschermen en te voorkomen dat gevoelige informatie wordt onthuld over de pagina's die door gebruikers worden bekeken, terwijl we gelieerde ondernemingen en partners toestaan om geaggregeerde informatie te verzamelen over verkeer dat is ontvangen van door Wikimedia beheerde websites. Voor degenen die meer willen weten, en misschien geïnteresseerd zijn in meer controle over verwijzende informatie, heeft het Wikimedia Foundation Security-team een [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|pagina op Meta]] opgesteld met wat meer details en aanbevolen hulpmiddelen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Wat is het risico van heridentificatie? ==

In een paar gevallen (zonder de Wikimedia-sites te betrekken voor zover we weten!), zijn onafhankelijke onderzoekers in staat geweest om niet-persoonlijke en geaggregeerde informatie uit verschillende bronnen aan bepaalde gebruikers te koppelen. Hoewel we dit proberen te voorkomen door te proberen persoonlijke informatie te de-identificeren voordat we deze delen voor onderzoeksdoeleinden, willen we ervoor zorgen dat u zich bewust bent van dit risico.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Gebruikt de Wikimedia Foundation HTTPS op haar sites? ==

Ja! We implementeren in [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015] https-only communicatie op alle Wikimedia-sites. We hebben ook verschillende gerelateerde maatregelen geïmplementeerd om ons verkeer verder te beveiligen dan de minimumnormen in de branche, waaronder: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]] en [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] servercertificaten. We sluiten tijdstempels voor ondertekende certificaten in voor [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificaattransparantie]] en schakelen de beste coderingsopties in zijn klasse in, waaronder [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] en [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We hebben ook [[phab:T147199 aangepast]]. Voor het laatste nieuws over onze inspanningen, zie onze [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS-statuspagina]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Gebruikt de Wikimedia Foundation CAPTCHA op haar sites? ==

Ja. Het CAPTCHA-systeem [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]] werd voor het eerst geïntroduceerd op de wiki's in de jaren 2000. Vanaf 2025 begon een verbeterd systeem met hCaptcha-diensten [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|uitgerold te worden]] op Wikimedia-sites. Het FancyCaptcha-systeem daagde alle gebruikers uit, terwijl het nieuwe systeem alleen gebruikers uitdaagde die waarschijnlijk bots zijn. hCaptcha geeft ons ook &quot;waarschijnlijke bot&quot;-signalen voor accountaanmaak en bewerkingen die worden behandeld, ongeacht of de sessie werd aangevochten of niet.

Om de privacy van onze gebruikers te beschermen, hebben we [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technische maatregelen]] genomen om de gevoeligheid van de informatie die we naar hCaptcha sturen te verminderen. Deze maatregelen omvatten het routeren van ons gebruikersverkeer via een door Wikimedia gecontroleerde proxy om ervoor te zorgen dat IP-adressen, gevoelige headers en cookies van gebruikers niet naar hCaptcha worden gestuurd. hCaptcha kan ook de specifieke pagina-URL's die onze gebruikers bezoeken niet zien, en hCaptcha verwijdert de gegevens die ze wel verzamelen over onze gebruikers binnen 10 dagen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Hoe lang worden mijn gegevens door jullie bewaard? ==

Het hangt af van het type gegevens en hoe het is verzameld. Bijvoorbeeld informatie die toegankelijk is voor het [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser hulpmiddel]] wordt na drie maanden verwijderd. Andere informatie, zoals de IP-adressen die zijn gekoppeld aan bijdragen van gebruikers die niet bewerken met een [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standaardaccount of tijdelijk account]], zijn voor onbepaalde tijd zichtbaar in de revisiegeschiedenis van een artikel. Meer informatie over hoe lang we verschillende soorten gegevens bewaren, vindt u in onze [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|richtlijnen voor het bewaren van gegevens]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Is er een gemeenschapsorgaan dat belast is met het onderzoeken van vermeende privacyschendingen? ==

Een groep ervaren gebruikers genaamd de [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombudscommissie]] heeft de bevoegdheid om schendingen en vermeende schendingen van dit privacybeleid te onderzoeken en ons aanbevelingen te doen over hoe een schending of vermeende schending kan worden aangepakt.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== Er staat verouderde of onjuiste informatie over mij in een Wikipedia-artikel! Hoe kan ik mijn gegevens bijwerken? ==

Het belangrijkste [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacybeleid]] heeft betrekking op de persoonlijke informatie van onze gebruikers. Als er echter verouderde of onnauwkeurige informatie over u in een Wikipedia-artikel staat, is de beste manier om het artikel bijgewerkt te krijgen, het inhoudsbeleid en de procedures van de gebruikersgemeenschap te volgen. U kunt reageren op de overlegpagina van het artikel (door linksboven op &quot;praten&quot; te klikken en vervolgens de pagina te bewerken) om eventuele vragen of zorgen ter beoordeling door andere redacteuren die aan het artikel werken aan de orde te stellen. Als u liever geen commentaar geeft op de pagina, kunt u hulp krijgen van ervaren Wikimedia-vrijwilligers door een e-mail te sturen naar {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, of het [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|juiste e-mailadres]] voor de betreffende taal. De Wikimedia-projecten zijn gezamenlijk geschreven en worden gedreven door consensus. Dit betekent dat informatie in Wikipedia-artikelen wordt geschreven, bijgewerkt en gecontroleerd door een wereldwijde gemeenschap van gebruikers zoals u. De Wikimedia Foundation is van mening dat de gemeenschap in het algemeen moet bepalen welke inhoud op de projecten thuishoort, en we moedigen het gebruik van gevestigde gemeenschapsprocedures aan om mogelijke zorgen of geschillen op te lossen.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Wat is Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) en hoe reageert de Wikimedia Foundation hierop? ==

&quot;Do Not Track&quot; is een manier voor uw webbrowser om de website die u bezoekt te vertellen dat u niet wilt worden gevolgd door derden van wie u de websites niet hebt bezocht, zoals analyseservices, advertentienetwerken en sociale platforms. Bij het gebruik van dit mechanisme wordt een signaal verzonden door uw browser, waarin u uw wens uitdrukt dat uw persoonlijke informatie, met name over uw online activiteiten en netwerkinteracties, niet aan derden mag worden doorgegeven. Bij het ontvangen van een DNT-signaal dat door uw browser wordt verzonden, heeft de persoon of entiteit die eigenaar is van de website de mogelijkheid om het bovengenoemde verzoek te honoreren of te negeren.

De Wikimedia Foundation doet er alles aan om de persoonlijke informatie die we van u verzamelen (inclusief uw online activiteiten en netwerkinteracties met Wikimedia-sites) niet te delen met derden, behalve in de specifieke situaties die worden beschreven in de &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Wanneer kunnen we uw informatie delen]]&quot; sectie van ons Privacybeleid.

Vanwege deze toewijding beschermen we iedereen en veranderen we ons gedrag niet als reactie op het DNT-signaal van een webbrowser.

Meer informatie over &quot;Do Not Track&quot;-technologie en beleidsvoorstel vindt u op [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us] en die specificatie van het [$w 3DNT World Wide Web Consortium].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== Ik dacht dat ik nooit een account nodig had om te lezen of bij te dragen! Onder welke omstandigheden moet ik me registreren om te lezen of bij te dragen? ==

U heeft nooit een account nodig om een openbare Wikimedia-site te lezen. En in de meeste gevallen heeft u geen account nodig om bij te dragen aan een Wikimedia-site. Er zijn echter een paar zeldzame gevallen waarin u een account moet registreren als u wilt bijdragen. Een lokale gemeenschap van redacteuren of bijdragers (bijvoorbeeld de Engelse Wikipedia-gemeenschap of de Maleisische Wikiwoordenboekgemeenschap) of de Wikimedia Foundation zelf kan besluiten om tijdelijke of permanente beperkingen op te leggen aan wat u kunt wijzigen. Een specifieke pagina kan bijvoorbeeld tijdelijk worden beperkt om te bewerken om alleen ervaren of administratieve gebruikers toe te staan vanwege vandalisme of auteursrechtelijke problemen. U mag ook geen inhoud zoals afbeeldingen of video's uploaden zonder ingelogd te zijn, omdat we moeten verifiëren dat de juiste toestemmingen zijn verkregen van de houder van het auteursrecht (als de media zich nog niet in het publieke domein bevinden) om de inhoud te plaatsen.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Kunt u mij enkele voorbeelden geven van wat voor soort informatie beschikbaar is via openbare logboeken? ==

Zeker! Openbare logboeken kunnen bevatten wanneer uw account is gemaakt, wanneer u een pagina hebt verwijderd of wanneer u een andere gebruiker hebt bedankt. Als u een voorbeeld wilt, kunt u ook bladeren door enkele van de openbare logboeken voor deze wiki op [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Kan ik inhoud die ik op een Wikimedia-site plaats verwijderen en/of anonimiseren als ik niet persoonlijk geïdentificeerd wil worden? Zo ja, hoe? ==

De Wikimedia-sites gebruiken openbaar beschikbare revisiegeschiedenissen om consensus te bereiken, transparantie onder bijdragers en redacteuren te bevorderen en de authenticiteit van de inhoud van onze sites te bevestigen. Daarom, zodra u informatie op de Wikimedia-sites plaatst, is deze openbaar en kunt u deze waarschijnlijk niet verwijderen. Zelfs als u bepaalde inhoud (bijvoorbeeld uit een Wikipedia-artikel) zelf verwijdert, blijft deze nog steeds openbaar beschikbaar in het gedeelte &quot;geschiedenis bekijken&quot; van het artikel. Onder bepaalde omstandigheden kunt u mogelijk verzoeken om verwijdering van een pagina of bestand of een deel van de geschiedenis van een pagina of bestand uit de openbare zichtbaarheid (bijvoorbeeld als u per ongeluk persoonlijke informatie met een hoog risico plaatst, zoals uw creditcardnummer). Houd er rekening mee dat verwijderingsbesluiten (d.w.z. het verwijderen van een heel artikel) worden niet altijd centraal gemaakt, en soms komen ze na een openbare discussie binnen de Wikipedia-gemeenschap (zie het [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|verwijderingsbeleid]] van de Engelse Wikipedia voor verdere referentie). Deze procedure garandeert geen volledige of uitgebreide verwijdering van de inhoud of informatie die op de Wikimedia-sites is geplaatst.

U kunt ook onderdrukking (toezicht) aanvragen om revisies, gebruikersnamen in bewerkingsgeschiedenissen en logboeken of delen van afzonderlijke logboekvermeldingen te verbergen. Onderdrukking is een on-wiki-proces dat van toepassing is op specifieke toepassingen. Zie de [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki pagina over onderdrukking]] voor meer informatie en instructies.

Als u een geregistreerde gebruiker bent, raden we u aan om uw echte naam niet als uw gebruikersnaam te gebruiken als u niet wilt dat anderen een verband hebben tussen wat u op de Wikimedia-sites plaatst en uw echte naam. U kunt meer te weten komen over het kiezen van uw gebruikersnaam in de [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|gebruikersnaambeleid]] van de Engelstalige Wikipedia. Houd er rekening mee dat dit gebruikersnaambeleid alleen van toepassing is op de Engelstalige Wikipedia en dat verschillende Wikipedia's verschillende beleidsregels hebben. We raden u aan het gebruikersnaambeleid te controleren op het project dat u wilt gebruiken om er zeker van te zijn dat u voldoet aan de lokale praktijk.

Als u al persoonlijk identificeerbare informatie (zoals uw echte naam) in uw gebruikersnaam hebt opgenomen en niet persoonlijk wilt worden geïdentificeerd met uw bijdragen, raden we u aan om de anonimisering van de informatie aan te vragen (in plaats van door te gaan met de hierboven beschreven verwijderings- en onderdrukkingsprocessen) door een wijziging van uw gebruikersnaam aan te vragen. Voor informatie over het wijzigen van uw gebruikersnaam, zie [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|de Meta-Wiki-pagina over het wijzigen van gebruikersnaam]].

Het de-identificatieproces kan geen volledige of uitgebreide anonimisering garanderen van alle inhoud of persoonlijke informatie die op Wikimedia-sites is geplaatst met betrekking tot uw eerdere gebruikersnaam. Als uw verzoek wordt ingewilligd, vindt de naamswijziging alleen plaats in automatisch gegenereerde logboeken (zoals paginageschiedenissen) in verband met inhoud die u hebt geplaatst. De naamswijziging zal geen vermeldingen van uw eerdere gebruikersnaam door derden verwijderen. Als u bijvoorbeeld uw gebruikersnaam hebt gewijzigd van MichaelPaul in Owlwatcher345, wordt de inhoud die u hebt bijgedragen toegeschreven aan Owlwatcher345, maar als een andere gebruiker u bij de naam MichaelPaul heeft genoemd op een discussiepagina, blijft MichaelPaul verschijnen in plaats van Owlwatcher345.

Raadpleeg onze [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacybeleid]] voor meer informatie over uw keuzes met betrekking tot ons gebruik van uw persoonlijke informatie en hoe u deze keuzes kunt uitoefenen.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|“{{int:mypreferences}}” fanen]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

== Có những gì khác nhau về chính sách bảo mật này? Tôi có thể xem các phiên bản cũ hơn không? ==

Giống như nhiều tổ chức, chúng tôi đã phát triển và thay đổi trong những năm qua, và chúng tôi đã soạn thảo Chính sách bảo mật này với hy vọng rằng nó sẽ phản ánh tốt hơn không chỉ các hoạt động hiện tại của chúng tôi, mà còn là nơi chúng tôi hy vọng sẽ đi trong tương lai. Mục tiêu của chúng tôi là làm cho Chính sách quyền riêng tư này dễ đọc và minh bạch về cách chúng tôi thu thập thông tin và sử dụng nó để hiểu rõ hơn và cải thiện Các dự án Wikimedia cho bạn.

Nếu bạn quan tâm đến việc đọc bất kỳ Chính sách bảo mật nào trước đây của chúng tôi, chúng tôi sẽ giữ các phiên bản trước của Chính sách bảo mật của chúng tôi có thể truy cập và trong kho lưu trữ để bạn xem xét. Vì chúng tôi duy trì Chính sách quyền riêng tư của mình trên wiki, bạn có thể sử dụng [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page Lịch sử] để so sánh các sửa đổi! Những chỗ có sửa đổi lớn là từ [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Điểm khác nhau giữa một tài khoản tiêu chuẩn khi so với một tài khoản phi tiêu chuẩn?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Tài khoản chuẩn là tài khoản mà bạn có thể đăng ký để duyệt hoặc chỉnh sửa các dự án chính của Wikimedia như Wikipedia hoặc Wikimedia Commons. Thông thường, bạn không cần cung cấp nhiều hơn tên người dùng và mật khẩu để tạo tài khoản chuẩn với WMF; tuy nhiên, nếu bạn tạo một tài khoản tiêu chuẩn bằng hệ thống do bên thứ ba điều hành, thì bạn có thể được yêu cầu cung cấp thêm thông tin, chẳng hạn như địa chỉ email. Tài khoản không chuẩn là tài khoản mà bạn có thể đăng ký để tham gia vào phong trào Wikimedia theo cách sâu hơn, ngoài việc đọc hoặc đóng góp cho một trong những dự án chính của chúng tôi như Wikipedia.
&lt;br/&gt;
Ví dụ: nếu bạn đăng ký tài khoản trên các trang web không phải wiki như [$phovenatorlink Photypeator], [$gerritlink Gerrit] hoặc [[$otrslink|OTRS]] hoặc làm việc trên một sáng kiến ​​đặc biệt như Global Education, bạn có thể bắt buộc phải đăng ký tài khoản để tham gia và đăng ký những tài khoản đó có thể yêu cầu thêm thông tin ngoài tên người dùng và mật khẩu, chẳng hạn như địa chỉ email.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Bạn có thể cho tôi một số ví dụ về các loại cookie và cách bạn sử dụng lưu trữ cục bộ không? ==

Chắc chắn rồi! Các cookie (và các công nghệ lưu trữ lưu trữ cục bộ có liên quan) được sử dụng bởi các trang Wikimedia thường thuộc các loại sau:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Chức năng: Những cookie này giúp Trang web Wikimedia hoạt động, bao gồm các tính năng cần thiết như đăng nhập.&lt;/span&gt;
* Tùy chọn: Những cookie này lưu trữ tùy chọn của bạn, để chúng có thể được ghi nhớ vào lần tiếp theo bạn sử dụng trang.
* Hiệu suất và Phân tích: Những cookie này thu thập thông tin về cách bạn sử dụng trang web của chúng tôi, để chúng tôi có thể hiểu rõ hơn về cách trang web hoạt động và cải thiện nó cho bạn và những người dùng khác.
* Bên thứ ba: Những cookie này cho phép chúng tôi kết xuất các dịch vụ được cung cấp bởi các bên thứ ba, chẳng hạn như các nút giống như các ứng dụng và các lượt chia sẻ. Khi một bên thứ ba cung cấp các loại dịch vụ này, họ có thể yêu cầu sử dụng cookie để cung cấp dịch vụ của họ. (Những điều này sẽ chỉ được sử dụng với sự đồng ý khẳng định của bạn.)

== Một số tùy chọn tôi có để hạn chế sử dụng dữ liệu được lưu trữ cục bộ trên thiết bị của mình là gì? ==

Mặc dù đây không phải là một danh sách toàn diện, đây là một số điều bạn có thể làm để hạn chế sử dụng dữ liệu được lưu trữ cục bộ trên thiết bị của mình. Bạn có thể:

* xóa hoặc vô hiệu hóa dữ liệu được lưu trữ cục bộ trên cài đặt của trình duyệt
* sử dụng trình duyệt có thể chặn cookie của bên thứ ba; hoặc là
* cài đặt một plugin để chặn dữ liệu được lưu trữ cục bộ, nếu có sẵn.

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Làm cách nào để gửi email trong các Trang Wikimedia và làm cách nào để thay đổi thông báo tôi nhận được? ==

Bạn có thể thay đổi những thông báo bạn nhận được bằng một trong hai cách sau:

: (a) Nhấp vào liên kết sau khi có Để kiểm soát email nào chúng tôi gửi cho bạn, hãy kiểm tra tùy chọn của bạn, ở cuối bất kỳ email thông báo nào chúng tôi gửi cho bạn như được thấy dưới đây; hoặc là
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) Đăng nhập vào tài khoản của bạn, sau đó nhấp vào {{int: mypreferences}}, ở phía trên bên phải màn hình của bạn, sau đó nhấp vào {{int: prefs-echo}}.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The “{{int:mypreferences}}” tab]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The “{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]

Bạn cũng có tùy chọn bật tính năng Email Email của người dùng này, cho phép người dùng khác gửi email trực tiếp cho bạn bằng cách nhấp vào {{int: emailuser}} trong menu Hộp công cụ trên trang người dùng của bạn. Nếu bạn bật tính năng này, địa chỉ email của bạn sẽ không được tiết lộ khi người dùng khác liên lạc với bạn (mặc dù đó sẽ là nếu bạn trả lời). Nếu bạn bật tính năng này, bất kỳ người dùng nào khác cũng có thể gửi email cho bạn và chúng tôi không kiểm soát những gì hoặc tần suất họ gửi email cho bạn. Đây là cách bạn có thể kích hoạt tính năng này:

: Đăng nhập vào tài khoản của bạn, nhấp vào trên “{{int:mypreferences}}”, sau đó nhấp vào “{{int:prefs-personal}}”, và đánh dấu vào hộp “{{int:allowemail}}”

[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The “{{int:prefs-personal}}” tab]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Bạn có thể cho tôi một ví dụ về cách bạn sử dụng GPS và các công nghệ vị trí khác để hiển thị cho tôi nội dung phù hợp hơn không? ==

Chắc chắn rồi! Nếu bạn đang sử dụng ứng dụng di động Wikipedia, bạn có thể tìm hiểu xem có bài viết nào về địa điểm và những thứ gần bạn hay không bằng cách sử dụng nút {{int: Mobile-frontend-main-menu-near}}. Thiết bị của bạn sẽ yêu cầu sự cho phép của bạn để xác định và sử dụng vị trí hiện tại của bạn trước khi thực sự sử dụng thông tin vị trí của bạn. Nếu bạn truy cập tính năng này trên máy tính xách tay, máy tính để bàn hoặc thiết bị không có GPS, tính năng này sẽ sử dụng thông tin từ trình duyệt của bạn để tìm ra vị trí của bạn và tìm các bài viết về địa điểm và đồ vật (như tác phẩm điêu khắc công cộng hoặc tòa nhà nổi tiếng) gần bạn.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Ý bạn là gì khi bạn suy luận về vị trí địa lý của tôi? Và tại sao bạn cần phải làm điều đó? ==

Chúng tôi sử dụng một số sản phẩm đã tải xuống, như [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind trong GeoIP City DB], cho phép chúng tôi xác định nội bộ vị trí gần đúng của người dùng. Và khi chúng tôi nói là gần đúng, thì chúng tôi có nghĩa là: GeoIP City DB giải quyết vị trí của bạn ở trung tâm của dữ liệu khu vực chính xác nhất được liên kết với IP của bạn. Các khả năng duy nhất cho dữ liệu khu vực liên quan là mã bưu chính, thành phố, khu vực hoặc quốc gia. Trừ khi bạn có vị trí thường xuyên ở giữa địa lý của khu vực cụ thể nhất được liên kết với địa chỉ IP của bạn, dữ liệu chúng tôi truy xuất không chắc là đủ chính xác để giao hàng hóa.

Chúng tôi làm điều này để bạn có thể được phục vụ với nội dung phù hợp trong khu vực như thông báo địa phương, thông báo sự kiện và các chiến dịch gây quỹ địa phương. Để xem thông tin nào chúng tôi có trong hồ sơ cho địa chỉ IP của bạn, bạn có thể tải [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup công cụ tra cứu GeoIP của chúng tôi] bất cứ lúc nào và kiểm tra kết quả.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Một số ví dụ khi tôi sẽ cho phép bạn chia sẻ thông tin của tôi là gì? ==

Nếu bạn nhận được học bổng để đến [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], chúng tôi có thể xin phép bạn chia sẻ thông tin của bạn với chương địa phương lưu trữ Wikimania năm đó để chúng tôi có thể sắp xếp chuyến đi phù hợp. Hoặc nếu bạn nộp đơn xin trợ cấp, chúng tôi có thể xin phép bạn chia sẻ thông tin của bạn với các thành viên của [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee |Ủy ban phổ biến quỹ]] xem xét đơn xin tài trợ của bạn. Hoặc bạn có thể muốn sử dụng tên người dùng và mật khẩu Wikimedia của mình để đăng nhập và gửi thông tin đến trang web của bên thứ ba, sử dụng các dịch vụ như [//openid.net/ OpenID] hoặc [//oauth.net/ OAuth], trong trường hợp đó thông tin của bạn sẽ chỉ được gửi đến trang web của bên thứ ba với sự cho phép rõ ràng của bạn.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Một số cách mà bạn có thể sử dụng hoặc chia sẻ thông tin người dùng, chẳng hạn như để điều tra, thực thi hoặc bảo vệ các trang web và chính sách của Wikimedia là gì? ==

Điều quan trọng đối với chúng tôi là có thể đảm bảo mọi người chơi theo cùng một quy tắc và đôi khi điều đó có nghĩa là chúng tôi cần điều tra và chia sẻ thông tin người dùng cụ thể để đảm bảo rằng họ đang làm đúng như vậy.

Ví dụ: thông tin người dùng có thể được chia sẻ khi [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] đang điều tra hành vi lạm dụng trên Dự án, chẳng hạn như nghi ngờ sử dụng sockpuppets độc hại (tài khoản trùng lặp), phá hoại, quấy rối người dùng khác hoặc hành vi gây rối. Nếu người dùng bị phát hiện vi phạm [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Điều khoản sử dụng]] hoặc chính sách có liên quan khác, thông tin cá nhân của người dùng có thể được tiết lộ cho nhà cung cấp dịch vụ, nhà cung cấp hoặc thực thể bên thứ ba khác, để hỗ trợ trong việc nhắm mục tiêu các khối IP hoặc để đưa ra khiếu nại cho Nhà cung cấp dịch vụ Internet có liên quan.

Một ví dụ khác, nếu chúng tôi được thông báo rằng người dùng đã đe dọa đánh bom, chúng tôi có thể phải báo cáo một số thông tin liên quan đến mối đe dọa đó cho chính quyền địa phương để cứu người.

Chúng tôi cũng có thể sử dụng Thông tin cá nhân cho các mục đích từ thiện hợp pháp khác được mô tả trong Chính sách bảo mật của chúng tôi.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Bạn có thể cho tôi một số ví dụ về thời điểm bạn sẽ chia sẻ thông tin của tôi với các nhà cung cấp bên thứ ba không? ==

Tất nhiên! Ví dụ: Trang web Wikimedia dựa vào nhà cung cấp dịch vụ lưu trữ, nhà cung cấp mạng cáp quang, trung tâm dữ liệu và nhà cung cấp dịch vụ và nhà thầu khác. Chúng tôi có hợp đồng với các nhà cung cấp dịch vụ này và họ chỉ có quyền truy cập vào dữ liệu của bạn để thực hiện các dịch vụ cho chúng tôi phù hợp với chính sách này. Những lần khác, chúng tôi có thể sử dụng các nhà cung cấp bên thứ ba để giúp chúng tôi quản lý thông tin chúng tôi lưu trữ hoặc sử dụng. Ví dụ: chúng tôi có thể sử dụng các hệ thống quản lý tài trợ của bên thứ ba để giữ thông tin người nộp đơn và làm cho quy trình đăng ký của chúng tôi đơn giản và hiệu quả hơn hoặc chúng tôi có thể sử dụng các nhà cung cấp bên thứ ba cho các dịch vụ email cho nhân viên.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Thông tin nào được tiết lộ khi tôi nhấp vào liên kết trên trang web Wikimedia đưa tôi đến trang web bên thứ ba bên ngoài? ==

Khi bạn nhấp vào một liên kết trên trang Wikimedia đưa bạn đến một trang web bên ngoài, thông tin người giới thiệu chỉ truyền nguồn gốc tên miền của bạn, chứ không phải trang Wikimedia cụ thể đã truy cập, đến đích của bên thứ ba đó. Ví dụ: nếu bạn đang đọc một bài viết trên Wikipedia và nhấp vào một trích dẫn hướng bạn đến một bài viết trên một trang web bên ngoài, thông tin giới thiệu chỉ chứa tên miền Wikipedia, không phải URL bài viết cụ thể. Loại chính sách giới thiệu này được gọi là [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin “origin-when-cross-origin”].

Chúng tôi giới hạn thông tin người giới thiệu theo cách này để bảo vệ quyền riêng tư của người dùng và tránh tiết lộ thông tin nhạy cảm về các trang được người dùng xem, đồng thời cho phép các chi nhánh và đối tác của phong trào thu thập thông tin tổng hợp về lưu lượng truy cập nhận được từ các trang web do Wikimedia vận hành. Đối với những người muốn biết nhiều hơn và có thể quan tâm đến việc kiểm soát nhiều hơn thông tin người giới thiệu, nhóm Wikimedia Foundation Security đã chuẩn bị [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|trang trên Meta]] với một số chi tiết và công cụ được đề xuất.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Nguy cơ của việc xác định danh tính lại là gì? ==

Trong [[$netflixprizelink|một vài trường hợp]] (không liên quan đến các Trang web Wikimedia theo như chúng tôi biết!), Các nhà nghiên cứu độc lập đã có thể liên kết thông tin phi cá nhân và tổng hợp từ các nguồn khác nhau với những người dùng cụ thể. Mặc dù chúng tôi cố gắng tránh điều này bằng cách tìm cách ẩn danh thông tin trước khi chia sẻ nó cho mục đích nghiên cứu, chúng tôi muốn làm cho bạn biết về rủi ro này.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Wikimedia Foundation có sử dụng HTTPS trên các trang của mình không? ==

Vâng! Chúng tôi đã triển khai các thông tin liên lạc chỉ HTTPS trên tất cả các Trang web Wikimedia kể từ [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. Chúng tôi cũng đã thực hiện một số biện pháp liên quan để bảo mật hơn lưu lượng truy cập của mình ngoài các tiêu chuẩn tối thiểu của ngành, bao gồm: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Trình duyệt tải trước HSTS], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], và [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] chứng chỉ máy chủ. Chúng tôi nhúng dấu thời gian chứng chỉ đã ký cho [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Độ minh bạch của chứng chỉ]] và cho phép các tùy chọn mật mã tốt nhất trong lớp, bao gồm [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] và [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. Chúng tôi cũng [[phab:T147199|không dùng mật mã lỗi thời]] trước khi chúng trở thành trường hợp khẩn cấp tiếp theo. Để biết thông tin mới nhất về những nỗ lực của chúng tôi, hãy xem [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|trang trạng thái HTTPS]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Một số ví dụ về thời gian bạn giữ dữ liệu của tôi là gì? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Nó phụ thuộc vào loại dữ liệu và cách nó được thu thập. Ví dụ: thông tin có thể được truy cập bởi [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|công cụ CheckUser]] sẽ bị xóa sau ba tháng. Các thông tin khác, chẳng hạn như các địa chỉ IP liên quan đến đóng góp của người dùng chưa đăng ký có thể nhìn thấy trong một bài viết Lịch sử sửa đổi không giới hạn. Bạn có thể tìm hiểu thêm về thời gian chúng tôi lưu giữ các loại dữ liệu khác nhau trong [[$dataretentionguiances|hướng dẫn lưu giữ dữ liệu]].

== Có một cơ quan cộng đồng chịu trách nhiệm điều tra các vi phạm quyền riêng tư bị cáo buộc? ==

Một nhóm người dùng có kinh nghiệm được gọi là [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ủy ban thanh tra]] có quyền hạn và thẩm quyền để điều tra các vi phạm và cáo buộc vi phạm Chính sách quyền riêng tư này và đưa ra khuyến nghị cho chúng tôi về cách xử lý vi phạm hoặc cáo buộc vi phạm.

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== Có thông tin lỗi thời hoặc không chính xác về tôi trên một bài viết trên Wikipedia! Làm cách nào để cập nhật thông tin của tôi? ==

Các dự án Wikimedia được hợp tác viết và thúc đẩy bởi sự đồng thuận. Điều này có nghĩa là thông tin trong các bài viết trên Wikipedia được viết, cập nhật và kiểm soát bởi một cộng đồng người dùng toàn cầu như bạn. Nếu bạn là chủ đề của một bài viết Wikipedia hoặc được đề cập trong trang thảo luận và tin rằng nó chứa thông tin không chính xác hoặc lỗi thời về bạn, bạn phải thông qua các chính sách và quy trình nội dung của cộng đồng người dùng để giải quyết chúng. Bạn có thể nhận trợ giúp bằng cách gửi cho {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}. Wikimedia Foundation ''không'' tham gia vào các tranh chấp nội dung và tin rằng làm việc với cộng đồng là cách tốt nhất để giải quyết các tranh chấp tiềm ẩn.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Các tín hiệu Không Theo dõi (&quot;DNT&quot;) là gì và Wikimedia Foundation phản ứng với chúng như thế nào? ==

“Do Not Track” - “DNT” là một cách để trình duyệt web của bạn nói với trang web bạn đang truy cập mà bạn không muốn bị theo dõi bởi các bên thứ ba có trang web mà bạn không truy cập, như dịch vụ phân tích, mạng quảng cáo và nền tảng xã hội. Khi sử dụng cơ chế này, tín hiệu được gửi bởi trình duyệt của bạn, thể hiện mong muốn rằng Thông tin cá nhân của bạn, đặc biệt là về các hoạt động trực tuyến và tương tác mạng của bạn, không nên được chuyển cho bên thứ ba. Khi nhận được tín hiệu DNT được gửi bởi trình duyệt của bạn, người hoặc tổ chức sở hữu trang web có tùy chọn để tôn trọng hoặc bỏ qua yêu cầu được đề cập ở trên.

Wikimedia Foundation cam kết không chia sẻ thông tin chúng tôi thu thập từ bạn (bao gồm các hoạt động trực tuyến và tương tác mạng của bạn với Wikimedia Site) với bất kỳ bên thứ ba nào, ngoại trừ trong các tình huống cụ thể được nêu chi tiết trong Phần [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Khi chúng tôi chia sẻ Thông tin của bạn]] của Chính sách bảo mật của chúng tôi.

Vì cam kết này, chúng tôi bảo vệ tất cả mọi người và không thay đổi hành vi của chúng tôi để đáp ứng với tín hiệu DNT của trình duyệt web.

Bạn có thể tìm thêm thông tin về công nghệ “Do Not Track” và đề xuất chính sách tại [//donottrack.us/ Đừng theo dõi chúng tôi] và [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium Cons Doium Track]

== Tôi nghĩ rằng tôi không bao giờ cần một tài khoản để đọc hoặc đóng góp! Trong những trường hợp nào tôi sẽ cần phải đăng ký để đọc hoặc đóng góp? ==

Bạn không bao giờ cần một tài khoản để đọc một trang web Wikimedia công cộng. Và trong hầu hết các trường hợp, bạn không cần một tài khoản để đóng góp cho Trang web Wikimedia. Tuy nhiên, có một vài trường hợp hiếm hoi mà bạn sẽ cần phải đăng ký tài khoản nếu bạn muốn đóng góp. Cộng đồng biên tập viên hoặc cộng tác viên địa phương (ví dụ: cộng đồng Wikipedia tiếng Anh hoặc cộng đồng Wiktionary tiếng Malay) hoặc chính Wikimedia Foundation có thể quyết định đặt các hạn chế tạm thời hoặc vĩnh viễn đối với những gì bạn có thể thay đổi. Ví dụ: một trang cụ thể có thể tạm thời bị hạn chế chỉnh sửa để chỉ cho phép người dùng có kinh nghiệm hoặc quản trị vì phá hoại hoặc lo ngại bản quyền. Bạn cũng không được tải lên nội dung như hình ảnh hoặc video mà không đăng nhập vì chúng tôi cần xác minh rằng đã có quyền phù hợp từ chủ bản quyền (nếu phương tiện chưa có trong miền công cộng) để đăng nội dung.

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Tôi có thể xóa và / hoặc ẩn danh bất kỳ nội dung nào tôi đăng trên bất kỳ Trang web Wikimedia nào không, nếu tôi không muốn nhận dạng cá nhân? Nếu vậy thì thế nào? ==

Các trang web Wikimedia sử dụng lịch sử sửa đổi có sẵn công khai để xây dựng sự đồng thuận, thúc đẩy tính minh bạch giữa những người đóng góp và biên tập viên, và khẳng định tính xác thực của nội dung các trang web của chúng tôi. Do đó, một khi bạn đăng thông tin lên Trang web Wikimedia, nó sẽ được công khai và bạn có thể sẽ không thể xóa thông tin đó. Ngay cả khi bạn tự xóa một số nội dung nhất định (nói từ một bài viết trên Wikipedia), nó vẫn sẽ được công khai trong phần xem lịch sử của chế độ xem của bài viết. Trong một số trường hợp nhất định, bạn có thể yêu cầu xóa trang hoặc tệp hoặc một phần lịch sử của trang hoặc tệp khỏi tầm nhìn công khai (ví dụ: nếu bạn vô tình đăng Thông tin cá nhân có rủi ro cao như số thẻ tín dụng của bạn). Xin lưu ý rằng các quyết định xóa (nghĩa là xóa toàn bộ bài viết) không phải lúc nào cũng được thực hiện tập trung và đôi khi chúng được đưa ra sau một cuộc thảo luận công khai giữa cộng đồng Wikipedia (xem Wikipedia Wikipedia [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|xóa chính sách]] để tham khảo thêm). Quy trình này không đảm bảo loại bỏ hoàn toàn hoặc toàn diện nội dung hoặc thông tin được đăng trên các trang web Wikimedia.

Bạn cũng có thể yêu cầu triệt tiêu (oversight), để ẩn các sửa đổi, tên người dùng trong lịch sử chỉnh sửa và nhật ký hoặc một phần của các mục nhật ký riêng lẻ. Ức chế là một quy trình trên wiki áp dụng cho các mục đích sử dụng cụ thể. Vui lòng tham khảo [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|trang Meta-Wiki về việc này]] để biết thêm thông tin và hướng dẫn.

Nếu bạn là người dùng đã đăng ký, chúng tôi khuyến khích bạn không sử dụng tên thật của mình làm tên người dùng nếu bạn không muốn người khác có kết nối giữa những gì bạn đăng trên Trang web Wikimedia và tên thật của bạn. Bạn có thể tìm hiểu thêm về cách chọn tên người dùng của mình bằng tiếng Anh Wikipedia Wikipedia [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|chính sách tên người dùng]]. Xin lưu ý rằng Chính sách tên người dùng này chỉ áp dụng cho Wikipedia tiếng Anh và các Wikipedias khác nhau có các chính sách khác nhau. Chúng tôi khuyên bạn nên kiểm tra chính sách tên người dùng cho dự án bạn dự định sử dụng để đảm bảo bạn tuân thủ thông lệ địa phương.

Nếu bạn đã bao gồm thông tin nhận dạng cá nhân (như tên thật của bạn) trong tên người dùng của bạn và không muốn nhận dạng cá nhân với đóng góp của bạn, chúng tôi khuyến khích bạn yêu cầu ẩn danh thông tin (thay vì tiến hành quá trình xóa và loại bỏ được mô tả ở trên) bằng cách yêu cầu thay đổi tên người dùng của bạn. Để biết thông tin về cách thay đổi tên người dùng của bạn, hãy xem [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|trang Meta-Wiki về Thay đổi tên người dùng]].

Quá trình ẩn danh không thể đảm bảo ẩn danh hoàn toàn hoặc toàn diện cho tất cả nội dung hoặc thông tin được đăng trên Trang web Wikimedia liên quan đến tên người dùng trước của bạn. Nếu yêu cầu của bạn được cấp, thay đổi tên sẽ chỉ xảy ra trong nhật ký được tạo tự động (như lịch sử trang) liên quan đến nội dung mà bạn đã đăng. Thay đổi tên sẽ không xóa đề cập đến tên người dùng trước của bạn bởi các bên thứ ba. Ví dụ: nếu bạn thay đổi tên người dùng của mình từ MichaelPaul thành Owlwatcher345, nội dung bạn đóng góp sẽ được quy cho Owlwatcher345, nhưng nếu một người dùng khác đã đề cập đến bạn bằng tên MichaelPaul trong trang thảo luận, MichaelPaul sẽ tiếp tục xuất hiện thay vì Owlwatcher345.

Vui lòng tham khảo [[$privatepol|Chính sách bảo mật]] để biết thêm thông tin về các lựa chọn của bạn liên quan đến việc chúng tôi sử dụng Thông tin cá nhân của bạn và cách bạn có thể thực hiện các lựa chọn này.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Mis on &quot;tavakonto&quot; ja &quot;mitte-tavakonto&quot; erinevus?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Kas on võimalik tuua näiteid kasutatavatest küpsistest ja kuidas te rakendate kohtmälu? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|Kaart &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|Kaart &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Kas saate tuua näite, kuidas te kasutate GPS-i ja muid asukohatehnoloogiaid mulle asjakohasema sisu näitamiseks? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Millised on näited olukorrast, kus ma annan teile loa minu teavet jagada? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

Veel üks näide on, kui meile teatatakse, et kasutaja on teinud pommiähvarduse. Me peame võib-olla edastama selle ähvardusega seotud infot kohalikele võimudele, et elud ei satuks ohtu.

Me võime kasutada isikuandmeid ka teiste seaduspäraste heategevuslike eesmärkide jaoks, mis on andmekaitsepõhimõtetes kirjeldatud.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Kas saab tuua näiteid olukorrast, kui jagate minu infot kolmandate osapooltega? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Milline teave saab avalikuks, kui klõpsan Wikimedia saidil lingile, mis viib mind välisele kolmanda osapoole saidile? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Kas Wikipedia Sihtasutus kasutab oma saitidel HTTPS-protokolli? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Mis on näited sellest, kui kaua te minu andmeid säilitate? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.

&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

== Ma arvasin, et mul ei ole lugemise või kaastöö tegemise jaoks kasutajakontot vaja. Mis olukorras peaks registreerima, et lugeda või panustada? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.

== Bu Gizlilik Politikası'nın farkı nedir? Eski sürümleri görebilir miyim? ==

Pek çok kurum gibi biz de yıllar içinde büyüdük ve değiştik; bu Gizlilik Politikasını  sadece günümüzdeki uygulamaları değil, gelecekte gitmeyi arzu ettiğimiz yeri daha iyi yansıtmasını umarak kaleme aldık. Hedefimiz bu Gizlilik Politikasını kolay okunur ve  bilgi toplama ve kullanma şeklimiz konusunda şeffaf kılmak ve Wikimedia Sitelerinin sizin için daha iyi anlaşılır ve geliştirilebilir olmasını sağlamak idi.

Eğer geçmiş Gizlilik Politikalarından birini okumakla ilgileniyorsanız;  Gizlilik Politikalarının eski versiyonlarını incelemeniz için arşivlerde erişilir olarak saklıyoruz.  Gizlilik Politikamızı bir wikide tuttuğumuzdan revizyonları karşılaştırmak için [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} sayfanın geçmişini] kullanabilirsiniz! Büyük revizyonları olanlar şuralardadır: [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] ve [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;&quot;Standart hesap&quot; ve &quot;standart olmayan hesap&quot; nedir?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Standart bir hesap, Vikipedi veya Wikimedia Commons gibi belli başlı Wikimedia projelerinde gezinmek ve düzenleme yapmak için oturum açabileceğiniz hesaptır. WMF'de bir standart hesap oluşturmak için genellikle bir kullanıcı adı ve şifre vermekten öte bir şey yapmanız gerekmez; ancak eğer bir üçüncü taraf tarafından işletilen bir sistemi kullanarak standart bir hesap oluşturursanız e-posta adresi gibi ek bilgi vermeniz istenebilir. Standart olmayan bir hesap ise Vikipedi gibi ana projelerimizden birini okumak veya yazmanın dışında bir Wikimedia hareketine daha kapsamlı katılmak için oturum açabileceğiniz bir hesap türüdür.
&lt;br /&gt;
Örneğin [$bugzillalink Bugzilla], [$gerritlink Gerrit] veya [[$otrslink|OTRS]]'de bir hesap için kaydolursanız veya  Global Eğitim gibi bir özel girişimde çalışırsanız bir hesap oluşturmanız gerekebilir ve o hesapları kaydetmek ve katılmak kullanıcı adı ve şifreden farklı, e-posta adresi gibi bir  ek bilgi gerektirebilir.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Bana kullandığınız çerez türlerinden birkaç örnek verebilir misiniz? ==

Elbette! Wikimedia Siteleri tarafından kullanılan tanımlama bilgileri (ve ilgili yerel depolama depolama teknolojileri) genellikle aşağıdaki kategorilere girer:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;İşlevsellik: Bu tanımlama bilgileri, oturum açma gibi temel özellikler de dahil olmak üzere Wikimedia Sitelerinin çalışmasına yardımcı olur.&lt;/span&gt;
* Tercihler: Bu çerezler tercihlerinizi kaydeder ve böylece siteye bir sonraki ziyaretinizde hatırlanırlar.
* Performans ve Analizler: Bu çerezler websiteyi nasıl kullandığınız hakkında bilgi toplar ve böylece websitenin nasıl çalıştığını daha iyi anlayabilir ve siz ve diğer kullanıcılar için onu geliştirebiliriz.
* Üçüncü Taraf: Bu çerezler üçüncü taraflarca sağlanan &quot;beğen&quot; veya &quot;paylaş&quot; butonları gibi hizmetlerin verilmesini mümkün kılar. Bu tür hizmetler sağlayan üçüncü taraflar hizmetin verilmesi için bir çerezin kullanılmasını gerektirebilir. (Bunlar sizin onayınız ile kullanılabilir)

* tarayıcınızın ayarlarında yerel olarak depolanmış belirli verileri kaldırın veya devre dışı bırakın;
* üçüncü-şahıs çerezleri engelleyebilecek bir tarayıcı kullanın; ya da
* eğer varsa, yerel olarak kaydedilmiş veriyi engellemek için bir eklenti yükleyin.

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Wikimedia Siteleri içinde nasıl elektronik-posta ile haberleşirim ve hangi bildirimleri aldığımı nasıl değiştiririm? ==

Aldığınız bildirimleri şu yollarla değiştirebilirsiniz:

: (a) Size gönderdiğimiz herhangi bir bildirim e-postasının en altında yer alan &quot;Size hangi e-postaları gönderdiğimizi kontrol etmek için tercihlerinizi kontrol edin&quot; yazısının ardından aşağıda görüldüğü gibi bağlantıya tıklayarak; veya
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: (b) Hesabınızda oturum açın, ardından ekranınızın sağ üst köşesindeki &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; seçeneği ve ardından &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; seçeneğini tıklayın.
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

Ayrıca kullanıcı sayfanızdaki Toolbox menüsünde &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; seçeneğine tıklayarak diğer kullanıcıların doğrudan size e-posta göndermelerini izin vereceğiniz &quot;Bu kullanıcıya e-posta gönder&quot; özelliğini etkinleştirme seçeneğiniz de var. Eğer bu özelliği etkinleştirirseniz, başkaları sizinle irtibata geçtiğinde e-posta adresiniz açıklanmaz (fakat yanıt verirseniz adresiniz ortaya çıkacaktır). eğer bu özelliği etkinleştirirseniz herhangi bir kullanıcı size e-posta gönderebilir ve size ne sıklıkla ve ne göndereceği hakkında bir kontrolümüz yoktur. Bu özelliği şu şekilde etkinleştirirsiniz:

: Hesabınızda oturum açın, &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; seçeneğine tıklayın, ardından &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; seçeneğine tıklayın ve &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; kutusunu işaretleyin.

[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|&quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; sekmesi]]

== Bana daha uygun içerik gönderimi için GPS'i ve diğer yer teknolojilerini nasıl kullandığınıza dair bir örnek verir misiniz? ==

Elbette ki! Eğer Vikipedi mobil uygulamasını kullanıyorsanız,  yakınınızdaki mekanlar ve görülecek şeyler hakkında maddeler olup olmadığını  &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot;  butonunu kullanarak bulabilirsiniz. Eğer bu özelliğe dizüstü bilgisayar, masaüstü bilgisayar veya GPS'i olmayan bir cihazla erişmekteyseniz bu özellik yerinizi tespit etme ve yakınınızdaki mekanlar ve görülecek şeyler (anıtlar ve ünlü binalar gibi) hakkında madde bulmada tarayıcınızdan aldığı bilgiyi kullanacaktır.

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &quot;Coğrafi yerimi anla&quot; ile ne demek istiyorsunuz? Ve bunu yapmaya neden gereksinim duyuyorsunuz? ==

Kullanıcılarımızın yaklaşık yerini belirlemede [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind’in GeoIP Şehir Veritabanı] gibi bazı indirilmiş ürünler kullanıyoruz. Ve &quot;yaklaşık&quot; derken ciddiyiz: GeoIP Şehir Veritabanı yerinizi, IP'niz ile ilişkilendirilmiş en kesin bölge verisinin merkezi olarak belirler. İlişkilendirilmiş bölge verisi olsa olsa posta kodu, şehir, bölge veya ülkedir. IP adresiniz ile ilişkilendirilmiş belirli alanın coğrafi olarak tam göbeğinde değilseniz aldığımız verinin size bir sandviç siparişi gönderilebilmesine olanak verecek kadar iyi olması pek mümkün değildir.

Bunu, uygun bölgesel içerikle hizmet alabilmeniz için yapıyoruz, örneğin yerel bildiriler, etkinlik duyuruları ve yerel bağış kampanyaları gibi. Bizde kayıtlı IP adresinizin ne olduğunu görmek için [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP sorgu aracını] istediğiniz zaman yükleyebilir ve sonucu görebilirsiniz.

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Size bilgimi paylaşma izni vermiş olacağım durumlara bir kaç örnek verir misiniz? ==

Eğer Wikimania'ya gitmek için bir burs alırsanız, bilginizi Wikimania'ya ev sahipliği yapan yerel organizasyon ile paylaşmak için izin isteriz ki uygun seyahat düzenlemelerini yapabilelim. Ya da eğer bir ödüle başvurursanız bilginizi başvurunuzu inceleyen [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Fon Dağıtım Komitesi]] ile paylaşmak üzere izninizi sorabiliriz. Veya Wikimedia kullanıcı adı ve şifrenizi oturum açmak ve [//openid.net/ OpenID] veya [//oauth.net/ OAuth] gibi hizmetleri kullanmak için üçüncü taraf bir siteye bilgi göndermek üzere kullanmak isteyebilirsiniz; bu durumda bilginiz sadece açık izninizle üçüncü taraf siteye gönderilecektir.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Bilgimi soruşturmak, yaptırım uygulamak  ya da Wikimedia Siteleri ve politikalarını  savunmak üzere paylaşabileceğiniz bazı yollar nelerdir? ==

Herkesin aynı kurallara uyduğunu görmek bizim için önemli ve bu bazen emin olmak için belli kullanıcıları araştırmamız ve bilgilerini paylaşmamız gerektiği anlamına geliyor.

Örenğin, kullanıcı bilgisi bir [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] bir Projedeki kötüye kullanımı soruştururken örneğin zararlı “sockpuppets” (çift hesap) kullanımından şüphelendiğinde, vandalizm, diğer kullanıcılara taciz veya diğer zarar verici davranış durumunda paylaşılabilir. Eğer bir kullanıcının [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Kullanıcı Politikamızı]] veya diğer uygun politikaları çiğnediği belirlenirse, kullanıcın kişisel bilgisi hizmet sağlayıcıya, aracı firma vey abir diğer üçüncü taraf kuruluşa örneğin IP engellerini hedeflemeye yardım için veya ilgili İnternet Servis Sağlayıcısına  şikayette bulunmak için açıklanabilir.

Başka bir örnek olarak da şu verilebilir; eğer bir kullanıcın bir bomba tehdidi oluşturduğu konusunda bilgi aldıysak o tehditle ilgili olarak yerel yetkililere hayat kurtarmak üzere bazı bilgileri bildirebiliriz.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Bilgimi üçüncü taraf tedarikçilerle ne durumlarda paylaştığınıza dair örnekler verebilir misiniz? ==

Elbette! Örneğin Wikimedia Siteleri hosting firmaları, fiber-optik ağ sağlayıcılar, veri merkezleri ve diğer hizmet sağlayıcı ve üstlenicilere dayalıdır. Bu  hizmet sağlayıcılar ile bir sözleşmemiz vardır ve onlar verinize sadece bu politikaya uygun olarak bizim için  hizmet vermek üzere erişir. Diğer zamanlarda üçüncü taraf hizmet sağlayıcıları sakladığınız veya kullandığımız bilgiyi yönetmede yardım için kullanabiliriz. Örneğin başvuru sürecimizi daha basit ve etkili yapmak için ödül başvuru bilgisini tutmada üçüncü taraf ödül yönetim sitemlerini kullanabiliriz veya çalışanların e-posta hizmetleri için  üçüncü taraf hizmet sağlayıcı kullanabiliriz.

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Re-identification (anonim verinin kişisel veri haline dönüştürülmesi) riski nedir? ==

Bağımszı araştırmacılar [[$netflixprizelink|bir kaç olayda]] (bildiğimiz kadarıyla hiçbiri Wikimedia Siteleri ile bağlantılı değil!) farklı kaynaklardan kişisel olmayan ve yığın veriyi belli kullanıcılarla ilişkilendirebildi. Biz, araştırma amaçlı olarak paylaşmadan önce  bilginin anonimleştirilmesini isteyerek böyle bir durumdan sakınmakla beraber sizi bu riskten haberdar etmek istiyoruz.

Evet! Oturum açmalar her zaman https'dir ve sayfaları ziyaret ederken  gerek URL'yi düzenleyerek gerekse [$httpseverywhere HTTPS Everywhere] gibi bir araç kullanarak https kullanma seçeneğiniz hep vardır. Ayrıca https'yi daha da çok etkinleştirmek için  çalışmaktayız. Daha fazla bilgi için [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS durum sayfasını]] ziyaret ediniz.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.

== Bir Vikipedi maddesinde benim hakkımda geçersiz veya yanlış bilgi var! Bilgimi nasıl güncellerim? ==

Wikimedia projeleri işbirliği ile yazılır ve uzlaşmaya dayanır. Bu da demektir ki Vikipedi maddeleri tıpkı sizin gibi bir kullanıcı global topluluğu tarafından yazılır, güncellenir ve denetlenir. Eğer bir Vikipedi maddesine konu olduysanız veya bir tartışma sayfasında sizden bahsedildiyse ve hakkınızda hatalı  veya geçersiz bilgi içermekteyse doğrudan topluluğun içerik politika ve prosedürlerine göre davranmalısınız. Bu konuda  yardım almak için {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} adresine e-posta gönderebilirsiniz. Wikimedia Vakfı içerik anlaşmazlıklarına karış&quot;maz&quot; ve topluluk ile çalışmanın olası anlaşmazlıkların çözümü için en iyi yol olduğuna inanır.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot; - İzlenmek İstemiyorum) sinyalleri nedir ve Wikimedia Vakfı bu soruna nasıl yaklaşıyor? ==

&quot;Do Not Track&quot; (İzlenmek İstemiyorum) ya da &quot;DNT&quot; web tarayıcınızın,  websitelerini ziyaret etmediğiniz analytics hizmetleri, reklam ağları ve sosyal platformlar gibi üçüncü taraflarca izlenmesini istemediğinizi ziyaret ettiğiniz web sitesine söylemesinin bir yoludur. Bu mekanizmayı kullanırken kişisel bilginizin, özellikle çevrimiçi etkinlikleriniz ve ağ hareketleriniz hakkındaki bilgini üçüncü taraflara aktarılmaması gerektiğine dair bir işaret tarayıcınız tarafından gönderilir. Tarayıcınızın gönderdiği bir DNT sinyali alındığına websitesinin sahibi kişi ya da kuruluş bunu dikkate alma veya göz ardı etmek imkanına sahiptir.

Wikimedia Vakfı, Gizlilik Politikasının &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Bilginizi Ne Zaman Paylaşabiliriz]]&quot; kısmında detayları verilen belirli durumlar haricinde sizden topladığımız bilgiyi (çevrimiçi etkinlikleriniz ve Wikimedia Siteler ağındaki hareketleriniz de dahil) hiçbir üçüncü tarafla  paylaşmamayı taahhüt ediyor.

Bu taahhütten ötürü herkesi koruyoruz ve davranışımızı bir web tarayıcısının DNT işaretine göre değiştirmiyoruz. İnanıyoruz ki, bu yazının yazıldığı tarih itibariyle, bu yaklaşım World Wide Web Konsorsiyumu'nun Do Not Track şartnamesinde ifade edildiği şekilde &quot;birinci taraflar&quot; için konan yükümlülüklerden daha koruyucudur. Yine de şartname incelenmeye ve çoğu zaman önemli bir şekilde değiştirilmeye devam ediyor. Tamamlanıncaya kadar şartnameyi izlemeye devam edeceğiz ve kendi davranışlarımızı ve bu SSS'yi Gizlilik Politikası'nda konan ilkelerle uyumlu olarak güncelleyeceğiz.

&quot;Do Not Track&quot; teknolojisi hakkında daha fazla bilgiyi ve politika teklifini [//donottrack.us/ Bizi İzlemeyin] sayfasında ve [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Konsorsiyumu'nun &quot;Do Not Track&quot; Şartnamesi] sayfasında bulabilirsiniz.

== Okumak veya yazı eklemek için hesaba hiçbir zaman gereksinimim olmayacağını sanıyordum! Hangi koşullarda okumak veya katkıda bulunmak için kayıt olmam gerekiyor? ==

Bir kamu Wikimedia Sitesini okumak için hiçbir zaman bir hesap açmaya ihtiyacınız olmaz. Çoğu zaman, bir Wikimedia Sitesine yazmak için de hesaba ihtiyacınız yoktur. Yine de yazı eklemek istediğinizde bir hesaba kaydolmanız gereken bir kaç durum vardır. Bir yerel editor veya yazar topluluğu (örneğin İngilizce Vikipedi topluğu veya Malayca Wikisözlük topluluğu) veya Wikimedia Vakfı'nın kendisi  yapabileceğiniz düzenlemeler üzerinde geçici veya daimi kısıtlamalar getirebilir. Örneğin, belli bir sayfanın düzenlemesi vandalizm veya telif meselelerinden ötürü geçici olarak kısıtlanabilir ve sadece deneyimli yada idari kullanıcıların düzenlemesine izin verilebilir. Keza görseller veya video gibi içerikleri oturum açmadan yükleyemeyebilirsiniz çünkü içeriği eklemek için telif sahibinden (eğer medya kamuya açık değilse) uygun izinlerin alındığını doğrulamamız gerekir.

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== ¿Cuáles son las diferencias introducidas en esta Política de privacidad? ¿Puedo consultar versiones más antiguas? ==

Al igual que muchas organizaciones, hemos crecido y cambiado a lo largo de los años, y redactamos esta Política de privacidad con la esperanza de que reflejará mejor no solo nuestras prácticas actuales, sino también a dónde esperamos llegar en el futuro. Nuestros objetivos eran hacer que esta Política de privacidad sea fácil de leer y transparente sobre la forma en que recopilamos la información y la usamos para comprender mejor y mejorar los sitios de Wikimedia por usted.

Si le interesa leer alguna de nuestras políticas de privacidad anteriores, tenemos versiones anteriores de nuestras políticas de privacidad accesibles y en archivos para su revisión. Desde que mantenemos nuestra Política de privacidad en un wiki, puede usar el [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} historial de la página] para comparar revisiones. Las que tienen mayores revisiones son de [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] y [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== ¿Qué es una &quot;cuenta estándar&quot; frente a una &quot;cuenta temporal&quot; o una &quot;cuenta no estándar&quot;? ==

Una cuenta estándar es aquella en la que puede registrarse para navegar o editar los principales proyectos Wikimedia como Wikipedia o Wikimedia Commons. Normalmente no es necesario proporcionar más que un nombre de usuario y una contraseña para crear una cuenta estándar con la Fundación Wikimedia; sin embargo, si creas una cuenta estándar utilizando un sistema gestionado por terceros, es posible que se te solicite información adicional, como una dirección de correo electrónico. Una cuenta no estándar es aquella en la que puedes registrarte para participar en el movimiento Wikimedia de una manera más profunda, aparte de leer o contribuir a uno de nuestros proyectos principales como Wikipedia.

Una [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|cuenta temporal]] es aquella que es creada automáticamente cuando usted realiza ciertas acciones como editar en los Sitios Wikimedia y no ha iniciado sesión en una cuenta estándar. Las ediciones subsecuentes en el mismo dispositivo y el mismo navegador le serán atribuidas a la misma cuenta temporal hasta que la cuenta expire. No se puede iniciar sesión a la cuenta temporal desde otro dispositivo o navegador ya que estas cuentas no poseen contraseñas. Una cuenta temporal dura hasta un máximo de 90 días, a menos de que salga de la sesión del navegador antes de dicho plazo. En este momento la cuenta temporal será desactivada automáticamente. Con ediciones subsecuentes se creará una nueva cuenta temporal.

Por ejemplo, si te registras para obtener una cuenta en sitios ajenos a la wiki como [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], o [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] o trabajas en una iniciativa especial como Educación Global, puede que se te pida que te registres para obtener una cuenta para participar y el registro para esas cuentas puede requerir información adicional aparte de un nombre de usuario y una contraseña, como una dirección de correo electrónico.

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== ¿Pueden facilitarme algunos ejemplos de tipos de cookies y cómo utilizan el almacenamiento local? ==

¡Claro! Las cookies (y las tecnologías de almacenamiento local relacionadas) utilizadas por los Sitios de Wikimedia generalmente se clasifican en las siguientes categorías:

* Funcionalidad: estas cookies ayudan a los sitios de Wikimedia a funcionar, incluyendo las funciones esenciales, como el inicio de sesión y mantener una cuenta temporal.
* Preferencias: estas cookies almacenan sus preferencias, de manera que puedan ser recordadas la próxima vez que usted visite el sitio.
* Rendimiento y análisis: estas cookies recopilan información acerca de la forma en que se utiliza nuestro sitio web, lo que nos permite comprender mejor cómo funciona la página y mejorarla tanto para usted como para otros usuarios.
* De terceros: estas cookies nos permiten ofrecer servicios prestados por terceros, como los botones &quot;Me gusta&quot; y &quot;Compartir&quot;. Cuando un tercero proporciona este tipo de servicios, puede requerir el uso de una cookie para proporcionar sus servicios. (Estas solo se utilizarán con su consentimiento afirmativo).

Para obtener más información, visite nuestra  [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Declaración de cookies]].

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== ¿Qué opciones tengo para limitar el uso de los datos almacenados localmente en mi dispositivo? ==

Aunque esto no es una lista completa, aquí están algunas de las cosas que puede hacer para limitar el uso de los datos almacenados localmente en su dispositivo. Usted puede:

* eliminar o deshabilitar datos específicos almacenados localmente en la configuración de su navegador;
* utilizar un navegador que pueda bloquear las cookies de terceros; o
* instalar un programa adicional para bloquear datos almacenados localmente, si hay alguno disponible.

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== ¿Cómo envío correos electrónicos desde los sitios de Wikimedia y cómo cambio qué notificaciones recibo? ==

Puede cambiar qué notificaciones recibe de las siguientes maneras:

: (a) Haciendo clic en el enlace después de &quot;Para controlar qué correos electrónicos le enviamos, verifique sus preferencias&quot; en la parte inferior de cualquier correo electrónico de notificación que le enviemos como se ve a continuación; o
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thump|center|500px]]
: (b) Accediendo a su cuenta, haga clic en &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; en la parte superior derecha de la pantalla, y a continuación haga clic en &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1_ESWP_Preferences.png|thumb|center|500px|La pestaña &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2_ENWP_Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|La pestaña &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

También tiene la opción de habilitar la función &quot;Enviar correo electrónico a este usuario&quot;, que permite a otros usuarios enviarle un correo electrónico directamente haciendo clic en &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; en el menú Herramientas en su página de usuario. Si habilita esta función, su dirección de correo electrónico no se revela cuando otros usuarios se ponen en contacto con usted (aunque lo hará si responde). Si habilita esta función, cualquier otro usuario puede enviarle un correo electrónico y no controlamos qué o con qué frecuencia le envían un correo electrónico. Esta es la forma en que puede habilitar esta función:

: Acceda a su cuenta, haga clic en &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, a continuación haga clic en &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; y marque la casilla &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;.

[[File:3_ESWP_User_Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|La pestaña &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== ¿Me podéis dar un ejemplo de cómo utilizáis GPS y otras tecnologías de localización para mostrarme contenidos más relevantes? ==

¡Claro! Si está utilizando la aplicación móvil de Wikipedia, puede averiguar si hay artículos sobre lugares y cosas cerca de usted usando el botón &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot;. Su dispositivo le pedirá permiso para identificar y usar su ubicación actual antes de usar su información de ubicación. Si accede a esta función en su computadora portátil, computadora de escritorio o dispositivo sin GPS, esta función utilizará su información de su navegador para determinar su ubicación y encontrar artículos acerca de lugares y cosas (como esculturas públicas o edificios famosos) cerca de usted.

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== ¿Qué significa que &quot;deducís mi localización geográfica&quot;? ¿Y por qué necesitáis hacer eso? ==

Utilizamos algunos productos descargados, como [//www.maxmind.com/en/city GeoIP City DB de MaxMind], lo que nos permite determinar internamente la ubicación aproximada de nuestros usuarios. Y cuando decimos &quot;aproximada&quot;, lo decimos en serio: el GeoIP City DB resuelve su ubicación en el centro de los datos de área más precisos asociados con su IP. Las únicas posibilidades para los datos de área asociados son código postal, ciudad, región o país. A menos que se encuentre habitualmente en el centro geográfico de la zona más específica asociada a su dirección IP, es poco probable que los datos que recuperamos sean lo suficientemente buenos para enviarle un sándwich.

Hacemos esto para que tenga acceso a un contenido regional apropiado como avisos locales, anuncios de eventos y campañas locales para recaudar fondos. Para ver la información que tenemos registrada para su dirección IP, puede cargar nuestra [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup herramienta de búsqueda GeoIP] en cualquier momento y comprobar el resultado.

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== ¿Tenéis ejemplos de cuándo les daría permiso para compartir mi información? ==

Si recibe una beca para ir a [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], le pediremos permiso para compartir información con la sección local que acoja Wikimanía ese año para que podamos organizar el viaje correctamente. O si solicita una subvención, podemos pedirle permiso para compartir su información con los miembros del [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Comité de difusión de fondos]] que revisan su solicitud de subvención. O puede utilizar su nombre de usuario y contraseña de Wikimedia para entrar y enviar información a un sitio de terceros, utilizando servicios como [//openid.net/ OpenID] u [//oauth.net/ OAuth], en cuyo caso su información solo se enviará al sitio de terceros con su permiso explícito.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== ¿De qué formas se puede compartir la información de usuario para investigar, hacer cumplir o defender los sitios y políticas de Wikimedia? ==

Es importante para nosotros asegurar que todo el mundo juega con las mismas reglas y algunas veces esto significa que necesitamos investigar y compartir información de usuarios específicos para asegurarnos de que lo están haciendo.

Por ejemplo, la información de usuario se puede compartir cuando un [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] está investigando un abuso sobre un Proyecto, como un uso sospechoso o malicioso de &quot;títeres&quot; (cuentas duplicadas), vandalismo, acoso a otros usuarios o comportamiento perturbador. Si se descubre a un usuario infringiendo nuestros [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Términos de Uso]] o cualquier otra política importante, la información personal del usuario puede ser proporcionada a un proveedor de servicio, operador o a una entidad tercera, por ejemplo, para ayudar a localizar los bloques IP o para establecer una queja al Proveedor de Servicios de Internet pertinente.

Otro ejemplo es, si se nos notifica que un usuario ha hecho una amenaza de bomba, tenemos que dar información relacionada con esa amenaza a las autoridades locales para salvar vidas.

También podemos usar Información personal para otros fines benéficos legítimos descritos en nuestra Política de privacidad.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== ¿Me podéis dar algunas categorías y ejemplos de cuándo compartiríais mi información con proveedores terceros? ==

¡Por supuesto! Los sitios de Wikimedia dependen de proveedores de alojamiento, proveedores de red de fibra óptica, centros de datos y otros proveedores de servicios y contratistas. Tenemos un contrato con estos proveedores de servicios, y solo tienen acceso a sus datos para realizar servicios para nosotros de acuerdo con esta política. En otras ocasiones, podemos utilizar proveedores terceros para ayudarnos a gestionar la información que almacenamos o utilizamos, atender las solicitudes de los usuarios y otras necesidades operativas (como auditorías). Por ejemplo, podemos utilizar sistemas de gestión de subvenciones de terceros para mantener la información del solicitante de la subvención y hacer que nuestro proceso de solicitud sea más simple y más eficiente, o podemos usar proveedores terceros para servicios de notificación y correo electrónico para el personal y los usuarios.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== ¿Qué información se revela cuando hago clic en un enlace en un sitio de Wikimedia que me lleva a un sitio externo de terceros? ==

Cuando hace clic en un enlace en un sitio de Wikimedia que le envía a un sitio web externo, la información de referencia solo transmite el origen de su dominio, no la página específica de Wikimedia visitada, a ese destino de terceros. Por ejemplo, si está leyendo un artículo en Wikipedia y hace clic en una cita que lo dirige a un artículo de noticias en un sitio externo, la información de referencia contiene solo el dominio de Wikipedia, no la URL específica del artículo. Este tipo de política de referencia se conoce como [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].

Limitamos la información referida de esta manera para proteger la privacidad del usuario, y evitamos revelar información confidencial sobre las páginas vistas por los usuarios, mientras permitimos que los afiliados al movimiento y los socios recopilen información agregada sobre el tráfico recibido de los sitios web operados por Wikimedia. Para quienes deseen saber más y puedan estar interesados ​​en tener un mayor control sobre la información referida, el equipo de seguridad de la Fundación Wikimedia ha preparado una [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|página en Meta]] con algunos detalle más y herramientas recomendadas.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
==  ¿Cuál es el riesgo de de volver a identificarse? ==

En unos pocos casos (¡sin involucrar a los sitios de Wikimedia, por lo que sabemos!), investigadores independientes han podido vincular información no personal y agregada de diferentes fuentes a usuarios particulares. Si bien tratamos de evitar esto buscando anular la identificación de la información personal antes de compartirla con fines de investigación, queremos asegurarnos de que esté al tanto de este riesgo.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== ¿La Fundación Wikimedia usa HTTPS en sus sitios? ==

¡Sí! Hemos estado implementando comunicaciones de solo HTTPS en todos los sitios de Wikimedia desde [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. También implementamos varias medidas relacionadas para asegurar aún más nuestro tráfico más allá de los estándares mínimos de la industria, que incluyen: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ preinstalación de HSTS en el navegador], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], y certificados de servidor [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]. Incrustamos certificaciones de tiempo firmadas para [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Transparencia de certificados]] y habilitamos las mejores opciones de cifrado de su clase, incluyendo [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] y [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. También [[phab:T147199|rechazamos las cifras desactualizadas]] antes de que se conviertan en la próxima emergencia. Para obtener la información más reciente sobre nuestros esfuerzos, consulte nuestra [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|página de estado HTTPS]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== ¿Utiliza la Fundación Wikimedia un CAPTCHA en sus sitios? ==

Sí. Un sistema CAPTCHA, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], se introdujo por primera vez en los wikis en la década de 2000. A partir de 2025, comenzó a implementarse en los sitios de Wikimedia un sistema mejorado que utiliza los servicios de hCaptcha [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|comenzó a implementarse]]. Mientras que el sistema FancyCaptcha planteaba desafíos a todos los usuarios, el nuevo sistema solo lo hace con aquellos que probablemente sean bots. hCaptcha también nos proporciona indicadores de «probabilidad de ser un bot» para la creación de cuentas y las ediciones cubiertas por el sistema, independientemente de si se planteó un desafío durante la sesión.

Para proteger la privacidad de nuestros usuarios, hemos implementado [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|medidas técnicas]] destinadas a reducir la sensibilidad de la información que enviamos a hCaptcha. Estas medidas incluyen canalizar el tráfico de nuestros usuarios a través de un proxy controlado por Wikimedia para garantizar que las direcciones IP, las cabeceras sensibles y las cookies de los usuarios no se envíen a hCaptcha. Asimismo, hCaptcha no puede ver las URL específicas de las páginas que visitan nuestros usuarios y descarta en un plazo de 10 días los datos que recopila sobre ellos.

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== ¿Me podéis dar ejemplos de cuánto tiempo guardan mis datos? ==

Depende del tipo de datos y de cómo se recopilaron. Por ejemplo, la información a la que se puede acceder mediante la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|herramienta CheckUser]] se elimina después de tres meses. Otra información, como las direcciones IP asociadas con las contribuciones de usuarios que no editaron desde una cuenta estándar o una cuenta temporal pueden servisibles en el historial de revisión de un artículo indefinidamente. Puede obtener más información sobre cuánto tiempo conservamos diferentes tipos de datos en nuestras [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|directrices de retención de datos]].

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== ¿Existe un organismo comunitario a cargo de investigar supuestas violaciones de privacidad? ==

Un grupo de usuarios experimentados llamado [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] tiene el poder y la autoridad para investigar violaciones y presuntas violaciones de esta Política de privacidad y hacernos recomendaciones sobre cómo afrontar una violación o supuesta violación.

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== ¡Hay información obsoleta o inexacta sobre mí en un artículo de la Wikipedia! ¿Cómo actualizo mi información? ==

La principal [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Política de privacidad]] cubre la información personal de nuestros usuarios. Sin embargo, si hay información desactualizada o inexacta sobre usted en un artículo de Wikipedia, la mejor manera de actualizar el artículo es seguir las políticas y procedimientos de contenido de la comunidad de usuarios. Puede comentar en la página Discusión del artículo (haciendo clic en &quot;Discusión&quot; en la parte superior izquierda y luego editando la página) para plantear cualquier pregunta o inquietud para que la revisen otros editores que trabajen en el artículo. Si prefiere no comentar en la página, puede obtener ayuda de voluntarios experimentados de Wikimedia enviando un correo electrónico a {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} o a la [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|dirección de correo electrónico correcta]] para el idioma correspondiente. Los proyectos de Wikimedia se escriben en colaboración y se basan en el consenso. Esto significa que la información de los artículos de Wikipedia está escrita, actualizada y controlada por una comunidad global de usuarios como usted. La Fundación Wikimedia cree que, en general, la comunidad debe determinar qué contenido pertenece a los proyectos, y alentamos el uso de los procedimientos comunitarios establecidos para resolver posibles inquietudes o disputas.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== ¿Qué son las señales ''Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;)'' y cómo responde la Fundación Wikimedia ante ellas? ==

''&quot;Do Not Track&quot;'' o ''&quot;DNT&quot;'' es una forma de que su navegador web le indique al sitio web que visita que no desea ser rastreado por terceros cuyos sitios web no visitó, como servicios de análisis, redes publicitarias y plataformas sociales. Al usar este mecanismo, su navegador envía una señal, expresando su deseo de que su información personal, particularmente sobre sus actividades en línea y las interacciones de la red, no se transmita a terceros. Al recibir una señal DNT enviada por su navegador, la persona o entidad propietaria del sitio web tiene la opción de respetar o ignorar la solicitud mencionada.

La Fundación Wikimedia está comprometida firmemente a no compartir la información personal que recopilamos del usuario —incluyendo las actividades en línea e interacciones de red con los Sitios de Wikimedia— con ningún tercero, excepto bajo las situaciones específicas detalladas en la sección &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Cuándo podríamos compartir tu información]]&quot; de nuestra Política de privacidad.

Debido a este compromiso, protegemos a todos y no cambiamos nuestro comportamiento en respuesta a la señal DNT de un navegador web.

Puede encontrar más información acerca de la tecnología ''&quot;Do Not Track&quot;'' y la propuesta de política en [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track a  nosotros], y la [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ Especificación ''Do Not Track'' del Consorcio World Wide Web].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== ¡Creía que nunca necesitaría una cuenta para leer o contribuir! ¿En qué circunstancias tendría que registrarme para leer o contribuir? ==

Nunca necesita una cuenta para leer un sitio público de Wikimedia. Y en la mayoría de los casos, no necesita una cuenta para contribuir a un sitio de Wikimedia. Sin embargo, hay algunas instancias excepcionales en las que deberá registrar una cuenta si desea contribuir. Una comunidad local de editores o colaboradores (por ejemplo, la comunidad de Wikipedia en español o la comunidad de Wikimedia en malayo) o la Fundación Wikimedia en sí misma pueden decidir establecer restricciones temporales o permanentes sobre lo que puede cambiar. Por ejemplo, una página específica puede estar temporalmente restringida de edición para permitirla solo a usuarios experimentados o administradores debido a problemas de vandalismo o derechos de autor. También es posible que no pueda subir contenido como imágenes o videos sin iniciar sesión porque necesitamos verificar que se hayan obtenido los permisos adecuados del titular de los derechos de autor (si los medios aún no están en el dominio público) para publicar el contenido.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== ¿Puede darme algunos ejemplos de qué tipo de información está disponible a través de los registros públicos? ==

¡Claro! Los registros públicos pueden incluir cuándo se creó su cuenta, cuándo eliminó una página o cuándo agradeció a otro usuario. Si desea un ejemplo, también puede navegar a través de algunos de los registros públicos de esta wiki en [[[[Special:Log|Special:Log]]|Special:Log]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== ¿Puedo eliminar y/o anonimizar cualquier contenido que publique en cualquier sitio de Wikimedia, si no deseo que me identifiquen personalmente? ¿Si es así, cómo? ==

Los sitios de Wikimedia utilizan historiales de revisión disponibles públicamente para generar consenso, promover la transparencia entre los colaboradores y editores, y afirmar la autenticidad del contenido de nuestros sitios. Por lo tanto, una vez que publicas información en los sitios de Wikimedia, es pública y es probable que no puedas eliminarla. Incluso si eliminas cierto contenido (por ejemplo, de un artículo de Wikipedia), seguirá estando disponible públicamente en la sección &quot;historial de revisiones&quot; del artículo. En determinadas circunstancias, puede solicitar que se elimine de la visibilidad pública una página o archivo o una parte del historial de una página o archivo (por ejemplo, si accidentalmente publica información personal de alto riesgo como el número de su tarjeta de crédito). Tenga en cuenta que las decisiones de eliminación (p.e. la eliminación de un artículo completo) no siempre se realizan de forma centralizada y, a veces, vienen después de una discusión pública entre la comunidad de Wikipedia (consulte la [[w:es:Wikipedia:Política de borrado|política de borrado]] de Wikipedia en español para más información). Este procedimiento no garantiza la eliminación completa o exhaustiva del contenido o la información publicada en los Sitios de Wikimedia.

También puede solicitar la supresión (supervisión) para ocultar las revisiones, los nombres de usuario en historiales de edición y registros, o porciones de entradas de registro individuales. La supresión es un proceso en la wiki que se aplica a usos específicos. Consulte la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|página Meta-Wiki sobre la supresión]] para obtener más información e instrucciones.

Si usted es un usuario registrado, le recomendamos que no use su nombre real como su nombre de usuario si no desea que otros tengan una conexión entre lo que publica en los Sitios de Wikimedia y su nombre real. Puede obtener más información sobre cómo elegir su nombre de usuario en la [[w:es:Wikipedia:Nombres de usuario|Política de nombres de usuario de la Wikipedia en español]]. Tenga en cuenta que esta Política de nombres de usuario solo se aplica a la Wikipedia en español, y las diferentes Wikipedias tienen políticas diferentes. Recomendamos verificar la política de nombres de usuario en el proyecto que desea utilizar para asegurarse de que cumpla con las prácticas locales.

Si ya ha incluido información de identificación personal (como su nombre real) en su nombre de usuario y no desea identificarse personalmente con sus contribuciones, le recomendamos que solicite la anonimización de la información (en lugar de continuar con los procesos de eliminación y supresión descritos anteriormente) al solicitar un cambio de nombre de usuario. Para obtener información sobre cómo cambiar su nombre de usuario, consulte [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|la página de Meta-Wiki sobre cambiar el nombre de usuario]].

El proceso de desidentificación no puede garantizar la anonimización completa o exhaustiva de todo el contenido o la información personal publicada en los Sitios de Wikimedia relacionados con su nombre de usuario anterior. Si se concede su solicitud, el cambio de nombre solo se producirá en los registros generados automáticamente (como los historiales de página) en asociación con el contenido que haya publicado. El cambio de nombre no borrará las menciones de su nombre de usuario anteriores por parte de terceros. Por ejemplo, si cambió su nombre de usuario de MichaelPaul a Owlwatcher345, el contenido que contribuyó se atribuirá a Owlwatcher345, pero si otro usuario lo mencionó con el nombre de MichaelPaul en una página de discusión, MichaelPaul seguirá apareciendo en lugar de Owlwatcher345.

Consulte nuestra [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Política de privacidad]] para obtener más información sobre sus opciones con respecto al uso que hacemos de su información personal y cómo puede ejercer estas opciones.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== ¿Cuáles son las diferencias introducidas en esta Política de privacidad? ¿Puedo consultar versiones más antiguas? ==

Al igual que muchas organizaciones, hemos crecido y cambiado a lo largo de los años, y redactamos esta Política de privacidad con la esperanza de que reflejará mejor no solo nuestras prácticas actuales, sino también a dónde esperamos llegar en el futuro. Nuestros objetivos eran hacer que esta Política de privacidad sea fácil de leer y transparente sobre la forma en que recopilamos la información y la usamos para comprender mejor y mejorar los sitios de Wikimedia por usted.

Si le interesa leer alguna de nuestras políticas de privacidad anteriores, tenemos versiones anteriores de nuestras políticas de privacidad accesibles y en archivos para su revisión. Desde que mantenemos nuestra Política de privacidad en un wiki, puede usar el [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} historial de la página] para comparar revisiones. Las que tienen mayores revisiones son de [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] y [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== ¿Qué es una &quot;cuenta estándar&quot; frente a una &quot;cuenta temporal&quot; o una &quot;cuenta no estándar&quot;? ==

Una cuenta estándar es aquella en la que puede registrarse para navegar o editar los principales proyectos Wikimedia como Wikipedia o Wikimedia Commons. Normalmente no es necesario proporcionar más que un nombre de usuario y una contraseña para crear una cuenta estándar con la Fundación Wikimedia; sin embargo, si creas una cuenta estándar utilizando un sistema gestionado por terceros, es posible que se te solicite información adicional, como una dirección de correo electrónico. Una cuenta no estándar es aquella en la que puedes registrarte para participar en el movimiento Wikimedia de una manera más profunda, aparte de leer o contribuir a uno de nuestros proyectos principales como Wikipedia.

Una [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|cuenta temporal]] es aquella que es creada automáticamente cuando usted realiza ciertas acciones como editar en los Sitios Wikimedia y no ha iniciado sesión en una cuenta estándar. Las ediciones subsecuentes en el mismo dispositivo y el mismo navegador le serán atribuidas a la misma cuenta temporal hasta que la cuenta expire. No se puede iniciar sesión a la cuenta temporal desde otro dispositivo o navegador ya que estas cuentas no poseen contraseñas. Una cuenta temporal dura hasta un máximo de 90 días, a menos de que salga de la sesión del navegador antes de dicho plazo. En este momento la cuenta temporal será desactivada automáticamente. Con ediciones subsecuentes se creará una nueva cuenta temporal.

Por ejemplo, si te registras para obtener una cuenta en sitios ajenos a la wiki como [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], o [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] o trabajas en una iniciativa especial como Educación Global, puede que se te pida que te registres para obtener una cuenta para participar y el registro para esas cuentas puede requerir información adicional aparte de un nombre de usuario y una contraseña, como una dirección de correo electrónico.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|Volver a la Política de privacidad]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== ¿Pueden facilitarme algunos ejemplos de tipos de cookies y cómo utilizan el almacenamiento local? ==

¡Claro! Las cookies (y las tecnologías de almacenamiento local relacionadas) utilizadas por los Sitios de Wikimedia generalmente se clasifican en las siguientes categorías:

* Funcionalidad: estas cookies ayudan a los sitios de Wikimedia a funcionar, incluyendo las funciones esenciales, como el inicio de sesión y mantener una cuenta temporal.
* Preferencias: estas cookies almacenan sus preferencias, de manera que puedan ser recordadas la próxima vez que usted visite el sitio.
* Rendimiento y análisis: estas cookies recopilan información acerca de la forma en que se utiliza nuestro sitio web, lo que nos permite comprender mejor cómo funciona la página y mejorarla tanto para usted como para otros usuarios.
* De terceros: estas cookies nos permiten ofrecer servicios prestados por terceros, como los botones &quot;Me gusta&quot; y &quot;Compartir&quot;. Cuando un tercero proporciona este tipo de servicios, puede requerir el uso de una cookie para proporcionar sus servicios. (Estas solo se utilizarán con su consentimiento afirmativo).

Para obtener más información, visite nuestra  [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Declaración de cookies]].

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== ¿Qué opciones tengo para limitar el uso de los datos almacenados localmente en mi dispositivo? ==

Aunque esto no es una lista completa, aquí están algunas de las cosas que puede hacer para limitar el uso de los datos almacenados localmente en su dispositivo. Usted puede:

* eliminar o deshabilitar datos específicos almacenados localmente en la configuración de su navegador;
* utilizar un navegador que pueda bloquear las cookies de terceros; o
* instalar un programa adicional para bloquear datos almacenados localmente, si hay alguno disponible.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== ¿Cómo envío correos electrónicos desde los sitios de Wikimedia y cómo cambio qué notificaciones recibo? ==

Puede cambiar qué notificaciones recibe de las siguientes maneras:

: (a) Haciendo clic en el enlace después de &quot;Para controlar qué correos electrónicos le enviamos, verifique sus preferencias&quot; en la parte inferior de cualquier correo electrónico de notificación que le enviemos como se ve a continuación; o
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thump|center|500px]]
: (b) Accediendo a su cuenta, haga clic en &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; en la parte superior derecha de la pantalla, y a continuación haga clic en &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1_ESWP_Preferences.png|thumb|center|500px|La pestaña &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2_ENWP_Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|La pestaña &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

También tiene la opción de habilitar la función &quot;Enviar correo electrónico a este usuario&quot;, que permite a otros usuarios enviarle un correo electrónico directamente haciendo clic en &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; en el menú Herramientas en su página de usuario. Si habilita esta función, su dirección de correo electrónico no se revela cuando otros usuarios se ponen en contacto con usted (aunque lo hará si responde). Si habilita esta función, cualquier otro usuario puede enviarle un correo electrónico y no controlamos qué o con qué frecuencia le envían un correo electrónico. Esta es la forma en que puede habilitar esta función:

: Acceda a su cuenta, haga clic en &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, a continuación haga clic en &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; y marque la casilla &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;.

[[File:3_ESWP_User_Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|La pestaña &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;]]
[[File:4_ESWP_Enable_Email.png|thumb|center|500px|La opción &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== ¿Me podéis dar un ejemplo de cómo utilizáis GPS y otras tecnologías de localización para mostrarme contenidos más relevantes? ==

¡Claro! Si está utilizando la aplicación móvil de Wikipedia, puede averiguar si hay artículos sobre lugares y cosas cerca de usted usando el botón &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot;. Su dispositivo le pedirá permiso para identificar y usar su ubicación actual antes de usar su información de ubicación. Si accede a esta función en su computadora portátil, computadora de escritorio o dispositivo sin GPS, esta función utilizará su información de su navegador para determinar su ubicación y encontrar artículos acerca de lugares y cosas (como esculturas públicas o edificios famosos) cerca de usted.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== ¿Qué significa que &quot;deducís mi localización geográfica&quot;? ¿Y por qué necesitáis hacer eso? ==

Utilizamos algunos productos descargados, como [//www.maxmind.com/en/city GeoIP City DB de MaxMind], lo que nos permite determinar internamente la ubicación aproximada de nuestros usuarios. Y cuando decimos &quot;aproximada&quot;, lo decimos en serio: el GeoIP City DB resuelve su ubicación en el centro de los datos de área más precisos asociados con su IP. Las únicas posibilidades para los datos de área asociados son código postal, ciudad, región o país. A menos que se encuentre habitualmente en el centro geográfico de la zona más específica asociada a su dirección IP, es poco probable que los datos que recuperamos sean lo suficientemente buenos para enviarle un sándwich.

Hacemos esto para que tenga acceso a un contenido regional apropiado como avisos locales, anuncios de eventos y campañas locales para recaudar fondos. Para ver la información que tenemos registrada para su dirección IP, puede cargar nuestra [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup herramienta de búsqueda GeoIP] en cualquier momento y comprobar el resultado.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== ¿Tenéis ejemplos de cuándo les daría permiso para compartir mi información? ==

Si recibe una beca para ir a [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], le pediremos permiso para compartir información con la sección local que acoja Wikimanía ese año para que podamos organizar el viaje correctamente. O si solicita una subvención, podemos pedirle permiso para compartir su información con los miembros del [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Comité de difusión de fondos]] que revisan su solicitud de subvención. O puede utilizar su nombre de usuario y contraseña de Wikimedia para entrar y enviar información a un sitio de terceros, utilizando servicios como [//openid.net/ OpenID] u [//oauth.net/ OAuth], en cuyo caso su información solo se enviará al sitio de terceros con su permiso explícito.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== ¿De qué formas se puede compartir la información de usuario para investigar, hacer cumplir o defender los sitios y políticas de Wikimedia? ==

Es importante para nosotros asegurar que todo el mundo juega con las mismas reglas y algunas veces esto significa que necesitamos investigar y compartir información de usuarios específicos para asegurarnos de que lo están haciendo.

Por ejemplo, la información de usuario se puede compartir cuando un [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] está investigando un abuso sobre un Proyecto, como un uso sospechoso o malicioso de &quot;títeres&quot; (cuentas duplicadas), vandalismo, acoso a otros usuarios o comportamiento perturbador. Si se descubre a un usuario infringiendo nuestros [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Términos de Uso]] o cualquier otra política importante, la información personal del usuario puede ser proporcionada a un proveedor de servicio, operador o a una entidad tercera, por ejemplo, para ayudar a localizar los bloques IP o para establecer una queja al Proveedor de Servicios de Internet pertinente.

Otro ejemplo es, si se nos notifica que un usuario ha hecho una amenaza de bomba, tenemos que dar información relacionada con esa amenaza a las autoridades locales para salvar vidas.

También podemos usar Información personal para otros fines benéficos legítimos descritos en nuestra Política de privacidad.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== ¿Me podéis dar algunas categorías y ejemplos de cuándo compartiríais mi información con proveedores terceros? ==

¡Por supuesto! Los sitios de Wikimedia dependen de proveedores de alojamiento, proveedores de red de fibra óptica, centros de datos y otros proveedores de servicios y contratistas. Tenemos un contrato con estos proveedores de servicios, y solo tienen acceso a sus datos para realizar servicios para nosotros de acuerdo con esta política. En otras ocasiones, podemos utilizar proveedores terceros para ayudarnos a gestionar la información que almacenamos o utilizamos, atender las solicitudes de los usuarios y otras necesidades operativas (como auditorías). Por ejemplo, podemos utilizar sistemas de gestión de subvenciones de terceros para mantener la información del solicitante de la subvención y hacer que nuestro proceso de solicitud sea más simple y más eficiente, o podemos usar proveedores terceros para servicios de notificación y correo electrónico para el personal y los usuarios.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== ¿Qué información se revela cuando hago clic en un enlace en un sitio de Wikimedia que me lleva a un sitio externo de terceros? ==

Cuando hace clic en un enlace en un sitio de Wikimedia que le envía a un sitio web externo, la información de referencia solo transmite el origen de su dominio, no la página específica de Wikimedia visitada, a ese destino de terceros. Por ejemplo, si está leyendo un artículo en Wikipedia y hace clic en una cita que lo dirige a un artículo de noticias en un sitio externo, la información de referencia contiene solo el dominio de Wikipedia, no la URL específica del artículo. Este tipo de política de referencia se conoce como [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].

Limitamos la información referida de esta manera para proteger la privacidad del usuario, y evitamos revelar información confidencial sobre las páginas vistas por los usuarios, mientras permitimos que los afiliados al movimiento y los socios recopilen información agregada sobre el tráfico recibido de los sitios web operados por Wikimedia. Para quienes deseen saber más y puedan estar interesados ​​en tener un mayor control sobre la información referida, el equipo de seguridad de la Fundación Wikimedia ha preparado una [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|página en Meta]] con algunos detalle más y herramientas recomendadas.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
==  ¿Cuál es el riesgo de de volver a identificarse? ==

En unos pocos casos (¡sin involucrar a los sitios de Wikimedia, por lo que sabemos!), investigadores independientes han podido vincular información no personal y agregada de diferentes fuentes a usuarios particulares. Si bien tratamos de evitar esto buscando anular la identificación de la información personal antes de compartirla con fines de investigación, queremos asegurarnos de que esté al tanto de este riesgo.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== ¿La Fundación Wikimedia usa HTTPS en sus sitios? ==

¡Sí! Hemos estado implementando comunicaciones de solo HTTPS en todos los sitios de Wikimedia desde [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. También implementamos varias medidas relacionadas para asegurar aún más nuestro tráfico más allá de los estándares mínimos de la industria, que incluyen: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ preinstalación de HSTS en el navegador], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], y certificados de servidor [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]. Incrustamos certificaciones de tiempo firmadas para [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Transparencia de certificados]] y habilitamos las mejores opciones de cifrado de su clase, incluyendo [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] y [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. También [[phab:T147199|rechazamos las cifras desactualizadas]] antes de que se conviertan en la próxima emergencia. Para obtener la información más reciente sobre nuestros esfuerzos, consulte nuestra [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|página de estado HTTPS]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== ¿Utiliza la Fundación Wikimedia un CAPTCHA en sus sitios? ==

Sí. Un sistema CAPTCHA, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], se introdujo por primera vez en los wikis en la década de 2000. A partir de 2025, comenzó a implementarse en los sitios de Wikimedia un sistema mejorado que utiliza los servicios de hCaptcha [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|comenzó a implementarse]]. Mientras que el sistema FancyCaptcha planteaba desafíos a todos los usuarios, el nuevo sistema solo lo hace con aquellos que probablemente sean bots. hCaptcha también nos proporciona indicadores de «probabilidad de ser un bot» para la creación de cuentas y las ediciones cubiertas por el sistema, independientemente de si se planteó un desafío durante la sesión.

Para proteger la privacidad de nuestros usuarios, hemos implementado [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|medidas técnicas]] destinadas a reducir la sensibilidad de la información que enviamos a hCaptcha. Estas medidas incluyen canalizar el tráfico de nuestros usuarios a través de un proxy controlado por Wikimedia para garantizar que las direcciones IP, las cabeceras sensibles y las cookies de los usuarios no se envíen a hCaptcha. Asimismo, hCaptcha no puede ver las URL específicas de las páginas que visitan nuestros usuarios y descarta en un plazo de 10 días los datos que recopila sobre ellos.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== ¿Me podéis dar ejemplos de cuánto tiempo guardan mis datos? ==

Depende del tipo de datos y de cómo se recopilaron. Por ejemplo, la información a la que se puede acceder mediante la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|herramienta CheckUser]] se elimina después de tres meses. Otra información, como las direcciones IP asociadas con las contribuciones de usuarios que no editaron desde una cuenta estándar o una cuenta temporal pueden servisibles en el historial de revisión de un artículo indefinidamente. Puede obtener más información sobre cuánto tiempo conservamos diferentes tipos de datos en nuestras [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|directrices de retención de datos]].

== ¿Existe un organismo comunitario a cargo de investigar supuestas violaciones de privacidad? ==

Un grupo de usuarios experimentados llamado [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] tiene el poder y la autoridad para investigar violaciones y presuntas violaciones de esta Política de privacidad y hacernos recomendaciones sobre cómo afrontar una violación o supuesta violación.

== ¡Hay información obsoleta o inexacta sobre mí en un artículo de la Wikipedia! ¿Cómo actualizo mi información? ==

La principal [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Política de privacidad]] cubre la información personal de nuestros usuarios. Sin embargo, si hay información desactualizada o inexacta sobre usted en un artículo de Wikipedia, la mejor manera de actualizar el artículo es seguir las políticas y procedimientos de contenido de la comunidad de usuarios. Puede comentar en la página Discusión del artículo (haciendo clic en &quot;Discusión&quot; en la parte superior izquierda y luego editando la página) para plantear cualquier pregunta o inquietud para que la revisen otros editores que trabajen en el artículo. Si prefiere no comentar en la página, puede obtener ayuda de voluntarios experimentados de Wikimedia enviando un correo electrónico a {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} o a la [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|dirección de correo electrónico correcta]] para el idioma correspondiente. Los proyectos de Wikimedia se escriben en colaboración y se basan en el consenso. Esto significa que la información de los artículos de Wikipedia está escrita, actualizada y controlada por una comunidad global de usuarios como usted. La Fundación Wikimedia cree que, en general, la comunidad debe determinar qué contenido pertenece a los proyectos, y alentamos el uso de los procedimientos comunitarios establecidos para resolver posibles inquietudes o disputas.

== ¿Qué son las señales ''Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;)'' y cómo responde la Fundación Wikimedia ante ellas? ==

''&quot;Do Not Track&quot;'' o ''&quot;DNT&quot;'' es una forma de que su navegador web le indique al sitio web que visita que no desea ser rastreado por terceros cuyos sitios web no visitó, como servicios de análisis, redes publicitarias y plataformas sociales. Al usar este mecanismo, su navegador envía una señal, expresando su deseo de que su información personal, particularmente sobre sus actividades en línea y las interacciones de la red, no se transmita a terceros. Al recibir una señal DNT enviada por su navegador, la persona o entidad propietaria del sitio web tiene la opción de respetar o ignorar la solicitud mencionada.

La Fundación Wikimedia está comprometida firmemente a no compartir la información personal que recopilamos del usuario —incluyendo las actividades en línea e interacciones de red con los Sitios de Wikimedia— con ningún tercero, excepto bajo las situaciones específicas detalladas en la sección &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Cuándo podríamos compartir tu información]]&quot; de nuestra Política de privacidad.

Debido a este compromiso, protegemos a todos y no cambiamos nuestro comportamiento en respuesta a la señal DNT de un navegador web.

Puede encontrar más información acerca de la tecnología ''&quot;Do Not Track&quot;'' y la propuesta de política en [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track a  nosotros], y la [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ Especificación ''Do Not Track'' del Consorcio World Wide Web].

== ¡Creía que nunca necesitaría una cuenta para leer o contribuir! ¿En qué circunstancias tendría que registrarme para leer o contribuir? ==

Nunca necesita una cuenta para leer un sitio público de Wikimedia. Y en la mayoría de los casos, no necesita una cuenta para contribuir a un sitio de Wikimedia. Sin embargo, hay algunas instancias excepcionales en las que deberá registrar una cuenta si desea contribuir. Una comunidad local de editores o colaboradores (por ejemplo, la comunidad de Wikipedia en español o la comunidad de Wikimedia en malayo) o la Fundación Wikimedia en sí misma pueden decidir establecer restricciones temporales o permanentes sobre lo que puede cambiar. Por ejemplo, una página específica puede estar temporalmente restringida de edición para permitirla solo a usuarios experimentados o administradores debido a problemas de vandalismo o derechos de autor. También es posible que no pueda subir contenido como imágenes o videos sin iniciar sesión porque necesitamos verificar que se hayan obtenido los permisos adecuados del titular de los derechos de autor (si los medios aún no están en el dominio público) para publicar el contenido.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== ¿Puede darme algunos ejemplos de qué tipo de información está disponible a través de los registros públicos? ==

¡Claro! Los registros públicos pueden incluir cuándo se creó su cuenta, cuándo eliminó una página o cuándo agradeció a otro usuario. Si desea un ejemplo, también puede navegar a través de algunos de los registros públicos de esta wiki en [[[[Special:Log|Special:Log]]|Special:Log]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== ¿Puedo eliminar y/o anonimizar cualquier contenido que publique en cualquier sitio de Wikimedia, si no deseo que me identifiquen personalmente? ¿Si es así, cómo? ==

Los sitios de Wikimedia utilizan historiales de revisión disponibles públicamente para generar consenso, promover la transparencia entre los colaboradores y editores, y afirmar la autenticidad del contenido de nuestros sitios. Por lo tanto, una vez que publicas información en los sitios de Wikimedia, es pública y es probable que no puedas eliminarla. Incluso si eliminas cierto contenido (por ejemplo, de un artículo de Wikipedia), seguirá estando disponible públicamente en la sección &quot;historial de revisiones&quot; del artículo. En determinadas circunstancias, puede solicitar que se elimine de la visibilidad pública una página o archivo o una parte del historial de una página o archivo (por ejemplo, si accidentalmente publica información personal de alto riesgo como el número de su tarjeta de crédito). Tenga en cuenta que las decisiones de eliminación (p.e. la eliminación de un artículo completo) no siempre se realizan de forma centralizada y, a veces, vienen después de una discusión pública entre la comunidad de Wikipedia (consulte la [[w:es:Wikipedia:Política de borrado|política de borrado]] de Wikipedia en español para más información). Este procedimiento no garantiza la eliminación completa o exhaustiva del contenido o la información publicada en los Sitios de Wikimedia.

También puede solicitar la supresión (supervisión) para ocultar las revisiones, los nombres de usuario en historiales de edición y registros, o porciones de entradas de registro individuales. La supresión es un proceso en la wiki que se aplica a usos específicos. Consulte la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|página Meta-Wiki sobre la supresión]] para obtener más información e instrucciones.

Si usted es un usuario registrado, le recomendamos que no use su nombre real como su nombre de usuario si no desea que otros tengan una conexión entre lo que publica en los Sitios de Wikimedia y su nombre real. Puede obtener más información sobre cómo elegir su nombre de usuario en la [[w:es:Wikipedia:Nombres de usuario|Política de nombres de usuario de la Wikipedia en español]]. Tenga en cuenta que esta Política de nombres de usuario solo se aplica a la Wikipedia en español, y las diferentes Wikipedias tienen políticas diferentes. Recomendamos verificar la política de nombres de usuario en el proyecto que desea utilizar para asegurarse de que cumpla con las prácticas locales.

Si ya ha incluido información de identificación personal (como su nombre real) en su nombre de usuario y no desea identificarse personalmente con sus contribuciones, le recomendamos que solicite la anonimización de la información (en lugar de continuar con los procesos de eliminación y supresión descritos anteriormente) al solicitar un cambio de nombre de usuario. Para obtener información sobre cómo cambiar su nombre de usuario, consulte [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|la página de Meta-Wiki sobre cambiar el nombre de usuario]].

El proceso de desidentificación no puede garantizar la anonimización completa o exhaustiva de todo el contenido o la información personal publicada en los Sitios de Wikimedia relacionados con su nombre de usuario anterior. Si se concede su solicitud, el cambio de nombre solo se producirá en los registros generados automáticamente (como los historiales de página) en asociación con el contenido que haya publicado. El cambio de nombre no borrará las menciones de su nombre de usuario anteriores por parte de terceros. Por ejemplo, si cambió su nombre de usuario de MichaelPaul a Owlwatcher345, el contenido que contribuyó se atribuirá a Owlwatcher345, pero si otro usuario lo mencionó con el nombre de MichaelPaul en una página de discusión, MichaelPaul seguirá apareciendo en lugar de Owlwatcher345.

Consulte nuestra [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Política de privacidad]] para obtener más información sobre sus opciones con respecto al uso que hacemos de su información personal y cómo puede ejercer estas opciones.

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Zer aldatu da Pribatutasun Politika honetan? Bertsio zaharragoak ikus ditzaket?&lt;/span&gt; ==

Beste hainbat erakunde bezala, urteek aurrera egin ahala hazi eta aldatu gara; hori dela eta, Pribatutasun Politika hau idatzi dugu, gure egungo jarduna ez ezik, etorkizunerako aurreikusten dugun hori ere isla dezan. Gure helburua da Pribatutasun Politika berria irakurtzeko erraza eta gardena izatea; hala, ondo ulertuko duzu Wikimedia orriak hobetzeko helburuarekin zugandik jasotzen ditugun datuak zeintzuk diren, eta zertarako erabiltzen ditugun.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Nahi izanez gero, aukera duzu Pribatutasun Politikaren aurreko bertsioak irakurtzeko. Gure Pribatutasun Politika wiki batean dugunez, [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} orriaren historia] erabil dezakezu aurreko bertsioekin alderatzeko! Honako hauek dira gehien berrikusi direnak: [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] eta [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Zer desberdintasun dago “kontu arruntaren” eta “kontu ez-arruntaren” artean?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Kontu estandarrak Wikimedia proiektu nagusiak erabiltzeko (kontsultatu eta editatu) balio du, adibidez, Wikipedia edo Wikimedia Commons. Normalean, Wikimedia fundazioan kontu arrunta sortzeko, erabiltzaile-izena eta pasahitza besterik ez dira behar; alabaina, kontu arrunta hirugarren baten sistema erabiliz sortzen baduzu, bestelako informazioa ere eskatuko zaizu, adibidez, helbide elektronikoa. Kontu ez-arruntak, berriz, Wikimedia mugimenduan modu aktiboagoan parte hartzeko balio du, hau da, Wikipedia bezalako proiektuetan parte hartzetik (irakurtzea eta ekarpena egitea) harago.
&lt;br/&gt;
Esate baterako, wikiak ez diren orrietan kontua sortzen baduzu, hala nola, [$phabricatorlink Phabricator], [$gerritlink Gerrit] edo [[$otrslink|OTRS]], edota Global Education bezalako ekimen berezietan parte hartzen baduzu, kontu ez-arrunta sortzea eskatuko zaizu, eta, horrelako kontua sortzeko, erabiltzaile-izena eta pasahitza baino datu gehiago eman beharko dituzu, adibidez, helbide elektronikoa.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Jakina! Wikipediaren sakelakoetarako aplikazioa erabiltzen baduzu, zugandik hurbil dauden leku edo gauzei buruzko artikulurik dagoen ikus dezakezu, “{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}” botoia erabiliz. Zure kokalekuari buruzko informazioa erabili baino lehen, gailuak baimena eskatuko dizu. Funtzio hori ordenagailuan edo GPSrik ez darabilen gailu batean erabiliz gero, ordea, zure nabigatzaileak gordeta duen informazioa erabiliko da zure kokalekua jakiteko eta, horren arabera, zugandik gertu dauden leku eta gauzei (adibidez, eskulturak edo eraikin ospetsuak) buruzko artikuluak bilatzeko.

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Zer esan nahi du “nire kokalekua deduzitze” horrek? Eta zertarako behar duzue informazio hori?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Deskargatutako produktu batzuk, adibidez, [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind’s GeoIP City DB], erabiltzen ditugu gure erabiltzaileen gutxi gorabeherako kokalekua jakiteko. “Gutxi gorabeherako” esaten dugunean, benetan ari gara: GeoIP City DB izenekoak zure IP helbideari lotutako datu ahalik eta zehatzenen erdigunean kokatzen zaitu. Eremua zehazteko datu bakarrak posta-kodea, herria, eskualdea edo herrialdea dira. Normalean zure IP helbideari lotutako esparruaren erdigunean kokatuta ez bazaude, jasotzen ditugun datuak ez dira guztiz zehatzak izango (ezingo genizuke etxera ogitartekoa bidali).
&lt;/div&gt;

Zure kokalekua ezagutzearen helburua da eskualde horretako edukiak eskaintzeko, adibidez, tokiko albisteak, egingo diren ekitaldiak edo dirua biltzeko kanpainak. Zure IP helbideari lotuta dugun informazioa jakiteko, gure [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP tresna] erabil dezakezu, nahi duzun guztietan.

== Zein kasuetan, adibidez, eman behar dizuet baimena nire informazioa partekatzeko? ==

[//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania] kongresura joateko beka lortzen baduzu, baimena eskatuko dizugu zure informazioa partekatzeko urte horretan Wikimania kudeatzeaz arduratzen den tokiko sailarekin, bidaia behar bezala antolatu ahal izateko. Edo, diru-laguntzarik eskatzen baduzu, baimena eskatuko dizugu informazioa zure eskaria aztertzen ari diren [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funtsak Zabaltzeko Batzordeko]] kideekin partekatzeko. Edo, beharbada, Wikimedian saioa hasi (zure erabiltzaile-izenarekin eta pasahitzarekin) eta informazioa bidal dezakezu hirugarrenen webguneetara, adibidez, [//openid.net/ OpenID] edo [//oauth.net/ OAuth] erabiliz; kasu horretan, zure berariazko baimenarekin soilik bidaliko da informazioa hirugarrenaren webgunera.

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Nola erabiltzen duzue erabiltzaileen informazioa, adibidez, Wikimedia orriak eta politikak aztertzeko, sendotzeko edo babesteko? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Guretzat oso garrantzitsua da guztiok arau berberen arabera jardutea; hori egiaztatzeko, batzuetan erabiltzaile jakin batzuen informazioa aztertu eta partekatu beharko dugu.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Adibidez, informazio hori partekatuko da [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] bat Proiektu jakin bati lotuta abusua ikertzen ari denean, esaterako, honako hauek susmatzen ditugunean: “txotxongilo” gaiztoen (bikoiztutako kontuak) erabilera, bandalismoa, beste erabiltzaile batzuen aurkako jazarpena edo jokabide desegokiak. Erabiltzaileren batek gure [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Erabilera Baldintzak]] edo bestelako politika garrantzitsuren bat urratuz gero, bere informazio pertsonala partekatuko dugu zerbitzu-hornitzaile, operadore edo beste hirugarren batekin, adibidez, IP blokeak identifikatzen laguntzeko edo dagokion Internet Zerbitzuen Hornitzaileari kexa aurkezteko.
&lt;/div&gt;

Halaber, erabiltzaileren batek bonba mehatxua egin badu, mehatxu horrekin zerikusia duen informazioa partekatu behar dugu tokiko agintariekin, hainbat bizitza salbatzeko.

Horrez gain, informazio pertsonala erabiliko dugu Pribatutasun Politikan deskribatutako legezko beste karitate-egintzetarako.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Jakin dezaket zein kasuetan partekatzen duzuen nire informazioa hirugarren hornitzaileekin?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Jakina! Adibidez, Wikimedia orriek web-ostatatzea, zuntz optikoa eta datu-zentroak behar dituzte, eta horietako bakoitza hornitzaile batek eskaintzen du. Hiru hornitzaile horiekin kontratua sinatu dugu, eta, horren arabera, politika honetan zehaztutako zerbitzua emateko soilik erabil ditzakete zure datuak. Beste kasu batzuetan, hornitzaileen laguntza behar dugu gorde edo erabili dugun informazio hori kudeatzeko. Esaterako, diru-laguntzak kudeatzeko sistemak erabil ditzakegu, hirugarrenenak, eskarien informazioa gordetzeko, prozesua errazteko eta modu eraginkorrean egiten dela bermatzeko; edo langileen helbide elektronikoak kudeatzeko hornitzailea.

Wikimedia orriren batean beste webgune batera daraman esteka bat sakatzen duzunean, webgune horren arduradunak jatorrizko domeinua baino ez du ezagutuko, hau da, ez zehazki jakingo zein Wikimedia orri ikusten ari zinen. Adibidez, Wikipediako artikulu bat irakurtzen ari zarela beste webgune batera daraman aipamena sakatzen baduzu, Wikipediaren domeinua jakinaraziko da, baina ez irakurtzen ari zinen artikulu konkretuaren URLa. Erreferentzia egiteko politika honi [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin “origin-when-cross-origin”] deritzo.
&lt;/div&gt;

Erreferentzia horren informazioa mugatzen dugu erabiltzailearen pribatutasuna babesteko, eta isilpean gordetzen dugu erabiltzaileak bisitatutako orriei buruzko informazioa; ordea, mugimenduei lotutako afiliatuek eta kideek informazio osagarria eskura dezakete Wikimediaren orrien bitartez jaso dituzten bisitei buruz. Informazio gehiago nahi izanez gero, edo erreferentziako informazioa hobeto kontrolatu, Wikimedia fundazioaren segurtasun taldeak [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|Meta orri]] bat prestatu du informazio zehatzagoarekin eta gomendatutako tresnekin.

== Zein da berriro identifikatzearen arriskua? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
[[$netflixprizelink|Zenbait kasutan]] (guk dakigula, Wikimedia orriekin ez da horrelakorik gertatu!), ikertzaileek lortu dute hainbat iturritatik eskuratutako informazio osagarria (ez pertsonala) erabiltzaile konkretuekin lotzea. Guk hori saihestu nahi dugu, beraz, ikerketak egiteko informazioa partekatzen dugunean, informazio anonimoa soilik zabaltzen dugu; hala ere, jakin ezazu arriskurik badagoela.

Bai! Bai, [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]az geroztik Wikimedia orri guztiek HTTPS erabiltzen dute. Horrez gain, oinarrizko neurriez gain, bestelako neurriak hartu ditugu trafikoaren segurtasuna are gehiago babesteko, besteak beste: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Nabigatzailean aurretik HSTS instalatzea], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], eta [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] ziurtagiriak. Denbora-markak erabiltzen ditugu [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]](e)(a)n, eta kodetzeko sistemarik onenak ere bai, adibidez, [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] eta [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

Esate baterako,  [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tresnaren]] bidez atzitu ahal den informazioa hiru hilabete igarotzean ezabatzen dugu. Bestelako informazioa, hala nola, erregistratu gabeko erabiltzaileek egindako ekarpenei lotutako IP helbideak, beti egongo da ikusgai artikuluaren historian.

Zenbait erabiltzaile adituk [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombudsman Commission]] delako batzordea osatzen dute. Batzorde horrek eskumena du Pribatutasun Politika honen ustezko urratzeak ikertzeko eta horrelako egoeraren aurrean guri gomendioak emateko.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Wikimedia proiektuak elkarlanean eta modu adostuan idazten dira. Horrek esan nahi du Wikipediako artikuluak zu bezalako hainbat erabiltzailek idazten, eguneratzen eta kontrolatzen dituztela. Wikipediako artikulu batean parte hartu baduzu edo eztabaida orriren batean norbaitek zure izena adierazi badu, eta uste baduzu zuri buruz ematen den informazioa zaharkituta dagoela edo ez dela zehatza, edukiei buruzko politikak eta prozedurak irakurri behar dituzu arazoa konpontzeko. Laguntzarik behar baduzu, mezu elektronikoa bidal diezagukezu ({{email|info|wikimedia.org}}). Wikimedia fundazioak ez du esku hartuko edukiei buruzko eztabaidetan; bere ustez, komunitateko beste kideekin lan egitea da desadostasunak konpontzeko modurik egokiena.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Zer dira Do Not Track (“DNT”) izeneko seinaleak eta nola egiten die aurre Wikimedia fundazioak?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
“Do Not Track” edo “DNT” delakoaren bidez, nabigatzaileak bisitatzen duzun webguneari adierazten dio ez duzula nahi hirugarrenek zure ekintzen berri izatea, baldin eta beren webgunea bisitatu ez baduzu, adibidez, analisi-zerbitzuek, publizitate sareek eta plataforma sozialek. Mekanismo hori erabiltzean, nabigatzaileak seinalea bidaltzen du, eta horrekin adierazten du ez duzula nahi zure datu pertsonalik (zehazki, webgunean egiten duzunari buruzko informazioa) hirugarrenekin partekatu dadila. Zure nabigatzaileak DNT seinalea bidaltzen duenean, webgunearen arduradunak (pertsona zein erakundea) eskaera hori onartzea edo bazter uztea erabaki dezake.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Wikimedia fundazioak konpromiso irmoa hartu du zuri buruz duen informazioa hirugarrenekin ez partekatzeko (horien artean, bisitatutako Wikimedia orriak eta bertan egindakoa), egoerak partekatzera behartzen gaituenean izan ezik, hots, Pribatutasun Politikako “[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Noiz partekatuko dugu zuri buruzko informazioa?]]” atalean adierazitako kasuetan.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Eta konpromiso horri irmo, hain zuzen, erabiltzaile guztiak babesten ditugu, eta gure jokabidea beti da berbera DNT seinaleen aurrean.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Uste nuen ez zela beharrezkoa kontua sortzea artikuluak irakurtzeko edo ekarpenak egiteko! Zein egoeratan sortu behar dut kontua artikuluak irakurtzeko edo ekarpenak egiteko? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Wikimedia orri publikoak irakurtzeko ez duzu konturik behar. Eta, kasu gehienetan, ez duzu konturik behar Wikimedia orriren batean ekarpena egiteko. Alabaina, kasu jakin batzuetan ezinbestekoa izango da erregistratzea ekarpena egin ahal izateko. Tokiko editore edo laguntzaileen talde batek (adibidez, Wikipediako komunitate ingelesa edo Malaysierako Wiktionary komunitatea) edo Wikimedia fundazioak berak erabaki dezake ezarpenetan alda ditzakezun gauzak mugatzea, aldi baterako zein betiko. Esate baterako, baliteke orri bat aldi beterako ezin editatzea, eta erabiltzaile adituek edo administratzaileek soilik sarbidea izatea horretara, bandalismo edo egile-eskubide arazoak direla eta. Horrez gain, baliteke irudi edo bideorik ezin kargatzea saioa hasita ez baduzu, egile-eskubideak dituen pertsona edo erakundeak eduki hori partekatzeko baimena eman duela egiaztatu behar baitugu hura argitaratu baino lehen (betiere, irudi edo bideo hori dagoeneko publikoa ez bada).

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Wikimedia orriren batean argitaratutako zerbait ezaba dezaket, edo anonimo egin, inork jakin ez dezan nor naizen? Hala bada, nola egin dezaket?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Wikimedia orrien historia publikoa da, erabiltzaileen artean adostasuna bilatzeko, gardentasuna sustatzeko eta orrietako edukien benetakotasuna frogatzeko. Hortaz, Wikimedia orrietan txertatzen duzun informazioa publikoa izango da, eta ezin izango duzu ezabatu. Idatzitako zerbait ezabatu arren (adibidez, Wikipediako artikuluren batean), “Ikusi historia” atalean irakurri ahal izango du edonork, artikulu horren barruan. Zenbait kasutan, aukera duzu orri zein fitxategi bat ezabatzeko eskaera egitea, edota horren historiaren zati bat ezabatzeko, publikoa izan ez dadin (esaterako, nahi gabe, bereziki babestu beharreko daturen bat argitaratzen baduzu, hala nola, zure kreditu-txartel zenbakia). Kontuan izan kasu askotan edukiak ezabatzeko erabakia (hau da, artikulua osorik ezabatzea) ez dagoela zentralizatuta, hau da, Wikipedia komunitate mailan adostu behar dela (informazio zabalagoa duzu Wikipediaren [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|edukiak ezabatzeko politika]]n). Prozedurak ez du bermatzen Wikimedia orrietan argitaratutako eduki guztiak ezabatuko direnik.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Halaber, ezabaketa (gainbegiratzea) ere eska dezakezu, berrikuspenak edota edukia aldatu duten erabiltzaileen izenak historiatik eta erregistrotik ezabatzeko, edo erabiltzaileak egindako zerbait ezabatzeko. Ezabaketa kasu jakin batzuetan soilik onartuko da. Mesedez, informazio gehiago nahi baduzu, irakurri [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Ezabaketari buruzko Meta-Wiki orria]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Erregistratutako erabiltzailea bazara, gure gomendioa da zure benetako izena ez erabiltzea; hala, beste erabiltzaileek ezingo dute lotu Wikimedia orrietan argitaratzen duzuna zure benetako izenarekin. Erabiltzaile-izena aukeratzeari buruzko informazio gehiago duzu hemen, ingelesez: [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|Erabiltzaile-izenari buruzko politika]]. Kontuan izan Erabiltzaile-izenari buruzko politika hori ingelesez dagoen Wikipediari soilik aplikatzen zaiola, izan ere, Wikipedia bakoitzak berea du. Parte hartu nahi duzun proiektu horretan aplikatzekoa den politika irakurtzea gomendatzen dizugu, bertan ezarritakoa betetzen duzula egiaztatzeko.
&lt;/div&gt;

Erabiltzaile-izenean dagoeneko zu identifikatzeko balio duen daturik txertatu baduzu (adibidez, zure benetako izena) eta hori aldatu nahi baduzu (alegia, zure ekarpenak zurekin ezin lotzea nahi izanez gero), informazioa anonimo egiteko eskaera egitea gomendatzen dizugu (arestian azaldutako ezabatze-prozesuen ordez); horretarako, erabiltzaile-izena aldatzeko eskaera egin behar duzu. Erabiltzaile-izena nola alda dezakezun jakiteko, irakurri [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|Erabiltzaile-izena aldatzeari buruzko Meta-Wiki orria]].

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Anonimo egiteko prozesuaren bidez, ordea, baliteke anonimo ez egitea aurreko erabiltzaile-izenarekin Wikimedia orrietan partekatu zenuen eduki guztia. Zure eskaera onartuz gero, izen-aldaketa erregistro automatikoetan soilik egingo da (adibidez, orrien historian), argitaratzen duzun eduki berriari lotuta. Beste pertsona batzuek zure aurreko erabiltzaile-izena aipatu badute nonbait, aipamen horiek ez dira ezabatuko izen-aldaketa egitean. Adibidez, zure aurreko erabiltzaile-izena MichaelPaul bazen, eta berria, Owlwatcher345, aurretik egindako ekarpenak Owlwatcher345 erabiltzaile-izenari lotuta egongo dira; alabaina, beste erabiltzaileren batek eztabaida orri batean aipatu bazintuen, MichaelPaul erabiltzaile-izena erabiliz, oraindik ere MichaelPaul agertuko da, ez Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

Irakurri gure [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Pribatutasun Politika]] zure Informazio Pertsonalari ematen diogun erabileraren aurrean zer aukera duzun jakiteko, bai eta kasu bakoitzean zer egin behar duzun ere.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Cosa è cambiato in questa Informativa sulla riservatezza? Posso vedere le versioni precedenti?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Come molte organizzazioni, siamo cresciuti e cambiati nel corso degli anni, e abbiamo tratteggiato questa informativa sulla riservatezza nella speranza che possa riflettere al meglio non solo la nostra attuale prassi, ma anche ciò cui intendiamo giungere nel tempo a venire. Ci siamo prefissati di rendere questa informativa sulla riservatezza facile da leggere e trasparente circa la modalità con cui raccogliamo le informazioni e le usiamo per meglio comprendere e migliorare i siti Wikimedia per te.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Se ti interessa leggere una fra le nostre passate informative sulla riservatezza, sappi che manteniamo le versioni precedenti in archivio e sono accessibili. Poiché sono archiviate in un wiki, puoi usare la [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} cronologia della pagina] per confrontare le versioni! Le principali revisioni sono state quelle del [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], del [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], e del [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Cos'è una &quot;utenza standard&quot; rispetto a una &quot;utenza non standard&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Una utenza standard è quella che puoi registrare per navigare nei principali Progetti Wikimedia come Wikipedia o Wikimedia Commons, ed effettuarvi modifiche. Una utenza non standard è quella che puoi registrare per partecipare più profondamente al Movimento Wiki, al di là del leggere o del contribuire a uno dei nostri Progetti come Wikipedia. Per esempio, se registri un account su [$bugzillalink Bugzilla], [$gerritlink Gerrit], o [[$otrslink|OTRS]], o lavori a iniziative speciali come Global Education, potrebbe esserti richiesto di creare una utenza la cui registrazione richiede più informazioni di un semplice nome utente e di una password, come per esempio l'indicazione di un indirizzo di posta elettronica.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Potete fornirmi alcuni esempi delle tipologie di cookies e come è utilizzata l'archiviazione in locale? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Certamente! I cookie (e la connessa tecnologia di archivio LocalStorage) utilizzata dai siti Wikimedia in genere ricadono nelle seguenti categorie:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Funzionalità: questi cookie aiutano il sito a funzionare meglio, includendo funzioni essenziali come il login.&lt;/span&gt;
* Preferenze: questi cookie tengono traccia delle tue preferenze, affinché possano essere ricordate la prossima volta che utilizzerai il sito.
* Prestazioni e Analisi: questi cookie raccolgono informazioni su come utilizzi il nostro sito web, così che possiamo comprendere meglio come il sito funziona e come possiamo migliorarlo per te e per altri utenti.
* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Terze Parti: questi cookie ci permettono di offrire servizi forniti da terze parti, come i bottoni &quot;mi piace&quot; e &quot;condividi&quot;. Quando una terza parte fornisce tali servizi, potrebbe richiedere l'utilizzo di un cookie. (Ciò potrà essere fatto soltanto con il tuo espresso consenso).&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Per esempi più specifici, abbiamo preparato la tabella che segue. Ma prima che inizi a leggerla, qui ci sono alcun note sui prefissi dei cookie (“{$wgCookiePrefix}”) che troverai nella tabella.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Quali opzioni ho per limitare l'utilizzo di dati archiviati in locale sul mio dispositivo? ==

Sebbene non sia una lista completa, queste sono alcune delle cose che è possibile fare per limitare l'utilizzo delle informazioni salvate in locale sul tuo dispositivo. Puoi:

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|La scheda &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|La scheda &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|La scheda &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;]]
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
[[File:4 ENWP Enable Email.png|thumb|center|500px|L'opzione &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;]]
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== La Wikimedia Foundation utilizza HTTPS sui suoi siti? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Quali sono alcuni esempi di quanto tempo conservate i miei dati? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== Qu’est-ce que la Politique de confidentialité a de différent ? Puis-je consulter des versions plus anciennes ? ==

Comme beaucoup d’organisations, nous avons grandi et changé au fil des ans et nous avons rédigé cette Politique de confidentialité en vue de traduire non seulement nos pratiques actuelles, mais aussi là où nous espérons être dans le futur. Nous avons cherché à rendre cette Politique de confidentialité lisible et transparente sur la façon dont nous recueillons et utilisons ces informations nous permettant de mieux comprendre les Sites Wikimédia et de les améliorer à votre intention.

Si vous souhaitez consulter une quelconque de nos Politiques de confidentialité passées, nous archivons les versions antérieures de nos Politiques de confidentialité pour que vous puissiez y accéder et les examiner. Étant donné que nous maintenons notre Politique de confidentialité sur un wiki, vous pouvez utiliser [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} l’historique de la page] pour comparer les versions ! Les principales révisions ont eu lieu en [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] et [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== Qu’est-ce qu’un « compte standard » par rapport à un « compte temporaire » ou un « compte non standard » ? ==

Un compte standard est un compte que vous pouvez ouvrir afin de parcourir ou modifier les principaux projets de Wikimédia, tels que Wikipédia ou Wikimédia Commons. Typiquement, vous n’êtes pas tenu de fournir plus qu’un nom d’utilisateur et un mot de passe pour créer un compte avec un site de la Fondation Wikimédia ; cependant, si cous créez un compte standard en utilisant un système géré par un tiers, vous pourriez avoir à fournir des informations complémentaires telles qu’une adresse courriel de contact. Un compte non standard est un compte que vous pouvez ouvrir afin de participer au mouvement Wikimédia de manière plus approfondie, en plus de consulter ou de contribuer à l’un de nos principaux projets comme Wikipédia.

Un [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|compte temporaire]] est un compte créé automatiquement lorsque vous effectuez certaines actions, telles que des modifications sur les sites Wikimedia, sans être connecté à un compte standard. Les modifications ultérieures effectuées à partir du même appareil et du même navigateur seront attribuées au même compte temporaire jusqu'à l'expiration de celui-ci. Vous ne pouvez pas vous connecter au compte temporaire en dehors du même appareil et du même navigateur, car ces comptes n'ont pas de mot de passe. Un compte temporaire a une durée maximale de 90 jours, sauf si vous quittez la session du navigateur avant. À ce moment-là, le compte temporaire sera automatiquement désactivé. Un nouveau compte temporaire est créé pour les modifications ultérieures.

Par exemple, si vous ouvrez un compte sur [phab: ''Phabricator''], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|''Gerrit'']] ou [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|''Équipe de réponse bénévole'']] ou si vous travaillez sur une initiative spéciale telle que ''Éducation globale'', vous devrez peut-être ouvrir un compte afin de pouvoir participer, sachant qu’un certain nombre d’informations pourront vous être demandées en plus du nom d’utilisateur et du mot de passe, par exemple une adresse de courriel.

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Pouvez-vous me donner quelques exemples des types de cookies que vous utilisez et de la façon dont vous utilisez le stockage local ? ==

Bien sûr ! Les cookies (et les technologies de stockage local associées) utilisés par les sites de Wikimédia relèvent en général des catégories suivantes :

* Fonctionnalité : ces cookies contribuent au fonctionnement des sites de Wikimédia, y compris pour des fonctionnalités essentielles telles que la connexion au compte de l’utilisateur  et la tenue de comptes temporaires.
* Préférences : ces cookies enregistrent vos préférences, de sorte à les mémoriser pour la prochaine fois que vous utiliserez le site ;
* Performances et analyse : ces cookies recueillent les informations sur la façon dont vous utilisez notre site Internet ; nous pouvons ainsi mieux comprendre comment fonctionne le site et l’améliorer à votre intention et celle des autres utilisateurs ;
* Tierces parties : ces cookies nous permettent de mettre à disposition des services fournis par des tierces parties, tels que les boutons « J’aime » et « Partager » : quand une tierce partie fournit ces types de services, ils peuvent nécessiter l’utilisation de cookies pour fournir ces services. (Ceux-ci ne sont utilisés qu’avec votre consentement explicite.)

Pour davantage d’informations, veuillez lire notre [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Déclaration des cookies]].

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Quelles sont les options dont je dispose pour limiter l’utilisation des données stockées localement sur mon appareil ? ==

Même s’il ne s’agit pas d’une liste exhaustive, voici quelques démarches à effectuer pour limiter l’utilisation des données stockées localement sur votre appareil. Vous pouvez :

* retirer ou désactiver certaines données stockées localement dans les paramètres de votre navigateur ;
* utiliser un navigateur qui peut bloquer les cookies de tierces parties ; ou
* installer un greffon permettant de bloquer les données stockées localement s’il en existe un.

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Comment faire pour envoyer un courriel au sein des Sites Wikimédia et comment modifier les notifications que je reçois ? ==

Vous pouvez modifier les notifications que vous recevez  soit :

: (a) en cliquant sur le lien figurant après « Pour contrôler les courriels que nous vous envoyons, vérifiez vos paramètres de préférences » au bas de tout courriel de notification que nous vous envoyons tel qu’indiqué ci-dessous ; ou bien
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) en vous connectant sur votre compte, puis en cliquant sur « {{int:mypreferences}} » en haut à droite de votre écran, puis sur « {{int:prefs-echo}} ».
: [[File:1 FRWP Prefs.png|500px|thumb|center|L’onglet « {{int:mypreferences}} ».]]
: [[File:2 FRWP Notifs.png|500px|thumb|center|L’onglet « {{int:prefs-echo}} ».]]

Vous avez également la possibilité d’activer la fonction « {{int:emailuser}} », qui permet aux autres utilisateurs de vous envoyer directement un e-mail, en cliquant sur « {{int:emailuser}} » dans le menu Boîte à outils de votre page utilisateur. Si vous activez cette fonction, votre adresse électronique ne sera pas révélée lorsque d’autres utilisateurs vous contacteront (mais elle le sera si vous répondez). Si vous activez cette fonction, tout autre utilisateur est susceptible de vous envoyer des courriels et nous n’en contrôlons ni le contenu, ni la quantité. Voici comment vous pouvez activer cette fonction :

: Connectez-vous sur votre compte, cliquez sur « {{int:mypreferences}} », puis cliquez sur l’onglet « {{int:prefs-personal}} » et cochez la case « {{int:allowemail}} ».

[[File:3 FRWP User Profile.png|500px|thumb|center|L’onglet « {{int:prefs-personal}} ».]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Pouvez-vous me donner un exemple de la façon dont vous utilisez le GPS et les autres technologies de localisation afin de me présenter des contenus plus pertinents ? ==

Bien sûr ! Si vous utilisez l’application mobile Wikipédia, vous pouvez vérifier s’il y a des articles sur les choses à voir où à faire près de là ou vous êtes en utilisant le bouton « {{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}} ». Votre appareil vous demandera l’autorisation d’identifier et d’utiliser votre localisation actuelle avant d’utiliser les informations associées. Si vous accédez à cette fonction sur votre ordinateur portable, votre ordinateur de bureau ou un appareil sans GPS, cette fonction utilisera les informations de votre navigateur pour vous localiser et trouver des articles sur les choses à voir ou à faire (comme des sculptures publiques ou des monuments célèbres) près de là où vous êtes.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Qu’entendez-vous par « déduire ma situation géographique » ? Et pourquoi avez-vous besoin de faire cela ? ==

Nous utilisons des produits téléchargés, tels que [//www.maxmind.com/en/city ''GeoIP City DB'' de MaxMind], qui nous permettent, en interne, de localiser approximativement nos utilisateurs. Et quand nous disons « approximativement », c’est exactement cela : ''GeoIP City DB'' calcule votre position au centre de la zone géographique la plus précise associée à votre adresse IP. Les seules zones géographiques associées possibles sont le code postal, la ville, la région ou le pays. Sauf si vous êtes habituellement situé au centre géographique de la zone la plus spécifique associée à votre adresse IP, il est peu probable que les données que nous récupérons soient suffisamment précises pour vous faire livrer un sandwich.

Nous procédons ainsi afin que vous puissiez recevoir les contenus régionaux pertinents tels qu’informations locales, annonces d’événements et campagnes de levée de fonds locales. Pour voir les informations que nous avons enregistrées pour votre adresse IP, vous pouvez charger notre [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup outil de recherche ''GeoIP''] à tout moment et en consulter les résultats.

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Donnez-moi quelques exemples où j’aurais intérêt à vous autoriser à partager mes informations ? ==

Si vous recevez une bourse pour assister à [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], nous pourrons éventuellement vous demander l’autorisation de partager vos informations avec la branche locale accueillant Wikimania cette année-ci afin de pouvoir organiser votre voyage. Ou bien, si vous demandez une subvention ou bourse, nous pourrons éventuellement vous demander l’autorisation de partager vos informations avec les membres du [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Comité de répartition des fonds]] qui examinent votre demande de subvention ou bourse. Ou bien vous pouvez utiliser vos nom d’utilisateur et mot de passe Wikimédia pour vous connecter et envoyer des informations sur un site tiers, à l’aide de services tels que [//openid.net/ ''OpenID''] ou [//oauth.net/ ''OAuth''], auquel cas vos informations ne seront envoyées qu’au site tiers et avec votre permission explicite.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Dans quelles conditions pouvez-vous être amenés à communiquer des informations d’utilisateur aux fins d’enquête, de mesures exécutoires ou de protection à l’égard des sites et des politiques Wikimédia ? ==

Il est important pour nous de pouvoir nous assurer que tout le monde respecte les mêmes règles ; cela signifie parfois que nous devons examiner et communiquer les informations de certains utilisateurs spécifiques afin de vérifier que c’est bien le cas.

Par exemple, il est possible de partager des informations d’utilisateur lorsqu’un [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|administrateur ''CheckUser'']] enquête sur les abus affectant un Projet, en cas, par exemple, de suspicion de « faux-nez » malveillants (duplication de comptes), de vandalisme, de harcèlement d’autres utilisateurs ou de comportement perturbateur. Si un utilisateur s’avère en infraction avec nos [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Conditions d’utilisation]] ou toute autre politique applicable, les informations personnelles de l’utilisateur pourront être divulguées à un fournisseur de services, un opérateur réseau ou une autre tierce partie, afin de permettre le blocage ciblé d’adresses IP ou de déposer une plainte auprès du fournisseur de services Internet concerné.

Autre exemple : si nous sommes avisés qu’un utilisateur est à l’origine d’une alerte à la bombe, nous devrons déclarer aux autorités locales un certain nombre d’informations associées à cette menace et susceptibles de sauver des vies.

Nous pouvons aussi utiliser les informations personnelles pour d’autres buts charitables légitimes décrits dans notre Politique de confidentialité.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Pouvez-vous me donner quelques situations et exemples où vous seriez amenés à communiquer mes informations à des fournisseurs tiers ? ==

Bien sûr ! Les Sites Wikimédia dépendent de fournisseurs d’hébergement, d’opérateurs de réseaux de fibre optique, de centres de données et d’autres fournisseurs et prestataires de services. Nous avons un contrat avec ces prestataires de services et ils n’ont accès à vos données que dans le cadre des prestations effectuées pour nous et en conformité à cette politique. De même, nous pouvons être amenés à utiliser des fournisseurs tiers pour nous aider à gérer les informations que nous stockons ou utilisons, traiter les requêtes des utilisateurs, ou autres besoins opérationnels (comme des audits). Par exemple, nous pouvons être amenés à utiliser des systèmes tiers de gestion des subventions afin de stocker les informations des demandeurs de subvention et de rendre notre processus de demande plus simple et plus efficace ou bien nous pouvons être amenés à recourir à des fournisseurs tiers de services de messagerie électronique et de notification pour notre personnel et les utilisateurs.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Quelles informations sont révélées lorsque je clique un lien sur un site Wikimédia qui me conduit vers un site tiers ? ==

Lorsque vous cliquez un lien sur un site Wikimédia qui vous conduit à un site web externe, l’information du référent ne transmet que votre domaine d’origine, pas la page spécifique du site Wikimédia visité. Par exemple, si vous lisez un article sur Wikipédia et vous cliquez sur une citation qui vous dirige vers un article d’actualité situé sur un site tiers, l’information du référent ne contient que le nom de domaine Wikipédia, pas l’URL de l’article spécifique. Ce type de politique des référents est connu comme [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin « ''origin-when-cross-origin'' »].

Nous limitons l’information des référents de cette façon afin de protéger la vie privée des utilisateurs et éviter de révéler des informations sensibles sur les pages visualisées par les utilisateurs, tandis que nous permettons aux affiliés et partenaires du mouvement de collecter des informations agrégées sur le trafic reçu depuis les sites web gérés par Wikimédia. Pour ceux qui voudraient en savoir davantage et pourraient être intéressés d’avoir un plus grand contrôle des informations de référents, l’équipe Sécurité de la Fondation Wikimédia a préparé une [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page sur Méta-Wiki]] donnant de plus amples détails et des outils recommandés.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Quels sont les risques de ré-identification ? ==

Dans [[$netflixprizelink|quelques cas]] (n’impliquant pas les Sites Wikimédia, pour autant que nous le sachions !), des chercheurs indépendants ont été en mesure d’associer des informations non personnelles et agrégées émanant de différentes sources à des utilisateurs particuliers. Bien que nous essayions d’éviter cela en cherchant à désidentifier les informations personnelles avant de les partager à des fins de recherche, nous tenons à nous assurer que vous êtes conscient de ce risque.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== La Fondation Wikimédia utilise-t-elle HTTPS sur ses sites ? ==

Oui ! Nous avons mis en place des communications uniquement en protocole sécurité (HTTPS) sur tous les sites de Wikimédia depuis [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015].  Nous avons également mis en place plusieurs mesures liées afin de renforcer la sécurité de notre trafic au delà des standards minimums de l’industrie, y compris : le protocole [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], le [//hstspreload.org/ préchargement HSTS par le navigateur], l’[[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|agrafage OCSP]], et le chiffrement [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] des certificats de serveurs. Nous incluons des horodatages certifiés pour la [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|transparence des certificats]] et activons les meilleures options de chiffrements de leur catégorie, y compris [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] et [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. Également, nous [[phab:T147199|déprécions les chiffrements obsolètes]] avant qu’ils ne deviennent la prochaine urgence. Pour en savoir plus sur nos efforts, consultez notre [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|page d’état de mise en œuvre de HTTPS]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Combien de temps conservez-vous mes données ? Avez-vous quelques exemples ? ==

Cela dépend du type de données et de la façon dont elles ont été recueillies. Par exemple, les informations accessibles par l’outil [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|''CheckUser'']] sont supprimées après trois mois. D’autres informations, telles que les adresses IP associées aux contributions d’utilisateurs qui n'ont pas effectué de modification à partir d'un compte standard ou d'un compte temporaire sont visibles indéfiniment dans l’historique des révisions de l’article. Pour plus d’informations sur la durée de conservation des différents types de données, consultez nos [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|recommandations concernant la conservation des données]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Y a-t-il un organe communautaire chargé d’enquêter sur de prétendues violations de la vie privée ? ==

Nous avons mis en place un groupe d’utilisateurs expérimentés, dénommé la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Commission de médiation]], qui a autorité pour enquêter sur les violations et les prétendues violations de la présente Politique de confidentialité et qui nous fait des recommandations sur la façon de traiter une violation avérée ou prétendue.

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== Il y a des informations obsolètes ou inexactes me concernant dans un article de Wikipédia ! Comment faire pour actualiser mes informations ? ==

La [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Politique de respect de la vie privée]] principale couvre l'information personnelle de nos utilisateurs. Cependant, si dans un article Wikipédia des informations vous concernant sont inexactes ou obsolètes, la meilleure façon de mettre à jour l'article est de suivre les politiques de contenus et procédures de la communauté. Vous pouvez placer un commentaire sur la page de discussion de l'article (en cliquant sur l'onglet &quot;Discussion&quot; en haut à gauche puis en éditant la page) pour faire part de toute question ou inquiétude pour les soumettre aux avis des autres éditeurs travaillant sur cet article. Si vous préférez ne pas placer de commentaire sur la page, vous pouvez obtenir de l'aide auprès de volontaires Wikimedia expérimentés par email à {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, ou à [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|l'adresse email correcte]] pour la langue qui convient. Les Projets Wikimédia sont rédigés collaborativement et fondés sur le consensus. Cela signifie que les informations des articles de Wikipédia sont rédigées, mises à jour et contrôlées par une communauté mondiale d’utilisateurs comme vous. La Fondation Wikimédia estime que la communauté devrait en général déterminer quels contenus font partie des projets, et encourage l'utilisation des procédures établies par la communauté pour résoudre les éventuels différends et inquiétudes.

== Que sont les signaux {{lang|en|''Do Not Track'' (''DNT'')}} et comment la Fondation Wikimédia y répond-t-elle ? ==

{{lang|en|''Do Not Track''}} (« Ne pas pister ») ou ''DNT'' désigne le mécanisme utilisé par votre navigateur pour indiquer au site web que vous visitez que vous ne désirez pas être pisté par des tiers  dont vous n’avez pas visité les sites web, tels que les services analytiques, les réseaux de diffusion publicitaire et les plateformes sociales. En utilisant ce mécanisme, un signal est envoyé par votre navigateur exprimant votre désir que vos informations personnelles, particulièrement vos activités en ligne et interactions sur le réseau, ne devraient pas être communiquées à des tiers. Lorsqu’elle reçoit le signal ''DNT'' envoyé par votre navigateur, la personne ou l’entité possédant le site web dispose de l’option de soit honorer, soit ignorer la demande sus-mentionnée.

La Fondation Wikimédia est fermement résolue à ne pas partager les informations personnelles que nous collectons de votre part (y compris vos activités en ligne et les interactions réseau avec les Sites Wikimédia) avec une quelconque tierce partie, sauf dans les situations spécifiques détaillées dans la section « [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Quand pourrions-nous partager vos informations ?]] » de notre Politique de confidentialité.

Du fait de cet engagement, nous protégeons chacun et ne modifierons pas notre comportement en réponse au signal ''DNT'' émis par un navigateur Internet.

Vous pouvez trouver davantage d’informations sur la technologie {{lang|en|''Do Not Track''}} et la proposition de politique sur le site [//donottrack.us/ {{lang|en|''Do Not Track Us''}}] (en anglais) et dans la [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ spécification {{lang|en|''Do Not Track''}} publiée (en anglais) par le ''World Wide Web Consortium'' (W3C)].

== Je pensais n’avoir jamais besoin d’un compte pour lire ou contribuer ! Dans quelles circonstances aurais-je besoin de m’inscrire pour lire ou contribuer ? ==

Vous n’avez jamais besoin d’un compte pour lire un Site Wikimédia public. Et dans la plupart des cas, vous n’avez pas besoin non plus d’un compte pour contribuer à un Site Wikimédia. Cependant, il y a de rares cas où vous aurez besoin d’un compte pour contribuer. Une communauté locale de rédacteurs ou contributeurs (par exemple la communauté de l’édition en anglais de Wikipédia ou celle de l’édition en malais du Wiktionnaire) ou la Fondation Wikimédia elle-même pourrait décider de placer une restriction temporaire ou permanente sur ce que vous pouvez changer. Par exemple une page spécifique peut être temporairement restreinte contre les modifications pour n’autoriser que les seuls utilisateurs expérimentés ou administrateurs à cause de problèmes de vandalisme ou de droit d’auteur. Vous pourriez aussi ne pas pouvoir téléverser du contenu tel que des images ou vidéos sans être préalablement connecté et identifié parce que nous avons besoin de vérifier que les autorisations appropriées ont été obtenues de la part de chaque titulaire de droits d’auteur (si le média n’est pas déjà dans le domaine public) afin de publier le contenu.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Pouvez-vous me donner quelques exemples des genres d’informations disponibles dans les journaux publics ? ==

Bien sûr ! Les journaux publics incluent les dates où vous avez créé votre compte, ou supprimé une page, ou lorsque vous avez remercié un autre utilisateur. Si vous souhaitez un exemple, vous pouvez naviguer parmi quelques-uns des journaux publics de ce wiki à [[[[Special:Log|Special:Log]]|Spécial:Journaux]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Puis-je supprimer ou anonymiser tout contenu que je poste sur tout site de Wikimédia, si je ne désire pas être personnellement identifié ? Si oui, comment ? ==

Les sites de Wikimédia utilisent des historiques publiquement disponibles pour construire un consensus, pour promouvoir la transparence parmi les contributeurs et rédacteurs et pour affirmer l’authenticité des contenus de nos sites. Par conséquent, dès que vous postez des informations sur les sites de Wikimédia, celles-ci sont publiques et vous ne serez probablement pas en mesure de les supprimer. Même si vous retirez vous-même certains contenus (par exemple d’un article de Wikipédia), ils resteront disponibles publiquement dans la section « voir l’historique » de l’article. Dans certaines circonstances, vous pouvez demander le retrait de la visibilité publique d’une page ou d’un fichier ou d’une partie de son historique (par exemple, si vous avez publié accidentellement une information personnelle à haut risque telle que votre numéro de carte de crédit). Veuillez noter que les décisions de suppression (c’est-a-dire la suppression d’un article entier) ne sont pas toujours réalisées de façon centralisée et peuvent parfois ne survenir qu’après une discussion publique au sein de la communauté Wikimédia (voyez la [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|politique de suppression]] de l’édition anglophone de Wikipédia pour plus de références). Cette procédure n’assure pas le retrait complet et exhaustif des contenus ou informations postées sur les sites de Wikimédia.

Vous pouvez également demander la suppression (ou la surveillance) afin de cacher des révisions, des noms d’utilisateurs dans les historiques et journaux de modifications, ou des portions d’entrées individuelles des journaux. La suppression est un processus sur le wiki lui-même qui s’applique a des cas d’utilisation spécifiques. Veuillez consulter la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|page de Méta-Wiki concernant la suppression]] pour plus d’informations et d’instructions.

Si vous êtes un utilisateur enregistré, nous vous encourageons à ne pas utiliser votre nom réel en tant que votre nom  d’utilisateur si vous ne souhaitez pas que d’autres découvrent une connexion entre ce que vous postez sur les sites de Wikimédia et votre identité réelle. Vous pouvez en savoir davantage sur la façon de choisir un nom d’utilisateur sur la page de [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|politique des noms d’utilisateurs]] de l’édition anglophone de Wikipédia. Veuillez noter que cette politique ne s’applique qu'à cette édition anglophone et que d’autres éditions de Wikipédia peuvent avoir des politiques différentes. Nous vous recommandons de vérifier la politique des noms d’utilisateurs sur le projet que vous comptez utiliser afin d’être sûr d’être en accord avec la pratique locale.

Si vous avez déjà inclus des informations personnellement identifiables (telles que votre nom réel) dans votre nom d’utilisateur et ne voulez pas être identifié personnellement dans vos contributions, nous vous encourageons à demander l’anonymisation des informations (au lieu d’amorcer le processus de retrait et suppression décrit ci-dessus) en demandant un changement de votre nom d’utilisateur. Pour plus d’informations sur la façon de changer votre nom d’utilisateur, consultez la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|page Méta-Wiki concernant le changement de nom d’utilisateur]].

Le processus de désidentification ne peut pas garantir l’anonymisation complète et exhaustive de tous les contenus ou informations personnelles postés sur les sites de Wikimédia relatifs à votre précédent nom d’utilisateur. Si votre demande est accordée, le changement de nom ne se produira que dans les journaux générés automatiquement (tels que les historiques de pages) associés aux contenus que vous avez postés. Le changement de nom ne supprimera pas les mentions de votre ancien nom effectuées par des tiers. Par exemple si vous avez changé votre nom d’utilisateur de MichaelPaul en Owlwatcher345, le contenu auquel vous avez contribué sera attribué à Owlwatcher345, mais si un autre utilisateur vous a mentionné par le nom MichaelPaul  dans une page de discussion, MichaelPaul continuera à apparaître et non pas Owlwatcher345.

Veuillez vous référer à notre [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Politique de respect de la vie privée]] pour obtenir plus d’informations concernant vos choix relatifs à l'usage que faisons de vos informations personnelles et comment vous pouvez exercer ces choix.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== Qu’est-ce que la Politique de confidentialité a de différent ? Puis-je consulter des versions plus anciennes ? ==

Comme beaucoup d’organisations, nous avons grandi et changé au fil des ans et nous avons rédigé cette Politique de confidentialité en vue de traduire non seulement nos pratiques actuelles, mais aussi là où nous espérons être dans le futur. Nous avons cherché à rendre cette Politique de confidentialité lisible et transparente sur la façon dont nous recueillons et utilisons ces informations nous permettant de mieux comprendre les Sites Wikimédia et de les améliorer à votre intention.

Si vous souhaitez consulter une quelconque de nos Politiques de confidentialité passées, nous archivons les versions antérieures de nos Politiques de confidentialité pour que vous puissiez y accéder et les examiner. Étant donné que nous maintenons notre Politique de confidentialité sur un wiki, vous pouvez utiliser [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} l’historique de la page] pour comparer les versions ! Les principales révisions ont eu lieu en [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] et [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== Qu’est-ce qu’un « compte standard » par rapport à un « compte temporaire » ou un « compte non standard » ? ==

Un compte standard est un compte que vous pouvez ouvrir afin de parcourir ou modifier les principaux projets de Wikimédia, tels que Wikipédia ou Wikimédia Commons. Typiquement, vous n’êtes pas tenu de fournir plus qu’un nom d’utilisateur et un mot de passe pour créer un compte avec un site de la Fondation Wikimédia ; cependant, si cous créez un compte standard en utilisant un système géré par un tiers, vous pourriez avoir à fournir des informations complémentaires telles qu’une adresse courriel de contact. Un compte non standard est un compte que vous pouvez ouvrir afin de participer au mouvement Wikimédia de manière plus approfondie, en plus de consulter ou de contribuer à l’un de nos principaux projets comme Wikipédia.

Un [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|compte temporaire]] est un compte créé automatiquement lorsque vous effectuez certaines actions, telles que des modifications sur les sites Wikimedia, sans être connecté à un compte standard. Les modifications ultérieures effectuées à partir du même appareil et du même navigateur seront attribuées au même compte temporaire jusqu'à l'expiration de celui-ci. Vous ne pouvez pas vous connecter au compte temporaire en dehors du même appareil et du même navigateur, car ces comptes n'ont pas de mot de passe. Un compte temporaire a une durée maximale de 90 jours, sauf si vous quittez la session du navigateur avant. À ce moment-là, le compte temporaire sera automatiquement désactivé. Un nouveau compte temporaire est créé pour les modifications ultérieures.

Par exemple, si vous ouvrez un compte sur [phab: ''Phabricator''], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|''Gerrit'']] ou [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|''Équipe de réponse bénévole'']] ou si vous travaillez sur une initiative spéciale telle que ''Éducation globale'', vous devrez peut-être ouvrir un compte afin de pouvoir participer, sachant qu’un certain nombre d’informations pourront vous être demandées en plus du nom d’utilisateur et du mot de passe, par exemple une adresse de courriel.

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Pouvez-vous me donner quelques exemples des types de cookies que vous utilisez et de la façon dont vous utilisez le stockage local ? ==

Bien sûr ! Les cookies (et les technologies de stockage local associées) utilisés par les sites de Wikimédia relèvent en général des catégories suivantes :

* Fonctionnalité : ces cookies contribuent au fonctionnement des sites de Wikimédia, y compris pour des fonctionnalités essentielles telles que la connexion au compte de l’utilisateur  et la tenue de comptes temporaires.
* Préférences : ces cookies enregistrent vos préférences, de sorte à les mémoriser pour la prochaine fois que vous utiliserez le site ;
* Performances et analyse : ces cookies recueillent les informations sur la façon dont vous utilisez notre site Internet ; nous pouvons ainsi mieux comprendre comment fonctionne le site et l’améliorer à votre intention et celle des autres utilisateurs ;
* Tierces parties : ces cookies nous permettent de mettre à disposition des services fournis par des tierces parties, tels que les boutons « J’aime » et « Partager » : quand une tierce partie fournit ces types de services, ils peuvent nécessiter l’utilisation de cookies pour fournir ces services. (Ceux-ci ne sont utilisés qu’avec votre consentement explicite.)

Pour davantage d’informations, veuillez lire notre [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Déclaration des cookies]].

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Quelles sont les options dont je dispose pour limiter l’utilisation des données stockées localement sur mon appareil ? ==

Même s’il ne s’agit pas d’une liste exhaustive, voici quelques démarches à effectuer pour limiter l’utilisation des données stockées localement sur votre appareil. Vous pouvez :

* retirer ou désactiver certaines données stockées localement dans les paramètres de votre navigateur ;
* utiliser un navigateur qui peut bloquer les cookies de tierces parties ; ou
* installer un greffon permettant de bloquer les données stockées localement s’il en existe un.

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Comment faire pour envoyer un courriel au sein des Sites Wikimédia et comment modifier les notifications que je reçois ? ==

Vous pouvez modifier les notifications que vous recevez  soit :

: (a) en cliquant sur le lien figurant après « Pour contrôler les courriels que nous vous envoyons, vérifiez vos paramètres de préférences » au bas de tout courriel de notification que nous vous envoyons tel qu’indiqué ci-dessous ; ou bien
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) en vous connectant sur votre compte, puis en cliquant sur « {{int:mypreferences}} » en haut à droite de votre écran, puis sur « {{int:prefs-echo}} ».
: [[File:1 FRWP Prefs.png|500px|thumb|center|L’onglet « {{int:mypreferences}} ».]]
: [[File:2 FRWP Notifs.png|500px|thumb|center|L’onglet « {{int:prefs-echo}} ».]]

Vous avez également la possibilité d’activer la fonction « {{int:emailuser}} », qui permet aux autres utilisateurs de vous envoyer directement un e-mail, en cliquant sur « {{int:emailuser}} » dans le menu Boîte à outils de votre page utilisateur. Si vous activez cette fonction, votre adresse électronique ne sera pas révélée lorsque d’autres utilisateurs vous contacteront (mais elle le sera si vous répondez). Si vous activez cette fonction, tout autre utilisateur est susceptible de vous envoyer des courriels et nous n’en contrôlons ni le contenu, ni la quantité. Voici comment vous pouvez activer cette fonction :

: Connectez-vous sur votre compte, cliquez sur « {{int:mypreferences}} », puis cliquez sur l’onglet « {{int:prefs-personal}} » et cochez la case « {{int:allowemail}} ».

[[File:3 FRWP User Profile.png|500px|thumb|center|L’onglet « {{int:prefs-personal}} ».]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Pouvez-vous me donner un exemple de la façon dont vous utilisez le GPS et les autres technologies de localisation afin de me présenter des contenus plus pertinents ? ==

Bien sûr ! Si vous utilisez l’application mobile Wikipédia, vous pouvez vérifier s’il y a des articles sur les choses à voir où à faire près de là ou vous êtes en utilisant le bouton « {{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}} ». Votre appareil vous demandera l’autorisation d’identifier et d’utiliser votre localisation actuelle avant d’utiliser les informations associées. Si vous accédez à cette fonction sur votre ordinateur portable, votre ordinateur de bureau ou un appareil sans GPS, cette fonction utilisera les informations de votre navigateur pour vous localiser et trouver des articles sur les choses à voir ou à faire (comme des sculptures publiques ou des monuments célèbres) près de là où vous êtes.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Qu’entendez-vous par « déduire ma situation géographique » ? Et pourquoi avez-vous besoin de faire cela ? ==

Nous utilisons des produits téléchargés, tels que [//www.maxmind.com/en/city ''GeoIP City DB'' de MaxMind], qui nous permettent, en interne, de localiser approximativement nos utilisateurs. Et quand nous disons « approximativement », c’est exactement cela : ''GeoIP City DB'' calcule votre position au centre de la zone géographique la plus précise associée à votre adresse IP. Les seules zones géographiques associées possibles sont le code postal, la ville, la région ou le pays. Sauf si vous êtes habituellement situé au centre géographique de la zone la plus spécifique associée à votre adresse IP, il est peu probable que les données que nous récupérons soient suffisamment précises pour vous faire livrer un sandwich.

Nous procédons ainsi afin que vous puissiez recevoir les contenus régionaux pertinents tels qu’informations locales, annonces d’événements et campagnes de levée de fonds locales. Pour voir les informations que nous avons enregistrées pour votre adresse IP, vous pouvez charger notre [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup outil de recherche ''GeoIP''] à tout moment et en consulter les résultats.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Donnez-moi quelques exemples où j’aurais intérêt à vous autoriser à partager mes informations ? ==

Si vous recevez une bourse pour assister à [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], nous pourrons éventuellement vous demander l’autorisation de partager vos informations avec la branche locale accueillant Wikimania cette année-ci afin de pouvoir organiser votre voyage. Ou bien, si vous demandez une subvention ou bourse, nous pourrons éventuellement vous demander l’autorisation de partager vos informations avec les membres du [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Comité de répartition des fonds]] qui examinent votre demande de subvention ou bourse. Ou bien vous pouvez utiliser vos nom d’utilisateur et mot de passe Wikimédia pour vous connecter et envoyer des informations sur un site tiers, à l’aide de services tels que [//openid.net/ ''OpenID''] ou [//oauth.net/ ''OAuth''], auquel cas vos informations ne seront envoyées qu’au site tiers et avec votre permission explicite.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Dans quelles conditions pouvez-vous être amenés à communiquer des informations d’utilisateur aux fins d’enquête, de mesures exécutoires ou de protection à l’égard des sites et des politiques Wikimédia ? ==

Il est important pour nous de pouvoir nous assurer que tout le monde respecte les mêmes règles ; cela signifie parfois que nous devons examiner et communiquer les informations de certains utilisateurs spécifiques afin de vérifier que c’est bien le cas.

Par exemple, il est possible de partager des informations d’utilisateur lorsqu’un [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|administrateur ''CheckUser'']] enquête sur les abus affectant un Projet, en cas, par exemple, de suspicion de « faux-nez » malveillants (duplication de comptes), de vandalisme, de harcèlement d’autres utilisateurs ou de comportement perturbateur. Si un utilisateur s’avère en infraction avec nos [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Conditions d’utilisation]] ou toute autre politique applicable, les informations personnelles de l’utilisateur pourront être divulguées à un fournisseur de services, un opérateur réseau ou une autre tierce partie, afin de permettre le blocage ciblé d’adresses IP ou de déposer une plainte auprès du fournisseur de services Internet concerné.

Autre exemple : si nous sommes avisés qu’un utilisateur est à l’origine d’une alerte à la bombe, nous devrons déclarer aux autorités locales un certain nombre d’informations associées à cette menace et susceptibles de sauver des vies.

Nous pouvons aussi utiliser les informations personnelles pour d’autres buts charitables légitimes décrits dans notre Politique de confidentialité.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Pouvez-vous me donner quelques situations et exemples où vous seriez amenés à communiquer mes informations à des fournisseurs tiers ? ==

Bien sûr ! Les Sites Wikimédia dépendent de fournisseurs d’hébergement, d’opérateurs de réseaux de fibre optique, de centres de données et d’autres fournisseurs et prestataires de services. Nous avons un contrat avec ces prestataires de services et ils n’ont accès à vos données que dans le cadre des prestations effectuées pour nous et en conformité à cette politique. De même, nous pouvons être amenés à utiliser des fournisseurs tiers pour nous aider à gérer les informations que nous stockons ou utilisons, traiter les requêtes des utilisateurs, ou autres besoins opérationnels (comme des audits). Par exemple, nous pouvons être amenés à utiliser des systèmes tiers de gestion des subventions afin de stocker les informations des demandeurs de subvention et de rendre notre processus de demande plus simple et plus efficace ou bien nous pouvons être amenés à recourir à des fournisseurs tiers de services de messagerie électronique et de notification pour notre personnel et les utilisateurs.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Quelles informations sont révélées lorsque je clique un lien sur un site Wikimédia qui me conduit vers un site tiers ? ==

Lorsque vous cliquez un lien sur un site Wikimédia qui vous conduit à un site web externe, l’information du référent ne transmet que votre domaine d’origine, pas la page spécifique du site Wikimédia visité. Par exemple, si vous lisez un article sur Wikipédia et vous cliquez sur une citation qui vous dirige vers un article d’actualité situé sur un site tiers, l’information du référent ne contient que le nom de domaine Wikipédia, pas l’URL de l’article spécifique. Ce type de politique des référents est connu comme [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin « ''origin-when-cross-origin'' »].

Nous limitons l’information des référents de cette façon afin de protéger la vie privée des utilisateurs et éviter de révéler des informations sensibles sur les pages visualisées par les utilisateurs, tandis que nous permettons aux affiliés et partenaires du mouvement de collecter des informations agrégées sur le trafic reçu depuis les sites web gérés par Wikimédia. Pour ceux qui voudraient en savoir davantage et pourraient être intéressés d’avoir un plus grand contrôle des informations de référents, l’équipe Sécurité de la Fondation Wikimédia a préparé une [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page sur Méta-Wiki]] donnant de plus amples détails et des outils recommandés.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Quels sont les risques de ré-identification ? ==

Dans [[$netflixprizelink|quelques cas]] (n’impliquant pas les Sites Wikimédia, pour autant que nous le sachions !), des chercheurs indépendants ont été en mesure d’associer des informations non personnelles et agrégées émanant de différentes sources à des utilisateurs particuliers. Bien que nous essayions d’éviter cela en cherchant à désidentifier les informations personnelles avant de les partager à des fins de recherche, nous tenons à nous assurer que vous êtes conscient de ce risque.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== La Fondation Wikimédia utilise-t-elle HTTPS sur ses sites ? ==

Oui ! Nous avons mis en place des communications uniquement en protocole sécurité (HTTPS) sur tous les sites de Wikimédia depuis [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015].  Nous avons également mis en place plusieurs mesures liées afin de renforcer la sécurité de notre trafic au delà des standards minimums de l’industrie, y compris : le protocole [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], le [//hstspreload.org/ préchargement HSTS par le navigateur], l’[[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|agrafage OCSP]], et le chiffrement [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] des certificats de serveurs. Nous incluons des horodatages certifiés pour la [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|transparence des certificats]] et activons les meilleures options de chiffrements de leur catégorie, y compris [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] et [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. Également, nous [[phab:T147199|déprécions les chiffrements obsolètes]] avant qu’ils ne deviennent la prochaine urgence. Pour en savoir plus sur nos efforts, consultez notre [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|page d’état de mise en œuvre de HTTPS]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Combien de temps conservez-vous mes données ? Avez-vous quelques exemples ? ==

Cela dépend du type de données et de la façon dont elles ont été recueillies.

== Y a-t-il un organe communautaire chargé d’enquêter sur de prétendues violations de la vie privée ? ==

Nous avons mis en place un groupe d’utilisateurs expérimentés, dénommé la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Commission de médiation]], qui a autorité pour enquêter sur les violations et les prétendues violations de la présente Politique de confidentialité et qui nous fait des recommandations sur la façon de traiter une violation avérée ou prétendue.

== Il y a des informations obsolètes ou inexactes me concernant dans un article de Wikipédia ! Comment faire pour actualiser mes informations ? ==

La [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Politique de respect de la vie privée]] principale couvre l'information personnelle de nos utilisateurs. Cependant, si dans un article Wikipédia des informations vous concernant sont inexactes ou obsolètes, la meilleure façon de mettre à jour l'article est de suivre les politiques de contenus et procédures de la communauté. Vous pouvez placer un commentaire sur la page de discussion de l'article (en cliquant sur l'onglet &quot;Discussion&quot; en haut à gauche puis en éditant la page) pour faire part de toute question ou inquiétude pour les soumettre aux avis des autres éditeurs travaillant sur cet article. Si vous préférez ne pas placer de commentaire sur la page, vous pouvez obtenir de l'aide auprès de volontaires Wikimedia expérimentés par email à {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, ou à [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|l'adresse email correcte]] pour la langue qui convient. Les Projets Wikimédia sont rédigés collaborativement et fondés sur le consensus. Cela signifie que les informations des articles de Wikipédia sont rédigées, mises à jour et contrôlées par une communauté mondiale d’utilisateurs comme vous. La Fondation Wikimédia estime que la communauté devrait en général déterminer quels contenus font partie des projets, et encourage l'utilisation des procédures établies par la communauté pour résoudre les éventuels différends et inquiétudes.

== Que sont les signaux {{lang|en|''Do Not Track'' (''DNT'')}} et comment la Fondation Wikimédia y répond-t-elle ? ==

{{lang|en|''Do Not Track''}} (« Ne pas pister ») ou ''DNT'' désigne le mécanisme utilisé par votre navigateur pour indiquer au site web que vous visitez que vous ne désirez pas être pisté par des tiers  dont vous n’avez pas visité les sites web, tels que les services analytiques, les réseaux de diffusion publicitaire et les plateformes sociales. En utilisant ce mécanisme, un signal est envoyé par votre navigateur exprimant votre désir que vos informations personnelles, particulièrement vos activités en ligne et interactions sur le réseau, ne devraient pas être communiquées à des tiers. Lorsqu’elle reçoit le signal ''DNT'' envoyé par votre navigateur, la personne ou l’entité possédant le site web dispose de l’option de soit honorer, soit ignorer la demande sus-mentionnée.

La Fondation Wikimédia est fermement résolue à ne pas partager les informations personnelles que nous collectons de votre part (y compris vos activités en ligne et les interactions réseau avec les Sites Wikimédia) avec une quelconque tierce partie, sauf dans les situations spécifiques détaillées dans la section « [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Quand pourrions-nous partager vos informations ?]] » de notre Politique de confidentialité.

Du fait de cet engagement, nous protégeons chacun et ne modifierons pas notre comportement en réponse au signal ''DNT'' émis par un navigateur Internet.

Vous pouvez trouver davantage d’informations sur la technologie {{lang|en|''Do Not Track''}} et la proposition de politique sur le site [//donottrack.us/ {{lang|en|''Do Not Track Us''}}] (en anglais) et dans la [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ spécification {{lang|en|''Do Not Track''}} publiée (en anglais) par le ''World Wide Web Consortium'' (W3C)].

== Je pensais n’avoir jamais besoin d’un compte pour lire ou contribuer ! Dans quelles circonstances aurais-je besoin de m’inscrire pour lire ou contribuer ? ==

Vous n’avez jamais besoin d’un compte pour lire un Site Wikimédia public. Et dans la plupart des cas, vous n’avez pas besoin non plus d’un compte pour contribuer à un Site Wikimédia. Cependant, il y a de rares cas où vous aurez besoin d’un compte pour contribuer. Une communauté locale de rédacteurs ou contributeurs (par exemple la communauté de l’édition en anglais de Wikipédia ou celle de l’édition en malais du Wiktionnaire) ou la Fondation Wikimédia elle-même pourrait décider de placer une restriction temporaire ou permanente sur ce que vous pouvez changer. Par exemple une page spécifique peut être temporairement restreinte contre les modifications pour n’autoriser que les seuls utilisateurs expérimentés ou administrateurs à cause de problèmes de vandalisme ou de droit d’auteur. Vous pourriez aussi ne pas pouvoir téléverser du contenu tel que des images ou vidéos sans être préalablement connecté et identifié parce que nous avons besoin de vérifier que les autorisations appropriées ont été obtenues de la part de chaque titulaire de droits d’auteur (si le média n’est pas déjà dans le domaine public) afin de publier le contenu.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Pouvez-vous me donner quelques exemples des genres d’informations disponibles dans les journaux publics ? ==

Bien sûr ! Les journaux publics incluent les dates où vous avez créé votre compte, ou supprimé une page, ou lorsque vous avez remercié un autre utilisateur. Si vous souhaitez un exemple, vous pouvez naviguer parmi quelques-uns des journaux publics de ce wiki à [[[[Special:Log|Special:Log]]|Spécial:Journaux]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Puis-je supprimer ou anonymiser tout contenu que je poste sur tout site de Wikimédia, si je ne désire pas être personnellement identifié ? Si oui, comment ? ==

Les sites de Wikimédia utilisent des historiques publiquement disponibles pour construire un consensus, pour promouvoir la transparence parmi les contributeurs et rédacteurs et pour affirmer l’authenticité des contenus de nos sites. Par conséquent, dès que vous postez des informations sur les sites de Wikimédia, celles-ci sont publiques et vous ne serez probablement pas en mesure de les supprimer. Même si vous retirez vous-même certains contenus (par exemple d’un article de Wikipédia), ils resteront disponibles publiquement dans la section « voir l’historique » de l’article. Dans certaines circonstances, vous pouvez demander le retrait de la visibilité publique d’une page ou d’un fichier ou d’une partie de son historique (par exemple, si vous avez publié accidentellement une information personnelle à haut risque telle que votre numéro de carte de crédit). Veuillez noter que les décisions de suppression (c’est-a-dire la suppression d’un article entier) ne sont pas toujours réalisées de façon centralisée et peuvent parfois ne survenir qu’après une discussion publique au sein de la communauté Wikimédia (voyez la [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|politique de suppression]] de l’édition anglophone de Wikipédia pour plus de références). Cette procédure n’assure pas le retrait complet et exhaustif des contenus ou informations postées sur les sites de Wikimédia.

Vous pouvez également demander la suppression (ou la surveillance) afin de cacher des révisions, des noms d’utilisateurs dans les historiques et journaux de modifications, ou des portions d’entrées individuelles des journaux. La suppression est un processus sur le wiki lui-même qui s’applique a des cas d’utilisation spécifiques. Veuillez consulter la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|page de Méta-Wiki concernant la suppression]] pour plus d’informations et d’instructions.

Si vous êtes un utilisateur enregistré, nous vous encourageons à ne pas utiliser votre nom réel en tant que votre nom  d’utilisateur si vous ne souhaitez pas que d’autres découvrent une connexion entre ce que vous postez sur les sites de Wikimédia et votre identité réelle. Vous pouvez en savoir davantage sur la façon de choisir un nom d’utilisateur sur la page de [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|politique des noms d’utilisateurs]] de l’édition anglophone de Wikipédia. Veuillez noter que cette politique ne s’applique qu'à cette édition anglophone et que d’autres éditions de Wikipédia peuvent avoir des politiques différentes. Nous vous recommandons de vérifier la politique des noms d’utilisateurs sur le projet que vous comptez utiliser afin d’être sûr d’être en accord avec la pratique locale.

Si vous avez déjà inclus des informations personnellement identifiables (telles que votre nom réel) dans votre nom d’utilisateur et ne voulez pas être identifié personnellement dans vos contributions, nous vous encourageons à demander l’anonymisation des informations (au lieu d’amorcer le processus de retrait et suppression décrit ci-dessus) en demandant un changement de votre nom d’utilisateur. Pour plus d’informations sur la façon de changer votre nom d’utilisateur, consultez la [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|page Méta-Wiki concernant le changement de nom d’utilisateur]].

Le processus de désidentification ne peut pas garantir l’anonymisation complète et exhaustive de tous les contenus ou informations personnelles postés sur les sites de Wikimédia relatifs à votre précédent nom d’utilisateur. Si votre demande est accordée, le changement de nom ne se produira que dans les journaux générés automatiquement (tels que les historiques de pages) associés aux contenus que vous avez postés. Le changement de nom ne supprimera pas les mentions de votre ancien nom effectuées par des tiers. Par exemple si vous avez changé votre nom d’utilisateur de MichaelPaul en Owlwatcher345, le contenu auquel vous avez contribué sera attribué à Owlwatcher345, mais si un autre utilisateur vous a mentionné par le nom MichaelPaul  dans une page de discussion, MichaelPaul continuera à apparaître et non pas Owlwatcher345.

Veuillez vous référer à notre [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Politique de respect de la vie privée]] pour obtenir plus d’informations concernant vos choix relatifs à l'usage que faisons de vos informations personnelles et comment vous pouvez exercer ces choix.

[[&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;File:How does Wikipedia protect readers privacy – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm&lt;/span&gt;|frameless|400px]]

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Back to Privacy Policy&lt;/span&gt;]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Használ a Wikimédia Alapítvány HTTPS-t az oldalain? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== Que hai de novo nesta norma de protección de datos? Podo ver as versións anteriores? ==

Como moitas outras entidades, medramos e cambiamos moito ao longo dos anos, así que preparamos este anteproxecto de norma de protección de datos coa esperanza de que reflicta mellor non só a forma que temos de facer as cousas agora, senón tamén como contamos de facelo no futuro . Os nosos obxectivos ao redactarmos esta norma de privacidade eran que fose sinxela de ler e que fose transparente polo que respecta á forma que temos de recoller e usar a información para entender de xeito máis completo e mellorar os proxectos da Wikimedia para ti.

Se tes interese en ler calquera das versións anteriores destas normas de protección de datos, témolas gardadas para que poidas consultalas e revisalas. E dado que gardamos as normas de protección de datos nun wiki, podes empregar [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} o histórico de versións da páxina] para comparar revisións! As versións que supuxeron modificacións máis intensas foron as de [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] e [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Que é unha &quot;conta estándar&quot; comparada ca &quot;conta non estándar&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Unha conta estándar é aquela que podes rexistrar para navegar e editar nos principais proxectos da Wikimedia, como Wikipedia ou Wikimedia Commons. Normalmente, só tes que dar un nome de usuario e un contrasinal para teres a túa conta rexistrada. Con todo, se creas unha conta estándar mediante unha utilidade creada por terceiros, pode ser que che pidan achegar máis información, como por exemplo un correo electrónico. Unha conta non-estándar é unha coa que podes rexistrarte para participar no movemento Wikimedia dun xeito máis intenso, ademais de ler ou de contribuír a un dos nosos proxectos principais, como Wikipedia. 
&lt;/br&gt;
Por exemplo, se rexistras a conta en webs que non sexan wikis, such as [$phabricatorlink Phabricator], [$gerritlink Gerrit], ou [[$otrslink|OTRS]] ou traballas nunha iniciativa especial, como a Educación Global, pode ser que che manden rexistrarte para participar, e pode ser tamén que ese rexistro leve aparellado que deas datos persoais adicionais (ademais dos xa mencionados nome de usuario e contrasinal), como por exemplo un enderezo de correo electrónico.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Como podo enviar correos electrónicos dentro dos proxectos da Wikimedia e como fago para mudar a frecuencia dos avisos que me chegan? ==

Podes mudar o xeito de recibires avisos destes xeitos:

: (a) ao clicar na ligazón que vén despois de &quot;Para decidir que correos che enviamos, revisa as túas preferencias&quot;, na parte inferior de todos os correos electrónicos de aviso que che enviamos, como se pode ver a continuación, ou
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) ao entrar na túa conta, clica en &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; no recanto superior dereito da pantalla, e logo clica en  &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1_ENWP_Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|A lapela &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2_ENWP_Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|A lapela &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

Tamén tes a posibilidade de activar a funcionalidade de &quot;Envía un correo electrónico a este usuario/a&quot;, que che permite que outros usuarios che envíen correos directamente, premendo en &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; no menú Ferramentas da túa páxina de usuario. Se activas esta funcionalidade, o teu enderezo de correo electrónico non se lle amosa aos outros usuarios cando se poñan en contacto contigo (aínda que sexa para responder unha mensaxe). Se activas esta funcionalidade, calquera usuario pode enviarche correos electrónicos e non podemos controlar que che manda ou con canta frecuencia chos manda. Podes activar a funcionalidade así:

: Entra na conta, fai clic en &quot;Preferencias&quot;, despois preme en &quot;Perfil do usuario&quot; e marca a cela &quot;Activar correo electrónico doutros usuarios.&quot;

== Podédesme dar un exemplo de como empregades GPS e outras tecnoloxías de localización para mostrarme contidos máis relevantes para min? ==

Abofé! Se estás a usar a aplicación móbil de Wikipedia móbil, podes descubrir se hai artigos sobre lugares e cousas preto de ti se usas o botón &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot;. O dispositivo pode que che pida permiso para identificar e utilizar información sobre a túa posición xusto antes de usala. Se empregas esta funcionalidade co portátil, cun computador de escritorio ou cun dispositivo que non teña GPS, esta funcionalidade empregará a información do teu navegador para facerse unha idea de onde estás e atopar artigos sobre lugares e cousas (como esculturas públicas ou edificios famosos) preto de ti.

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Que queredes dicir con &quot;deducir a miña localización xeográfica&quot;? E para que tedes que facelo? ==

Empregamos algunhas apliacións descargadas da rede, como [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind’s GeoIP City DB], que nos permiten determinar internamente a localización aproximada dos nosos usuarios. E cando dicimos &quot;aproximada&quot;, dicímolo en serio: GeoIP Cidade DB sitúa a túa posición no centro da zona máis pequena dos datos asociados á túa IP. As únicas opcións de datos asociados a unha zona son código postal, cidade, rexión ou país. A menos de que normalmente esteas no medio e medio, xeograficamente falando, da zona máis pequena ligada ao teu enderezo IP (por exemplo, no centro do teu distrito postal), cos datos que recibimos vai ser moi, moi difícil que che poidamos mandar un cacho de empanada para a merenda.

Facemos isto para que che poidamos ofrecer contido local axeitado a ti, como avisos da túa zona, anuncios de eventos ou campañas locais de colecta de fondos. Para ver a información que temos gardada asociada ao teu enderezo IP, podes executar a nosa [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup ferramenta de busca GeoIP] cando che pete e comprobar qué che sae.

== Podes indicarme algúns exemplos de situacións en que eu vos dea permiso para divulgardes os meus datos persoais? ==

Se che damos unha bolsa para asistir á Wikimanía, pode ser que che pidamos permiso para compartir datos teus co grupo local que organiza Wikimanía ese ano para organizarmos a viaxe. Ou se solicitas unha axuda económica, pode ser que che pidamos permiso para compartir información cos membros do [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee |Comité de Reparto de Fondos]] para tramitar e valorar a túa solicitude. Ou quizais queiras usar o nome de usuario e o contrasinal da Wikimedia para rexistrarte e enviarlle información a unha web de terceiros, por exemplo mediante [//openid.net/ OpenID] ou [//oauth.net/ OAuth], e nese caso os teus datos só se lle enviarán a eses terceiros coa túa autorización explícita.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== En que casos podedes usar ou divulgar información das persoas usuarias, como iso que sinalades de investigar, facer que se cumpran as normas ou defender os webs e as regras da Wikimedia? ==

Para nós é importante garantir que todo o mundo xoga coas mesmas regras, e ás veces iso significa que temos que investigar e compartir información específica dos usuarios para asegurar que así é.

Por exemplo, quizais divulguemos información dunha persoa usuaria cando un [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy | verificador de usuarios]] está a investigar abusos nun proxecto, como a sospeita de que se están a empregar ''usuarios monicreques'' (contas duplicadas) para facer mal, ou que se está vandalizando contido, que se está a acosar a outros usuarios ou que se está a enredar e facer mal porque si. Se chegamos á conclusión de que un usuario está a infrinxir as nosas [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use | condicións de uso]] ou outras normas, pode que lles pasemos os datos persoais das persoas usuarias a un provedor de servizos, a unha operadora de telefonía, ou outra entidade externa, para que nos axuden no bloqueo de determinados IPs ou para presentar unha reclamación perante a provedora de servizos de internet (ISP) correspondente.

Outro exemplo: se nos avisan de que un usuario publicou unha ameaza de bomba, quizais teñamos que comunicar algúns datos relacionados con esta ameaza de bomba para que as autoridades locais poidan salvar vidas.

Tamén pode que usemos datos persoais para outros lexítimos fins, non lucrativos, recollidos na norma de protección de datos.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Podedes mencionar algúns tipos de situacións e exemplos de cando divulgariades os meus datos con provedoras externas? ==

Claro que si! Por exemplo, os proxectos da Wikimedia necesitan empresas que fornecen aloxamento, rede de fibra óptica, centros de datos e outras provedoras de servizos e empresas contratadas. Estas relacións cos provedores réxense por contratos, e conforme eles estas empresas só teñen acceso aos teus datos para realizar servizos para nós de acordo con esta norma de protección de datos. Noutras veces podemos utilizar provedores externos para que nos boten unha man a xestionar os datos que gardamos, ou os que usamos, para responder ás solicitudes que nos fan as persoas usuarias, ou para resolver algunhas outras necesidades operacionais, como auditorías. Por exemplo, podemos empregar sistemas externos de xestión de bolsas para gardar a información das persoas que as solicitan, e que así o proceso de solicitude e adxudicación sexa máis simple e máis eficiente, ou podemos utilizar provedoras externas para servizos de correo electrónico e mensaxería, para o noso persoal e mais as persoas usuarias.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Que información queda á vista cando clico nunha ligazón nun dos webs da Wikimedia, e acabo nun web de terceiros? ==

Cando nunha web da Wikimedia clicas nunha ligazón que te leva a unha web externa, só lle transmites o dominio de orixe (non a páxina específica da Wikimedia que estás a visitar) a ese web externo. Por exemplo, se estás a ler un artigo na Wikipedia e clicas nunha ligazón que te leva a unha nova publicada nunha web externa, a información que sae da Wikimedia contén unicamente o dominio da Wikipedia, non a URL do artigo en concreto. Este tipo de política de transmisión chámase [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;orixe se orixe cruzada&quot;].

Limitamos deste xeito a información que se envía  para protexer a privacidade da persoa usuaria, e tamén para evitar que se revele información sensible sobre as páxinas que consultan as persoas usuarias, mais ao mesmo tempo permitímoslles ás entidades vinculadas ao movemento e aos nosos socios recoller información agrupada sobre o tráfico que reciben procedente dos webs operados pola Wikimedia. Para aqueles a quen lles gustaría saber máis, e quererían ter un maior control sobre a información que se envía nas ligazóns, o equipo de seguranza da Fundación Wikimedia preparou unha [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|páxina en Meta]] que inclúe máis detalles e algunhas ferramentas recomendadas.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Que é o risco de re-identificación? ==

Nalgunhas ocasións (que non afectan os proxectos de Wikimedia, ata onde sabemos) algúns investigadores independentes foron quen de vincular información non persoal e datos agregados procedentes de fontes distintas con algúns usuarios específicos. Aínda que tentamos evitar isto desidentificando datos persoais antes de compartila con fins científicos e de investigación, tamén queremos estar seguros de que ti es consciente do risco de que ocorra.

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== A Fundación Wikimedia emprega HTTPS nos seus webs? ==

Si! Levamos implementando comunicacións só HTTPS en todos os webs da Wikimedia desde [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. Tamén implementamos algunhas medidas relacionadas con esa para protexer o noso tráfico alén dos estándares mínimos da industria. Entre elas están [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ precarga HSTS no navegador], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|grampado de OCSP ]], e [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|certificados ECDSA de servidor]]. Integramos marcas de data asinadas e certificadas para [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|asegurar a transparencia]], e habilitamos as mellores opcións de cifraxe do momento, incluídas [[$Curva25519|X25519]] e [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. Tamén [[phab:T147199|abandonamos cifraxes desactualizadas]] antes de que se convirtan no próximo incendio que teñamos que apagar.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Podedes darme algunha cifra de durante canto tempo gardades os meus datos? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Depende do tipo de datos e de como os apañemos. Por exemplo, a información que se pode consultar coa [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy | ferramenta de verificación de usuarios]] bórrase aos tres meses. Outros datos, como os enderezos IP ligados a contribucións de usuarios non rexistrados son visibles no arquivo histórico das versións dun artigo para sempre. Podes aprender máis sobre durante canto tempo gardamos os distintos tipos de datos nos nosos [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|guieiros para a conservación de datos]].

== Hai un grupo dentro da comunidade que se encargue de investigar supostas infraccións de protección de datos? ==

Un grupo de usuarios experimentados que denominamos a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Comisión de mediación]] ten o poder e a autoridade de investigar infraccións e supostas infraccións desta norma de protección de datos, e de facernos recomendacións sobre como actuar en caso de infracción (ou suposta infracción).

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== Na Wikipedia dise algo sobre min que está desactualizado ou que non é correcto! Como podo actualizalo? ==

A [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|norma principal de protección de datos]] protexe os datos persoais dos nosos usuarios. Con todo, se hai  información desactualizada ou imprecisa sobre ti nun artigo de Wikipedia, o xeito mellor de conseguir que o artigo se actualice é seguindo as normas e procedementos coas que a comunidade de usuarios xestiona os contidos. Podes comentar na páxina de conversa do artigo (premendo &quot;conversa&quot; no recanto superior esquerdo e editando a páxina) para sinalar elementos ou temas que deberían ser revisados por outros editores que traballen nese artigo. Se prefires non comentar na páxina, podes pedirlles axuda a voluntarios expertos en Wikimedia mandándolles un correo {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, ou no [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|enderezo de correo electrónico axeitado]] da lingua da que se trate. Os webs da Wikimedia escríbense en mancomún e réxense polo consenso. Iso significa que a información dos artigos da Wikipedia escríbese, actualízase e vixíana unha comunidade global de usuarios coma ti. A Fundación Wikimedia cre que a comunidade en concreto é a que xeralmente ten que determinar que contidos deben ou non deben estar nos webs, e animamos a que as posibles disputas ou aspectos controvertidos se diriman mediante os procedementos comunitarios establecidos.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Que son os marcadores de &quot;Non me rastrexes&quot; (&quot;DNT&quot;) e como actúa a Fundación Wikimedia con eles? ==

Os marcadores de &quot;Non me rastrexes&quot; (DNT) é un método que ten o teu navegador de dicirlles aos webs que visitas que non queres que che rastrexen terceiros cuxas webs non visitas, como servizos de análise estatística, plataformas de publicidade e redes sociais. Cando usas este método, o teu navegador envía un sinal que di que non queres que os teus datos persoais, especialmente aqueles sobre as túas actividades online e sobre as interaccións que realizas con determinadas redes, se lles pasen a terceiros. Cando a persoa ou a entidade que posúe o web recibe a mensaxe de &quot;non me rastrexes&quot; que lle envía o teu navegador, pode facerlle caso ou pasar da solicitude.

A Fundación Wikimedia ten un compromiso forte con non divulgarlles a terceiros os datos persoais que recibimos de ti (incluídos o que fas en internet e as redes coas que interactúas cos webs da Wikimedia), agás nas circunstancias concretas que se enumeran na sección  &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Cando pode ser que divulguemos os teus datos]]&quot; da nosa norma de protección de datos.

Grazas a este compromiso que adquirimos protexemos do mesmo xeito os datos persoais para todas as usuarias, e non mudamos a nosa forma de facer as cousas por moito que recibamos dun navegador unha mensaxe de &quot;non me rastrexes&quot;.

Podes aprender máis sobre a tecnoloxía de &quot;non me rastrexes&quot; e a proposta normativa en [//donottrack.us/ Non nos rastrexes] e mais na [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ especificación &quot;non me rastrexes&quot; do Consorcio World Wide Web].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== Pensaba que non me cumpría ter conta para ler ou contribuír aos proxectos? Cando necesito rexistrarme para facelo? ==

Nunca necesitarás ter unha conta para ler un web da Wikimedia. E na maior parte dos casos, non  necesitas ter unha conta para facer contribucións neles. Porén, existen unha serie de circunstancias, bastante infrecuentes, en que necesitarás rexistrarte se queres facer contribucións. Unha comunidade local de editores (por exemplo, a comunidade da Wikipedia en inglés ou a do Wikicionario en malaio), ou a propia Fundación poden decidir restrinxir de xeito temporal ou permanente o que podes editar. Por exemplo, unha páxina en concreto pode ter as edicións restrinxidas para que só os usuarios experimentados ou os que teñan o rol de administradores poidan facelo, porque existe un risco notable de ataques vandálicos ou problemas de propiedade intelectual. Quizais, por exemplo, tampouco poidas publicar imaxes ou vídeos sen estares rexistrado, porque necesitamos verificar que quen é o dono dos dereitos de uso sobre ese material chos cedeu antes de publicalos ti (agás que sexa un material que estea xa no dominio público, claro).

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Podes darme algún exemplo dos tipos de información que están dispoñibles nos rexistros de acceso públicos? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Claro! Cando falamos de rexistros públicos estámonos a referir, por exemplo, a cando creaches a conta, cando borrahges unha páxina ou cando lle agradeciches a outra persoa usuaria a súa contribución. Se queres ver algúns exemplos, podes botarlle un ollo aos rexistros públicos deste wiki en [[Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Podo borrar e/ou anonimizar algún dos contidos que poña nun proxecto de Wikimedia, se non quero que me identifiquen persoalmente? E se podo, como o fago? ==

Os webs da Wikimedia usan históricos de revisións, completamente públicos, para construír consenso, promover a transparencia entre os seus contribuíntes e editores, e sinalar a autenticidade dos contidos dos nosos webs. Xa que logo, cando publicas información nos webs da Wikimedia esta pasa a ser pública e probablemente non poderás borrala de novo. Mesmo se borras algúns contidos (poñamos que dun artigo da Wikipedia), seguirá estando dispoñíbel na sección do histórico de revisións do artigo. En determinadas circunstancias, quizais poidas pedir que che borren unha páxina ou un ficheiro, ou un cacho dunha páxina, do histórico de versións da páxina ou do ficheiro para que deixe de ser visible para todo o mundo (por exemplo, se por erro publicas algunha información moi sensible, como o número da túa tarxeta de crédito). Ten en conta que as decisións de borrado (por exemplo, o borrado dun artigo enteiro) non sempre se fan de maneira centralizada, e ás veces veñen logo dunha discusión pública no seo da comunidade wikipédica (consulta por exemplo [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|as normas de borrado]] na Wikipedia en inglés para saber máis). Este procedemento non che asegura que che borrarán todo, nin sequera unha parte substancial, do contido ou da información que publicaches nos webs da Wikimedia.

Tamén podes solicitar a supresión (tamén coñecido na wiki polo termo inglés de ''oversight'') para agochar versións dun artigo, nomes de usuario nos rexistros e nos históricos de edicións, ou cachos de rexistros de acceso individuais. A supresión é un proceso específico dos wikis que se emprega en circunstancias moi concretas. Por favor, consulta  [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|a páxina en Meta sobre a supresión]] para máis información e para as instrucións de como solicitala.

Se vas rexistrar unha conta, suxerímosche que non empregues o teu nome verdadeiro como nome de usuario se non queres que os demais relacionen o que publicas nos webs da Wikimedia co teu nome real. Podes aprender máis sobre elixir un bo nome de usuario na  [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|norma de nomes de usuario]] da Wikipedia en inglés. Por favor, leva conta de que esta norma sobre nomes de usuario só é operativa na Wikipedia en inglés, e que as diferentes wikipedias, como a Galipedia, teñen normas diferentes. Recomendámosche que comprobes a norma sobre nomes de usuario no proxecto onde pretendes traballar para estar certo de que fas todo ben con arranxo á forma particular de facer as cousas que teñen nese proxecto.

Se xa incluíches no nome de usuario información que te identifica persoalmente (coma o teu nome real) e non queres que se che relacione persoalmente coas contribucións que fas, suxerímosche que solicites unha anonimización da información (no canto dos procedementos de borrado ou supresión dos que falamos antes) pedindo un cambio do teu nome de usuario. Se queres ter algo de información sobre como mudar de nome de usuario, consulta [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|a páxina en Meta sobre a modificación dos nomes de usuario]].

O proceso de des-identificación non garante unha anonimización total ou substancial de todo o contido ou dos datos persoais que publicaches nos webs da Wikimedia en relación co teu nome de usuario anterior. Se che aceptan a solicitude o cambio de nome farase nos rexistros que se xeran automaticamente, como nos históricos de versións dunha páxina, en relación co contido que publicaches. O cambio de nome non fai desaparecer as mencións que che fixeron terceiros ao teu nome anterior. Por exemplo, se mudaches o nome de usuario de UxiaBaldomera a Ollacuruxas345, o contido que ti publicaches figurará como publicado por Ollacuruxas345, pero se outra persoa usuaria te mencionou baixo o nome de UxiaBaldomera nunha páxina de conversa, UxiaBaldomera seguirá a figurar nela, e non Ollacuruxas345.

Por favor, consulta a nosa [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|norma sobre protección de datos]] para máis información sobre as opcións que tes para usares os datos persoais e como podes aproveitar esas opcións.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==


Pode mudar que notificações recebe das seguintes maneiras:

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.
&lt;/div&gt;

[[&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;File:How does Wikipedia protect readers privacy – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm&lt;/span&gt;|frameless|400px]]

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;O que há de diferente nessa política de privacidade? Posso ver versões mais antigas?&lt;/span&gt; ==

Como muitas organizações, crescemos e mudamos ao longo dos anos, e elaboramos nossa Política de Privacidade na esperança de que ela reflita melhor não apenas nossas práticas atuais, mas também onde esperamos ir no futuro. Nossos objetivos eram tornar a nossa Política de Privacidade fácil de ler e transparente sobre a maneira como coletamos informações e a usamos para melhor entender e melhorar os Sites da Wikimedia para você.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Se você está interessado em ler qualquer uma das nossas Políticas de Privacidade passadas, mantemos as versões anteriores de nossas Políticas de Privacidade acessíveis e nos arquivos para sua revisão. Como mantemos nossa Política de Privacidade em um wiki, você pode usar a [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} história da página] para comparar as revisões! Aqueles com grandes revisões são de [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] e [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;O que é uma &quot;conta padrão&quot; versus uma &quot;conta não padrão&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|Voltar à Política de Privacidade]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Você pode me dar alguns exemplos de tipos de cookies e como você usa o armazenamento local? ==

Certo! Os cookies (e a tecnologia de armazenamento do amamentamento local relacionada) utilizados pelos sites do Wikimedia geralmente se enquadram nas seguintes categorias:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Funcionalidade: esses cookies ajudam o trabalho dos sites da Wikimedia, incluindo recursos essenciais, como fazer logon.&lt;/span&gt;
* Preferências: estes cookies armazenam suas preferências, para que possam ser lembrados na próxima vez que você usar o site.
* Desempenho e análise: esses cookies coletam informações sobre como você usa nosso site, para que possamos entender melhor o funcionamento do site e aprimorá-lo para você e outros usuários.
* Terceiros: esses cookies nos permitem prestar serviços prestados por terceiros, como botões &quot;curtir&quot; e &quot;compartilhar&quot;. Quando um terceiro fornece esses tipos de serviços, eles podem exigir o uso de um cookie para fornecer seus serviços. (Estes só seriam utilizados com seu consentimento afirmativo).

Para mais informações, por favor visite nossa [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|declaração de cookie]].

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Quais são algumas das opções que tenho para limitar o uso de dados armazenados localmente no meu dispositivo? ==

Embora esta não seja uma lista abrangente, aqui estão algumas das coisas que você pode fazer para limitar o uso de dados armazenados localmente em seu dispositivo. Você pode:

* remover ou desativar dados armazenados localmente específicos nas configurações do seu navegador;
* use um navegador que possa bloquear cookies de terceiros; ou
* instale um plug-in para bloquear dados armazenados localmente, se houver um disponível.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Como faço para enviar emails nos sites do Wikimedia e como altero as notificações que recebo? ==


Pode mudar que notificações recebe das seguintes maneiras:

: (a) Clicando no link após &quot;Para controlar quais e-mails nós enviamos a você, verifique suas preferências&quot; na parte inferior de qualquer e-mail de notificação que lhe enviarmos como visto abaixo; ou
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) Faça login na sua conta e clique em &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; no canto superior direito da tela e clique em &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|A aba &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|A aba &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Você pode me dar um exemplo de como você usa o GPS e outras tecnologias de localização para me mostrar um conteúdo mais relevante? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== O que você quer dizer com &quot;inferir minha localização geográfica&quot;? E por que você precisa fazer isso? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Quais são alguns exemplos de quando eu gostaria que dessem para mim permisão para enviar as minhas imformacõis ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Quais são algumas maneiras pelas quais você pode compartilhar informações do usuário para investigar, reforçar ou defender os sites e políticas do Wikimedia? ==

É importante para nós podermos garantir que todas as pessoas joguem com as mesmas regras e, às vezes, isso significa que precisamos investigar e compartilhar informações de usuários específicos para garantir que elas sejam.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

Como outro exemplo, se nos avisar de que um usuário criou uma ameaça de bomba, talvez devêssemos reportar algumas informações relacionadas a essa ameaça às autoridades locais para salvar vidas.

Também podemos usar informações pessoais para outros fins de caridade legítimos descritos em nossa política de privacidade.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Você pode me dar alguns exemplos de quando você compartilharia minhas informações com provedores de terceiros?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Claro! Por exemplo, os Sites da Wikimedia dependem de provedores de hospedagem, provedores de rede de fibra óptica, data centers e outros provedores de serviços e contratados. Temos um contrato com esses provedores de serviços, e eles só têm acesso a dados para seus dados para realizar serviços para nós consistentes com esta política. Outras vezes, podemos usar provedores de terceiros para nos ajudar a gerenciar as informações que armazenamos ou usamos. Por exemplo, podemos usar sistemas de gerenciamento de subsídios de terceiros para manter as informações do requerente de concessão e tornar nosso processo de inscrição mais simples e eficiente, ou podemos usar provedores de terceiros para serviços de e-mail para funcionários.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Quais informações são reveladas quando clico em um link em um site da Wikimedia que me leva a um site externo de terceiros? ==

Quando você clica em um link em um site da Wikimedia que o envia para um site externo, as informações do referenciador transmitem apenas a origem do seu domínio, não a página específica da Wikimedia visitada, para esse destino de terceiros. Por exemplo, se você estiver lendo um artigo na Wikipédia e clicar em uma citação que o direcione para um artigo de notícias em um site externo, as informações do referenciador conterão apenas o domínio da Wikipédia, não o URL do artigo específico. Esse tipo de política de referenciador é conhecido como [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origem-quando-cruzada&quot;].

Limitamos as informações de referência dessa forma para proteger a privacidade do usuário e evitamos revelar informações confidenciais sobre as páginas visualizadas pelos usuários, enquanto permitimos que afiliados e parceiros de movimento coletem informações agregadas sobre o tráfego recebido de sites operados pela Wikimedia. Para aqueles que gostariam de saber mais, e podem estar interessados em ter maior controle sobre as informações do referenciador, a equipe de Segurança da Wikimedia Foundation preparou uma [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|página no Meta]] com mais detalhes e ferramentas recomendadas.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Qual é o risco de re-identificação? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Em [[$netflixprizelink|algumas instâncias]] (não envolvendo os sites da Wikimedia, até onde sabemos!), pesquisadores independentes conseguiram vincular informações não pessoais e agregadas de diferentes fontes a usuários específicos. Embora tentemos evitar isso procurando anonimizar as informações antes de compartilhá-las para fins de pesquisa, queremos que você esteja ciente desse risco.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Eu posso me conectar nos sites da Fundação Wikimedia com HTTPS? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Quais são alguns exemplos de quanto tempo você guarda meus dados? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Existe um órgão comunitário encarregado de investigar as alegadas violações da privacidade? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Há informações desatualizadas ou imprecisas sobre mim em um artigo da Wikipédia. Como faço para atualizar minhas informações?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Os Projetos Wikimedia são escritos em colaboração e conduzidos por consenso. Isso significa que a informação em artigos da Wikipedia é escrita, atualizada e policiada por uma comunidade global de usuários como você. Se você é o assunto de um artigo da Wikipedia ou é mencionado em uma página de discussão e acredita que contém informações imprecisas ou desatualizadas sobre você, você deve seguir as políticas e procedimentos de conteúdo da comunidade de usuários para abordá-los. Você pode obter ajuda com isso enviando um e-mail com {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}. A Fundação Wikimedia não &quot;se envolve em disputas de conteúdo e acredita que trabalhar com a comunidade é a melhor maneira de resolver possíveis conflitos.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Quais são os sinais Não rastreie (&quot;DNT&quot;) e como a Wikimedia Foundation responde a eles? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
&quot;Não acompanhar&quot; ou &quot;DNT&quot; é uma maneira para o seu navegador web informar ao site que você está visitando que não quer ser rastreado por terceiros cujos sites você não visitou, como serviços analíticos, redes publicitárias e plataformas sociais. Ao usar este mecanismo, o seu navegador envia um sinal, expressando sua vontade de que suas informações pessoais, particularmente sobre suas atividades on-line e interações de rede, não sejam transmitidas a terceiros. Ao receber um sinal DNT enviado pelo seu navegador, a pessoa ou entidade que possui o site tem a opção de honrar ou ignorar a solicitação acima mencionada.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
A Fundação Wikimedia está fortemente comprometida em não compartilhar as informações que coletamos de você (incluindo suas atividades on-line e interações de rede com os sites da Wikimedia) com quaisquer terceiros, exceto sob as situações específicas detalhadas na seção  “[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Quando podemos compartilhar suas informações]]” da nossa politica de privacidade .
&lt;/div&gt;

Devido a esse compromisso, protegemos todos e não alteramos nosso comportamento em resposta ao sinal DNT de um navegador da web.

Você pode encontrar mais informações sobre a tecnologia e a proposta de políticas &quot;Não rastrear&quot; em [//donottrack.us/ Não nos acompanhe], e o  [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ Não rastrear especificação do World Wide Web Consortiumn].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== Eu pensei que nunca precisei de uma conta para ler ou contribuir! Em que circunstâncias eu precisaria me registrar para ler ou contribuir? ==

Você nunca precisa de uma conta para ler um site público da Wikimedia. E na maioria dos casos, você não precisa de uma conta para contribuir com um site da Wikimedia. No entanto, existem alguns casos raros em que você precisará registrar uma conta se quiser contribuir. Uma comunidade local de editores ou colaboradores (por exemplo, a comunidade da Wikipédia em inglês ou a comunidade de Wikcionário Malaio) ou a própria Wikimedia Foundation pode decidir colocar restrições temporárias ou permanentes sobre o que você pode mudar. Por exemplo, uma página específica pode ser temporariamente impedida de editar para permitir apenas usuários experientes ou administrativos devido a vandalismo ou preocupações com direitos autorais. Você também não pode enviar conteúdo, como imagens ou vídeos, sem estar logado, porque precisamos verificar se as permissões apropriadas foram obtidas do detentor dos direitos autorais (se a mídia ainda não estiver em domínio público) para publicar o conteúdo.

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== podem dar-me alguns exemplos maiores das imformacõis e avaliacõis ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Certo! Os registros públicos podem incluir quando sua conta foi criada, quando você excluiu uma página ou quando você agradeceu a outro usuário. Se você gostaria de um exemplo, você também pode navegar através de alguns dos registro públicos para essa wiki em [[Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Posso apagar e/ou anonimizar qualquer conteúdo que eu publicar em qualquer site da Wikimedia, se eu não quiser ser pessoalmente identificado? Se sim, como? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

Se você é um usuário registrado, nós encorajamos você a não usar seu nome verdadeiro como seu nome de usuário se você não quiser que outros tenham uma conexão entre o que você postar nos Sites da Wikimedia e seu nome real. Você pode aprender mais sobre como escolher seu nome de usuário na Wikipédia em inglês na [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|política de nome de usuário]]. Observe que esta política de nome de usuário é aplicável apenas à Wikipédia em inglês, e diferentes Wikipédias têm políticas diferentes. Recomendamos verificar a política de nome de usuário no projeto que você pretende usar para ter certeza de que está em conformidade com a prática local.

Se você já incluiu informações de identificação pessoal (como seu nome real) em seu nome de usuário e não deseja ser identificado pessoalmente com suas contribuições, recomendamos que você solicite a sinonimização das informações (em vez de continuar com os processos de remoção e supressão descrito acima) solicitando uma alteração do seu nome de usuário. Para obter informações sobre como alterar seu nome de usuário, consulte [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|a página como alterar nome de usuário no Meta-Wiki]].

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
O processo de anonimização não pode garantir a anonimização completa ou abrangente de todo o conteúdo ou informações publicadas nos sites da Wikimedia relacionados ao seu nome de usuário anterior. Se a sua solicitação for concedida, a alteração do nome ocorrerá somente em registros gerados automaticamente (como históricos de páginas) associados ao conteúdo que você publicou. A alteração do nome não excluirá as menções do seu nome de usuário anterior por terceiros. Por exemplo, se você alterou seu nome de usuário de MichaelPaul para Owlwatcher345, o conteúdo que você contribuiu será atribuído a Owlwatcher345, mas se outro usuário mencionou você pelo nome MichaelPaul em uma página de discussão, MichaelPaul continuará a aparecer em vez de Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

Por favor, consulte o nossa [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|política de privacidade]] para obter mais informações sobre suas opções com relação ao uso de suas Informações Pessoais e como você pode exercer essas opções.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;O que há de diferente nessa política de privacidade? Posso ver versões mais antigas?&lt;/span&gt; ==

Como muitas organizações, crescemos e mudamos ao longo dos anos, e elaboramos nossa Política de Privacidade na esperança de que ela reflita melhor não apenas nossas práticas atuais, mas também onde esperamos ir no futuro. Nossos objetivos eram tornar a nossa Política de Privacidade fácil de ler e transparente sobre a maneira como coletamos informações e a usamos para melhor entender e melhorar os Sites da Wikimedia para você.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Se você está interessado em ler qualquer uma das nossas Políticas de Privacidade passadas, mantemos as versões anteriores de nossas Políticas de Privacidade acessíveis e nos arquivos para sua revisão. Como mantemos nossa Política de Privacidade em um wiki, você pode usar a [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} história da página] para comparar as revisões! Aqueles com grandes revisões são de [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] e [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;O que é uma &quot;conta padrão&quot; versus uma &quot;conta não padrão&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|Voltar à Política de Privacidade]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Você pode me dar alguns exemplos de tipos de cookies e como você usa o armazenamento local? ==

Certo! Os cookies (e a tecnologia de armazenamento do amamentamento local relacionada) utilizados pelos sites do Wikimedia geralmente se enquadram nas seguintes categorias:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Funcionalidade: esses cookies ajudam o trabalho dos sites da Wikimedia, incluindo recursos essenciais, como fazer logon.&lt;/span&gt;
* Preferências: estes cookies armazenam suas preferências, para que possam ser lembrados na próxima vez que você usar o site.
* Desempenho e análise: esses cookies coletam informações sobre como você usa nosso site, para que possamos entender melhor o funcionamento do site e aprimorá-lo para você e outros usuários.
* Terceiros: esses cookies nos permitem prestar serviços prestados por terceiros, como botões &quot;curtir&quot; e &quot;compartilhar&quot;. Quando um terceiro fornece esses tipos de serviços, eles podem exigir o uso de um cookie para fornecer seus serviços. (Estes só seriam utilizados com seu consentimento afirmativo).

Para mais informações, por favor visite nossa [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|declaração de cookie]].

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Quais são algumas das opções que tenho para limitar o uso de dados armazenados localmente no meu dispositivo? ==

Embora esta não seja uma lista abrangente, aqui estão algumas das coisas que você pode fazer para limitar o uso de dados armazenados localmente em seu dispositivo. Você pode:

* remover ou desativar dados armazenados localmente específicos nas configurações do seu navegador;
* use um navegador que possa bloquear cookies de terceiros; ou
* instale um plug-in para bloquear dados armazenados localmente, se houver um disponível.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Como faço para enviar emails nos sites do Wikimedia e como altero as notificações que recebo? ==


Pode mudar que notificações recebe das seguintes maneiras:

: (a) Clicando no link após &quot;Para controlar quais e-mails nós enviamos a você, verifique suas preferências&quot; na parte inferior de qualquer e-mail de notificação que lhe enviarmos como visto abaixo; ou
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) Faça login na sua conta e clique em &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; no canto superior direito da tela e clique em &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|A aba &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|A aba &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Você pode me dar um exemplo de como você usa o GPS e outras tecnologias de localização para me mostrar um conteúdo mais relevante? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== O que você quer dizer com &quot;inferir minha localização geográfica&quot;? E por que você precisa fazer isso? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Quais são alguns exemplos de quando eu gostaria que dessem para mim permisão para enviar as minhas imformacõis ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Quais são algumas maneiras pelas quais você pode compartilhar informações do usuário para investigar, reforçar ou defender os sites e políticas do Wikimedia? ==

É importante para nós podermos garantir que todas as pessoas joguem com as mesmas regras e, às vezes, isso significa que precisamos investigar e compartilhar informações de usuários específicos para garantir que elas sejam.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

Como outro exemplo, se nos avisar de que um usuário criou uma ameaça de bomba, talvez devêssemos reportar algumas informações relacionadas a essa ameaça às autoridades locais para salvar vidas.

Também podemos usar informações pessoais para outros fins de caridade legítimos descritos em nossa política de privacidade.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Você pode me dar alguns exemplos de quando você compartilharia minhas informações com provedores de terceiros?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Claro! Por exemplo, os Sites da Wikimedia dependem de provedores de hospedagem, provedores de rede de fibra óptica, data centers e outros provedores de serviços e contratados. Temos um contrato com esses provedores de serviços, e eles só têm acesso a dados para seus dados para realizar serviços para nós consistentes com esta política. Outras vezes, podemos usar provedores de terceiros para nos ajudar a gerenciar as informações que armazenamos ou usamos. Por exemplo, podemos usar sistemas de gerenciamento de subsídios de terceiros para manter as informações do requerente de concessão e tornar nosso processo de inscrição mais simples e eficiente, ou podemos usar provedores de terceiros para serviços de e-mail para funcionários.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Quais informações são reveladas quando clico em um link em um site da Wikimedia que me leva a um site externo de terceiros? ==

Quando você clica em um link em um site da Wikimedia que o envia para um site externo, as informações do referenciador transmitem apenas a origem do seu domínio, não a página específica da Wikimedia visitada, para esse destino de terceiros. Por exemplo, se você estiver lendo um artigo na Wikipédia e clicar em uma citação que o direcione para um artigo de notícias em um site externo, as informações do referenciador conterão apenas o domínio da Wikipédia, não o URL do artigo específico. Esse tipo de política de referenciador é conhecido como [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origem-quando-cruzada&quot;].

Limitamos as informações de referência dessa forma para proteger a privacidade do usuário e evitamos revelar informações confidenciais sobre as páginas visualizadas pelos usuários, enquanto permitimos que afiliados e parceiros de movimento coletem informações agregadas sobre o tráfego recebido de sites operados pela Wikimedia. Para aqueles que gostariam de saber mais, e podem estar interessados em ter maior controle sobre as informações do referenciador, a equipe de Segurança da Wikimedia Foundation preparou uma [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|página no Meta]] com mais detalhes e ferramentas recomendadas.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Qual é o risco de re-identificação? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Em [[$netflixprizelink|algumas instâncias]] (não envolvendo os sites da Wikimedia, até onde sabemos!), pesquisadores independentes conseguiram vincular informações não pessoais e agregadas de diferentes fontes a usuários específicos. Embora tentemos evitar isso procurando anonimizar as informações antes de compartilhá-las para fins de pesquisa, queremos que você esteja ciente desse risco.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Eu posso me conectar nos sites da Fundação Wikimedia com HTTPS? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Quais são alguns exemplos de quanto tempo você guarda meus dados? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Existe um órgão comunitário encarregado de investigar as alegadas violações da privacidade? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Há informações desatualizadas ou imprecisas sobre mim em um artigo da Wikipédia. Como faço para atualizar minhas informações?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Os Projetos Wikimedia são escritos em colaboração e conduzidos por consenso. Isso significa que a informação em artigos da Wikipedia é escrita, atualizada e policiada por uma comunidade global de usuários como você. Se você é o assunto de um artigo da Wikipedia ou é mencionado em uma página de discussão e acredita que contém informações imprecisas ou desatualizadas sobre você, você deve seguir as políticas e procedimentos de conteúdo da comunidade de usuários para abordá-los. Você pode obter ajuda com isso enviando um e-mail com {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}. A Fundação Wikimedia não &quot;se envolve em disputas de conteúdo e acredita que trabalhar com a comunidade é a melhor maneira de resolver possíveis conflitos.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Quais são os sinais Não rastreie (&quot;DNT&quot;) e como a Wikimedia Foundation responde a eles? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
&quot;Não acompanhar&quot; ou &quot;DNT&quot; é uma maneira para o seu navegador web informar ao site que você está visitando que não quer ser rastreado por terceiros cujos sites você não visitou, como serviços analíticos, redes publicitárias e plataformas sociais.

== Eu pensei que nunca precisei de uma conta para ler ou contribuir! Em que circunstâncias eu precisaria me registrar para ler ou contribuir? ==

Você nunca precisa de uma conta para ler um site público da Wikimedia. E na maioria dos casos, você não precisa de uma conta para contribuir com um site da Wikimedia. No entanto, existem alguns casos raros em que você precisará registrar uma conta se quiser contribuir. Uma comunidade local de editores ou colaboradores (por exemplo, a comunidade da Wikipédia em inglês ou a comunidade de Wikcionário Malaio) ou a própria Wikimedia Foundation pode decidir colocar restrições temporárias ou permanentes sobre o que você pode mudar. Por exemplo, uma página específica pode ser temporariamente impedida de editar para permitir apenas usuários experientes ou administrativos devido a vandalismo ou preocupações com direitos autorais. Você também não pode enviar conteúdo, como imagens ou vídeos, sem estar logado, porque precisamos verificar se as permissões apropriadas foram obtidas do detentor dos direitos autorais (se a mídia ainda não estiver em domínio público) para publicar o conteúdo.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== podem dar-me alguns exemplos maiores das imformacõis e avaliacõis ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Certo! Os registros públicos podem incluir quando sua conta foi criada, quando você excluiu uma página ou quando você agradeceu a outro usuário. Se você gostaria de um exemplo, você também pode navegar através de alguns dos registro públicos para essa wiki em [[Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Posso apagar e/ou anonimizar qualquer conteúdo que eu publicar em qualquer site da Wikimedia, se eu não quiser ser pessoalmente identificado? Se sim, como? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

Se você é um usuário registrado, nós encorajamos você a não usar seu nome verdadeiro como seu nome de usuário se você não quiser que outros tenham uma conexão entre o que você postar nos Sites da Wikimedia e seu nome real. Você pode aprender mais sobre como escolher seu nome de usuário na Wikipédia em inglês na [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|política de nome de usuário]]. Observe que esta política de nome de usuário é aplicável apenas à Wikipédia em inglês, e diferentes Wikipédias têm políticas diferentes. Recomendamos verificar a política de nome de usuário no projeto que você pretende usar para ter certeza de que está em conformidade com a prática local.

Se você já incluiu informações de identificação pessoal (como seu nome real) em seu nome de usuário e não deseja ser identificado pessoalmente com suas contribuições, recomendamos que você solicite a sinonimização das informações (em vez de continuar com os processos de remoção e supressão descrito acima) solicitando uma alteração do seu nome de usuário. Para obter informações sobre como alterar seu nome de usuário, consulte [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|a página como alterar nome de usuário no Meta-Wiki]].

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
O processo de anonimização não pode garantir a anonimização completa ou abrangente de todo o conteúdo ou informações publicadas nos sites da Wikimedia relacionados ao seu nome de usuário anterior. Se a sua solicitação for concedida, a alteração do nome ocorrerá somente em registros gerados automaticamente (como históricos de páginas) associados ao conteúdo que você publicou. A alteração do nome não excluirá as menções do seu nome de usuário anterior por terceiros. Por exemplo, se você alterou seu nome de usuário de MichaelPaul para Owlwatcher345, o conteúdo que você contribuiu será atribuído a Owlwatcher345, mas se outro usuário mencionou você pelo nome MichaelPaul em uma página de discussão, MichaelPaul continuará a aparecer em vez de Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

Por favor, consulte o nossa [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|política de privacidade]] para obter mais informações sobre suas opções com relação ao uso de suas Informações Pessoais e como você pode exercer essas opções.

== Mitä erilaista tässä tietosuojakäytännössä on? Voinko nähdä vanhemmat versiot? ==

Kuten monet organisaatiot, olemme kasvaneet ja muuttuneet vuosien aikana, ja laadimme tämän tietosuojakäytäntöluonnoksen siinä toivossa, että se heijastaisi paremmin nykyisiä käytäntöjämme ja sen lisäksi sitä, mihin toivomme tulevaisuudessa menevämme. Tavoitteenamme oli tehdä tästä tietosuojakäytännöstä helposti luettava ja läpinäkyvä kertoessaan niistä tavoista, joilla keräämme ja käytämme tietoa ymmärtääksemme paremmin ja kehittääksemme Wikimedia-sivustoja sinulle.

Jos olet kiinnostunut lukemaan tietosuojakäytäntömme aiempia versioita, pidämme aikaisemmat versiot tietosuojakäytännöistämme näkyvillä ja arkistoissa, jotta voit katsoa niitä. Koska ylläpidämme tietosuojakäytäntöjämme wikissä, voit käyttää [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} sivuhistoriaa] vertaillaksesi eri versioita! Suuria muutoksia on tehty vuosina [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] ja [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Voitteko antaa esimerkkejä siitä, miten käytätte evästeitä ja paikallista muistia? ==

Toki! Evästeiden (ja niihin liittyvien paikallismuistitekniikoiden) käyttö Wikimedia-sivustoilla jakautuu yleensä seuraaviin luokkiin:

* Toimivuus: nämä evästeet auttavat Wikimedia-sivustoja toimimaan, sisältäen välttämättömät ominaisuudet, kuten sisäänkirjautumisen ja tilapäisten tunnusten säilyttäminen.
* Asetukset: asetuksiasi tallennetaan evästeisiin, jotta ne muistetaan seuraavalla kerralla kun käytät sivustoa.
* Suorituskyky ja analytiikka: evästeet keräävät tietoa siitä miten käytät sivustoamme, jotta ymmärrämme paremmin kuinka sivusto toimii ja voimme kehittää sitä sinulle ja muille käyttäjille.
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

Meille on tärkeää, että voimme varmistua siitä, että kaikki noudattavat samoja sääntöjä, ja joskus se voi tarkoittaa sitä, että meidän on tutkittava ja jaettava tietym käyttäjän tietoja varmistuaksemme siitä, että he ovat noudattaneet sääntöjä.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Vad är annorlunda med denna policy? Kan jag läsa äldre versioner?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Vad är skillnaden mellan ett &quot;standardkonto&quot; och ett &quot;icke-standardkonto&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Co je na těchto Zásadách ochrany osobních údajů odlišné? Mohu vidět starší verze? ==

Stejně jako mnoho jiných organizací jsme se v průběhu let rozrůstali a měnili a tyto Zásady ochrany osobních údajů jsme vypracovali v naději, že budou lépe odrážet nejen naši současnou praxi, ale také naše směřování do budoucna. Naším cílem bylo, aby tyto Zásady byly snadno čitelné a průhledné co do způsobů shromažďování informací a jejich používání pro lepší chápání a zlepšování stránek Wikimedie.

Pokud máte zájem přečíst si  některé z našich starších Zásad ochrany osobních údajů, udržujeme předchozí verze našich Zásad ochrany osobních údajů přístupné v archivech pro vaši kontrolu. Protože udržujeme naše zásady ochrany osobních údajů na wiki, můžete použít [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} historii stránky] k porovnání revizí! Větší revize jsou z let [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] a [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Co znamená &quot;standardní účet&quot; a &quot;nestandardní účet&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

Standardní účet je ten, ke kterému se můžete přihlásit, abyste mohli procházet nebo upravovat hlavní projekty Wikimedie, jako je Wikipedie nebo Wikimedia Commons. K vytvoření standardního účtu u Wikimedia Foundation obvykle nepotřebujete poskytnout více než uživatelské jméno a heslo. Pokud si však vytvoříte standardní účet pomocí systému provozovaného třetí stranou, můžete být požádáni o poskytnutí dalších informací, jako je e-mailová adresa. Nestandardní účet je ten, ke kterému se můžete přihlásit, abyste se mohli podrobněji účastnit hnutí Wikimedie, mimo čtení nebo přispívání do jednoho z našich hlavních projektů, jako je Wikipedie.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

Pokud si například zaregistrujete účet na newiki stránkách, jako je [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]] nebo [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunterresponse Team]] nebo pracujete na speciální iniciativě, jako je Global Education, můžete být požádáni o registraci účtu, abyste se mohli zúčastnit, a registrace pro tyto účty může vyžadovat další informace jiné než uživatelské jméno a heslo, jako je e-mailová adresa.

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Můžete uvést nějaké příklady, jaké druhy cookies používáte? ==

Jistě! Cookies (a příbuzné technologie místního ukládání) používané projekty Wikimedie obecně spadají do následujících kategorií:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Funkčnost: Soubory cookie pomáhají stránkám Wikimedie fungovat, včetně základních funkcí, jako je přihlašování.&lt;/span&gt;
* Předvolby: Cookies ukládají vaše zvolené nastavení, takže může být použito při další návštěvě stránek.
* Výkon a analýza: Cookies shromažďují informace o tom, jak naše stránky používáte abychom lépe porozuměli tomu, jak fungují, a mohli je dále zlepšovat pro vás i další uživatele.
* Třetí osoby: Cookies nám umožňují nabízet služby poskytované třetími stranami, jako jsou tlačítka &quot;Líbí se&quot; a &quot;Sdílet&quot;. Třetí strana poskytuje tyto služby výměnou za uznání, že jste navštívili naše webové stránky. (Měly by se používat pouze s vaším vysloveným souhlasem.)

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Jakými volbami mohu omezit používání místně uložených dat na mém zařízení? ==

I když nejde o úplný seznam, zde je několik způsobů, jak můžete omezit používání lokálně uložených dat na svém zařízení:

* Vypnutí nebo odstranění určitých místně ukládaných dat v nastavení vašeho prohlížeče;
* Použití prohlížeče, který umí blokovat cookies třetích stran;
* Instalace zásuvného modulu k blokování místně ukládaných dat, pokud takový je k dispozici.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Jak lze posílat elektronickou poštu na stránkách Wikimedie a jak mohu změnit, jaká upozornění chci dostávat? ==

Změnit nastavení, jaká upozornění budete dostávat, můžete následovně:

: (a) Klepnutím na odkaz za &quot;Zaškrtněte, která upozornění vám máme zasílat&quot; na konci každého upozornění, které vám zasíláme, jak vidíte níže; nebo
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) přihlašte se ke svému účtu, pak klepněte na &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; vpravo nahoře a potom na &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|Záložka &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}!]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|Záložka &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

Máte také možnost povolit funkci &quot;Poslat tomuto uživateli e-mail&quot;, která umožňuje ostatním uživatelům posílat vám e-mail přímo kliknutím na &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; v nabídce Toolbox na vaší uživatelské stránce. Pokud tuto funkci povolíte, vaše e-mailová adresa nebude odhalena, když vás kontaktují ostatní uživatelé (i když ano, pokud odpovíte). Pokud tuto funkci povolíte, každý jiný uživatel vám může poslat e-mail a my nemáme kontrolu nad tím, co a jak často vám budou e-maily psát. Tuto funkci můžete aktivovat takto:

: Přihlaste se ke svému účtu, klikněte na &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, poté klikněte na &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; a zaškrtněte políčko &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;.

[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|Záložka &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Můžete mi uvést příklad toho, jak používáte GPS a další technologie určování polohy, abyste mi zobrazili relevantnější obsah? ==

Tak určitě! Pokud používáte mobilní aplikaci Wikipedie, můžete pomocí tlačítka &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; zjistit, zda existují články o místech a věcech ve vašem okolí. Vaše zařízení vás požádá o povolení identifikovat a používat vaši aktuální polohu před skutečným použitím informací o vaší poloze. Pokud tuto funkci použijete na svém notebooku, stolním počítači nebo zařízení bez GPS, tato funkce použije vaše informace z vašeho prohlížeče ke zjištění vaší polohy a vyhledání článků o místech a věcech (jako jsou veřejné sochy nebo slavné budovy) ve vašem okolí.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Co tím myslíte, že &quot;odvozujete mou zeměpisnou polohu&quot;? A proč to musíte udělat? ==

Používáme některé stažené produkty, jako je [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], což nám umožňuje interně určit přibližnou polohu našich uživatelů. A když říkáme &quot;přibližné&quot;, myslíme to vážně: GeoIP City DB řeší vaši polohu ve středu nejpřesnějších dat o oblasti spojených s vaší IP. Jedinými možnostmi souvisejících údajů o oblasti jsou PSČ, město, region nebo země. Pokud se obvykle nenacházíte v geografickém středu nejkonkrétnější oblasti spojené s vaší IP adresou, je nepravděpodobné, že data, která získáme, budou dostatečně dobrá k doručení sendviče.

Děláme to proto, aby vám mohl být poskytnut vhodný regionální obsah, jako jsou místní oznámení, oznámení o událostech a místní fundraisingové kampaně. Chcete-li zjistit, jaké informace o vaší IP adrese máme k dispozici, můžete si kdykoli načíst náš [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup vyhledávací nástroj GeoIP] a zkontrolovat výsledek.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Jaké jsou příklady, kde bych vám dal povolení sdílet své informace? ==

Pokud získáte stipendium na [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], můžeme vás požádat o svolení sdílet vaše informace s místní pobočkou hostující Wikimánii v daném roce, abychom mohli zajistit vhodná cestovní opatření. Nebo pokud žádáte o grant, můžeme vás požádat o svolení sdílet vaše informace s členy [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]], kteří posuzují vaši žádost o grant. Nebo můžete chtít použít své uživatelské jméno a heslo Wikimedie k přihlášení a odesílání informací na stránky třetí strany pomocí služeb jako [//openid.net/ OpenID] nebo [//oauth.net/ OAuth], v takovém případě budou vaše informace zaslány pouze stránkám třetí strany s vaším výslovným svolením.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Jaké jsou některé způsoby, jak můžete používat nebo sdílet informace o uživatelích, například k vyšetřování, vymáhání nebo obraně stránek a zásad Wikimedie? ==

Je pro nás důležité, abychom se mohli ujistit, že všichni hrají podle stejných pravidel, a někdy to znamená, že musíme prošetřit a sdílet informace konkrétních uživatelů, abychom se ujistili, že tomu tak je.

Uživatelské informace mohou být například sdíleny, když [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] vyšetřuje zneužití na Projektu, jako je podezření na použití škodlivých &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicitní účty), vandalismus, obtěžování jiných uživatelů nebo rušivé chování. Pokud se zjistí, že uživatel porušuje naše [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Podmínky použití]] nebo jiné relevantní zásady, mohou být jeho osobní údaje předány poskytovateli služeb, dopravci nebo jinému subjektu třetí strany, například za účelem pomoci při cílení blokování IP nebo podat stížnost příslušnému poskytovateli internetových služeb.

Dalším příkladem je, že pokud jsme upozorněni, že uživatel vyhrožoval bombou, možná budeme muset některé informace související s touto hrozbou nahlásit místním úřadům, abychom zachránili životy.

Osobní údaje můžeme také použít pro jiné legitimní charitativní účely popsané v našich Zásadách ochrany osobních údajů.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Můžete mi dát nějaké kategorie a příklady, kdy byste mé informace sdíleli s poskytovateli třetích stran? ==

Samozřejmě! Stránky Wikimedie se spoléhají na poskytovatele hostingu, poskytovatele optických sítí, datová centra a další poskytovatele služeb a dodavatele. S těmito poskytovateli služeb máme smlouvu a oni mají přístup k vašim údajům pouze za účelem poskytování služeb pro nás v souladu s těmito zásadami. Jindy můžeme využít poskytovatele třetích stran, kteří nám pomohou spravovat informace, které ukládáme nebo používáme, řešit požadavky uživatelů a další provozní potřeby (jako jsou audity). Můžeme například používat systémy správy grantů třetích stran k uchovávání informací o žadatelích o grant a zjednodušit a zefektivnit proces podávání žádostí nebo můžeme využít poskytovatele třetích stran pro e-mailové a oznamovací služby pro zaměstnance a uživatele.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Jaké informace se zobrazí, když kliknu na odkaz na webu Wikimedie, který mě přesměruje na externí web třetí strany? ==

Když kliknete na odkaz na stránce Wikimedie, který vás přesměruje na externí webovou stránku, informace o referreru přenesou do cíle třetí strany pouze původ vaší domény, nikoli konkrétní navštívenou stránku Wikimedie. Pokud například čtete článek na Wikipedii a kliknete na citaci, která vás přesměruje na zpravodajský článek na externím webu, informace o referreru obsahují pouze doménu Wikipedie, nikoli adresu URL konkrétního článku. Tento typ zásad odkazujících stránek je známý jako [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].

Tímto způsobem omezujeme informace o referrech, abychom chránili soukromí uživatelů a vyvarovali se odhalení citlivých informací o stránkách, které si uživatelé prohlížejí, a zároveň umožňujeme přidruženým společnostem a partnerům hnutí shromažďovat souhrnné informace o návštěvnosti z webových stránek provozovaných Wikimedií. Pro ty, kteří by chtěli vědět více a mohli by mít zájem o větší kontrolu nad informacemi o referreru, připravil tým Wikimedia Foundation Security [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|stránku na Meta-Wiki]] s dalšími podrobnostmi a doporučenými nástroji.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Jaké je riziko opětovné identifikace? ==

V několika případech (nezahrnujících stránky Wikimedie, pokud víme!), byli nezávislí výzkumníci schopni spojit neosobní a souhrnné informace z různých zdrojů s konkrétními uživateli. I když se tomu snažíme vyhnout tím, že se snažíme před sdílením osobních údajů pro výzkumné účely deidentifikovat osobní údaje, chceme se ujistit, že jste si tohoto rizika vědomi.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Používá Wikimedia Foundation na svých stránkách HTTPS? ==

Ano! Od [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015] zavádíme na všech stránkách Wikimedie pouze komunikaci HTTPS. Zavedli jsme také několik souvisejících opatření k dalšímu zabezpečení našeho provozu nad rámec minimálních standardů v oboru, včetně: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ předběžného načítání HSTS prohlížeče], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]] a [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] serverové certifikáty. Vkládáme podepsaná časová razítka certifikátu pro [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]] a umožňujeme nejlepší možnosti šifrování ve své třídě, včetně [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] a [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. Také [[phab:T147199|zavrhujeme zastaralé šifry]], než se stanou další nouzovou situací. Nejnovější informace o našem úsilí naleznete na [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|stránce stavu HTTPS]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Jaké jsou příklady toho, jak dlouho uchováváte moje data? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Záleží na typu dat a způsobu jejich sběru. Například informace, ke kterým lze přistupovat pomocí [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|nástroje CheckUser]], jsou po třech měsících smazány. Další informace, jako jsou IP adresy spojené s příspěvky od neregistrovaných uživatelů, jsou viditelné v historii revizí článku po neomezenou dobu. Další informace o tom, jak dlouho uchováváme různé typy dat, najdete v našich [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|pokynech pro uchovávání dat]].

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Existuje orgán komunity pověřený vyšetřováním údajného porušení soukromí? ==

Skupina zkušených uživatelů s názvem [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] má oprávnění a pravomoc vyšetřovat porušení a údajná porušení těchto zásad ochrany osobních údajů a poskytnout nám doporučení, jak porušení nebo údajné porušení řešit.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== V článku na Wikipedii jsou o mně zastaralé nebo nepřesné informace! Jak mohu aktualizovat své údaje? ==

Hlavní [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|zásady ochrany osobních údajů]] pokrývají osobní údaje našich uživatelů. Pokud jsou však v článku na Wikipedii o vás zastaralé nebo nepřesné informace, nejlepším způsobem, jak článek aktualizovat, je dodržovat zásady a postupy pro obsah komunity uživatelů. Ke stránce Diskuse k článku můžete komentovat (kliknutím na &quot;Diskuse&quot; v levém horním rohu a poté upravit stránku) a vznést jakékoli dotazy nebo připomínky k posouzení ostatním redaktorům pracujícím na článku. Pokud nechcete stránku komentovat, můžete získat pomoc od zkušených dobrovolníků Wikimedie zasláním e-mailu na {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} nebo na [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|správnou e-mailovou adresu]] pro příslušný jazyk. Projekty Wikimedie jsou napsány ve spolupráci a řízeny konsensem. To znamená, že informace v článcích Wikipedie jsou psány, aktualizovány a kontrolovány globální komunitou uživatelů, jako jste vy. Wikimedia Foundation věří, že komunita by měla obecně určovat, jaký obsah patří do projektů, a doporučujeme použití zavedených komunitních postupů k řešení potenciálních problémů nebo sporů.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Co jsou signály Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) (nesledovat) a jak na ně Wikimedia Foundation reaguje? ==

&quot;Do Not Track&quot; nebo &quot;DNT&quot; je způsob, jak váš webový prohlížeč sdělí navštíveným webovým stránkám, že si nepřejete být sledováni třetími stranami, jejichž webové stránky jste nenavštívili, jako jsou analytické služby, reklamní sítě a sociální sítě.

== Myslel jsem, že ke čtení nebo přispívání nikdy nepotřebuji účet! Za jakých okolností bych se musel zaregistrovat, abych mohl číst nebo přispívat? ==

Ke čtení veřejných stránek Wikimedi nikdy nepotřebujete účet. A ve většině případů nepotřebujete účet, abyste mohli přispívat na stránky Wikimedie. Existuje však několik vzácných případů, kdy si budete muset zaregistrovat účet, pokud chcete přispívat. Místní komunita editorů nebo přispěvatelů (například komunita anglické Wikipedie nebo komunita malajských Wikislovníků) nebo samotná Wikimedia Foundation se mohou rozhodnout dočasně nebo trvale omezit to, co můžete změnit. Například určité stránce mohou být dočasně zakázány úpravy, aby byly povoleny pouze zkušení nebo administrativní uživatelé z důvodu vandalismu nebo ochrany autorských práv. Nesmíte také nahrávat obsah, jako jsou obrázky nebo videa, aniž byste byli přihlášeni, protože potřebujeme ověřit, že jsme získali správná oprávnění od držitele autorských práv (pokud médium již není ve veřejné doméně), abychom mohli obsah zveřejnit.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Můžete mi uvést nějaké příklady, jaké informace jsou dostupné prostřednictvím veřejných protokolů? ==

Tak určitě! Veřejné protokoly mohou zahrnovat, kdy byl váš účet vytvořen, kdy jste smazali stránku nebo kdy jste poděkovali jinému uživateli. Pokud byste chtěli příklad, můžete také procházet některé z veřejných protokolů této wiki na [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Mohu smazat a nebo anonymizovat jakýkoli obsah, který zveřejním na jakékoli stránce Wikimedie, pokud nechci být osobně identifikován? Pokud ano, jak? ==

Stránky Wikimedie využívají veřejně dostupné historie revizí k budování konsenzu, k podpoře transparentnosti mezi přispěvateli a editory a k potvrzení pravosti obsahu našich stránek. Jakmile tedy zveřejníte informace na stránkách Wikimedie, jsou veřejné a pravděpodobně je nebudete moci odstranit. I když určitý obsah (řekněme z článku na Wikipedii) sami odstraníte, zůstane stále veřejně dostupný v části článku &quot;Historie zobrazení&quot;. Za určitých okolností můžete požádat o odstranění stránky nebo souboru nebo části historie stránky nebo souboru z veřejné viditelnosti (například pokud omylem zveřejníte vysoce rizikové osobní údaje, jako je číslo vaší kreditní karty). Vezměte prosím na vědomí, že rozhodnutí o odstranění (tj. smazání celého článku) nejsou vždy přijímána centrálně a někdy k nim dochází po veřejné diskusi mezi komunitou Wikipedie (další informace viz [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|zásady mazání]] anglické Wikipedie). Tento postup nezaručuje celkové nebo úplné odstranění obsahu nebo informací zveřejněných na stránkách Wikimedi.

Můžete také požádat o potlačení (přehled), abyste skryli revize, uživatelská jména v historii úprav a protokolech nebo části jednotlivých položek protokolu. Potlačení je proces na wiki, který se vztahuje na konkrétní použití. Další informace a pokyny najdete na [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki stránce o potlačení]].

Pokud jste registrovaným uživatelem, doporučujeme vám nepoužívat své skutečné jméno jako své uživatelské jméno, pokud nechcete, aby ostatní měli spojitost mezi tím, co zveřejňujete na stránkách Wikimedie, a vaším skutečným jménem. Více o výběru uživatelského jména se můžete dozvědět v [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|zásadách uživatelských jmen]] na anglické Wikipedii. Vezměte prosím na vědomí, že tyto zásady uživatelského jména se vztahují pouze na anglickou Wikipedii a různé Wikipedie mají odlišné zásady. Doporučujeme zkontrolovat zásady uživatelských jmen u projektu, který hodláte použít, abyste se ujistili, že dodržujete místní zvyklosti.

Pokud jste již ve svém uživatelském jménu uvedli osobní identifikační údaje (jako je vaše skutečné jméno) a nechcete být osobně identifikováni ve svých příspěvcích, doporučujeme vám požádat o anonymizaci údajů (místo pokračování v procesech odstraňování a potlačování popsané výše) žádostí o změnu vašeho uživatelského jména. Informace o tom, jak změnit své uživatelské jméno, naleznete na [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|stránce Meta-Wiki o změně uživatelského jména]].

Proces deidentifikace nemůže zajistit plnou nebo úplnou anonymizaci veškerého obsahu nebo osobních údajů zveřejněných na stránkách Wikimedie souvisejících s vaším předchozím uživatelským jménem. Pokud bude váš požadavek schválen, změna názvu se projeví pouze v automaticky generovaných protokolech (jako je historie stránek) ve spojení s obsahem, který jste zveřejnili. Změna jména nesmaže zmínky o vašem předchozím uživatelském jménu třetími stranami. Pokud jste například změnili své uživatelské jméno z MichaelPaul na Owlwatcher345, obsah, kterým jste přispěli, bude přiřazen Owlwatcher345, ale pokud vás jiný uživatel zmínil pod jménem MichaelPaul na diskusní stránce, MichaelPaul se bude nadále zobrazovat spíše než Owlwatcher345.

Další informace o vašich volbách s ohledem na naše používání vašich osobních údajů a o tom, jak můžete tyto volby uplatnit, naleznete v našich [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Zásadách ochrany osobních údajů]].

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Какво е различното в тази Декларация за поверителност? Мога ли да видя старите версии?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Както много други организации, с годините ние растем и се променяме. Проектирахме тази Декларация за поверителност с надеждата да отразим по-добре не само текущото състояние, но и къде се надяваме да стигнем в бъдеще. Целта ни е да направим тази Декларация за поверителност лесна за четене и прозрачна по отношение на това как събираме информацията и как я използваме, за да разберем и подобрим сайтовете на Уикимедия за Вас.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ако искате да прочетете старите версии на Декларацията за поверителност, те се съхраняват и са достъпни в архива. Тъй като за целта се използва уики технология, можете да използвате  [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} историята на страницата], за да сравните версиите. Най-големи промени са правени през [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] (Заб. на български е превеждан само [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy/2008/bg вариантът от 2008 г.])

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Какво е &quot;стандартен&quot; и &quot;нестандартен&quot; профил?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Стандартният профил е този, с който можете да влезете (да се &quot;логнете&quot;), за да разгледате и редактирате основните проекти на Уикимедия като Уикипедия и Общомедия. За създаването на стандартен профил обикновено не е необходимо нищо повече от потребителско име и парола, но ако го създадете с посредничеството на система, управлявана от трета страна, тогава може да се наложи да дадете повече информация като например имейл. Нестандартният профил е този, с който можете да участвате в движението на Уикимедия по по-задълбочен начин, а не само да разглеждате и редактирате. Например, ако участвате в [$bugzillalink Bugzilla], [$gerritlink Gerrit] или [[$otrslink|OTRS]] или ако работите по специални инициативи като Глобално образование, от Вас се изисква да се регистрирате с потребителско име и парола и при това може да се изисква и допълнителна информация като например имейл адрес.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Можете ли да дадете примери за типовете бисквитки а как използвате локалните записи? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Разбира се! Бисквитките и свързаната с тях технология за локални записи, използвани в сайтовете на Уикимедия, попадат най-общо в следните категории:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Функционалност: Тези бисквитки помагат за работата на уебсайтовете, включително за съществени техни характеристики като влизането.&lt;/span&gt;
* Предпочитания: Тези бисквитки помнят предпочитанията Ви, така че да се повторят при следващото използване на сайта от Вас.
* Изпълнение и анализ: Тези бисквитки събират информация за това как използвате нашия уебсайт, за да можем да разберем по-добре работата му и да го подобрим за Вас и останалите потребители.
* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Трети страни: Тези бисквитки ни позволяват да Ви предоставяме услуги на трети страни, например бутони “like” и “share”. Когато трета страна предоставя услугите, тя може да изисква употребата на бисквитки, за да осъществява услугите (бисквитките се използват след изрично Ваше съгласие).&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
В таблицата по-долу привеждаме по-специфични примери. но преди да започнете да четете, ето малко подготвителна информация за представките на бисквитките (&quot;{$wgCookiePrefix}&quot;), посочени в таблицата.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Какви опции имам, за да огранича съхранението на локални записи на моето устройство? ==

Макар и не пълен списък, ето някои неща, които можете да направите за ограничаване на локалните записи на Вашето устройство. Можете да:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;премахнете или деактивирате определени локални записи чрез настройки на браузъра си;&lt;/span&gt;
* използвате браузър, който може да блокира бисквитки на трети страни или
* да инсталирате добавка към браузъра, блокираща локалните записи, ако има такава

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Как изпращам имейли в рамките на сайтовете на Уикимедия и как да променя настройките за получаване на уведомления? ==

Можете да промените вида на получаваните уведомления по един от следните начини:

: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;(а) с щракване на линка след фразата “To control which emails we send you, check your preferences” в края на всеки имейл, който изпращаме, или&lt;/span&gt;
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;(б) влезете във Вашата сметка, щракнете на &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; в горния десен ъгъл на екрана и след това на &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|Таб &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|Таб &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Имате възможност и да разрешите изпращането на имейл до Вас с опцията “Email this user”, която позволява на другите потребители с едно щракване да Ви пратят имейл. Ако обаче решите да я разрешите, то самият имейл адрес не се разкрива (макар че ще го разкриете, ако впоследствие отговорите на получено писмо). Ако изберете да разрешите тази опция, ние не сме в състояние да контролираме кой ще я ползва и колко често. Ето как можете да я разрешите:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Влезте в сметката си, щракнете на  &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, след това на &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; и поставете отметка в кутийката &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|Таб &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;]]
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

== Можете ли да дадете пример как използвате GPS и други технологии за определяне на местоположението, за да ми покажете по-интересно съдържание. ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Разбира се! Ако използвате мобилното приложение на Уикипедия, чрез използване на бутона  &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; можете да откриете дали има статии за места и неща в близост до Вас. Вашето устройство ще поиска разрешение от Вас да използва информацията за местоположението Ви преди да го стори на практика. Ако решите да използвате бутона от устройство без GPS - лаптоп, десктоп и др., - ще бъде използвана информацията от Вашия браузър, за да се изчисли приблизително местоположението Ви и да Ви се предложат статии за места и неща в близост до Вас.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Какво разбирате под &quot;да се изчисли приблизително местоположението Ви&quot;? И защо е необходимо това?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ние използваме някои чужди продукти като [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind’s GeoIP City DB], които ни позволяват да определяме приблизителното местоположение на потребителите за вътрешни цели. И казвайки &quot;приблизително&quot;, имаме предвид точно това: GeoIP City DB ни дава местоположението Ви като център на възможно най-точната зона, привързана към Вашия IP адрес. Единствените параметри, свързани с тази най-точна зона, са пощенски код, град, регион и страна. Освен ако обичайно не се намирате точно в центъра на тази специфична зона, привързана към Вашия IP адрес, вероятно данните, които ние извличаме, няма да са достатъчно точни, за да можем да Ви направим доставка на сандвич.
&lt;/div&gt;

Правим това, за да можем да ви обслужим с подходящо регионално съдържание като местните новини, съобщения за събития и местни благотворителни кампании. За да видите каква информация имаме записана за Вашия IP адрес, по всяко време можете да използвате  [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP инструмента] и да видите резултата.

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Какви примери можете да дадете за случаи, когато бих ви дал разрешение да споделите моята лична информация? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ако получите стипендия за участие в Уикимания можем да поискаме разрешение да споделим информация за Вас с местния чаптър, домакин на Уикимания, за да можем да уредим пътуването. Или ако подадете молба за безвъзмездна помощ (грант), ще поискаме разрешение да споделим информация за Вас с членовете на съответната комисия [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]], които ще разглеждат молбата. Или ако желаете да използвате потребителското си име и парола от Уикимедия за да се логнете в сайт на трета страна като използвате услуги от типа на [//openid.net/ OpenID] или [//oauth.net/ OAuth] - в този случай информацията за Вас ще бъде разкрита на третата страна само с изрично Ваше разрешение.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Посочете някои случаи, когато можете да разкриете лична информация, за да разследвате, приложите или защитите сайтове и политики на Уикимедия.&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
За нас е важно да гарантираме, че всички спазват едни и същи правила и понякога това означава, че понякога с оглед на това е необходимо да разследваме и да разкрием специфична информация за оптребителя.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Например лична информация за потребителя може да бъде разкрита когато се разследва злоупотреба в даден проект с [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]], например при вероятно използване на злонамерени &quot;марионетки&quot; (дублирани профили), вандализъм, тормоз на други потребители или разрушително поведение
&lt;/div&gt;

Друг пример е когато бъдем уведомени, че потребителят е отправил бомбена заплаха, тогава можем да докладваме лична информация на местните власти, за да спасим живот.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Приведете примери, когато бихте споделили моята лична информация с доставчици - трети страни.&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Разбира се! Например сайтовете на Уикимедия разчитат на хостинг провайдъри, доставчици на оптична мрежова връзка, центрове за данни и те имат достъп до Вашите данни съгласно тази Декларация за поверителност до степента, необходима им да изпълняват услугите си към нас. Друг път можем да използваме трети страни, за да ни помогнат да управляваме информацията, която съхраняваме или ползваме. Например можем да използваме системи за управление на грантове на трети страни, за да съхраняваме информацията за кандидатите и да опростим процеса на кандидатстване или пък можем да използваме трети страни за имейл услуги за персонала.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.

== Какъв е рискът от идентификация? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
В [[$netflixprizelink|редки случаи]] (не включващи сайтовете на Уикимедия, доколкото ни е известно) независими изследователи са съумявали да свържат известна не-лична и обобщена информация от различни източници с определени потребители. Макар че се опитваме да избегнем това, като правим информацията анонимна преди да я споделим с научна цел, трябва да Ви уведомим за съществуването на подобен риск.

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Мога ли да ползвам сайтовете с https?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Да! Логването е винаги с https и винаги имате възможност да ползвате https при посещение на страници - или като редактирате URL, или с инструмент от рода на [$httpseverywhere HTTPS Everywhere]. Работим и за по-широкото въвеждане на https. За да научите повече, посетете [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Дайте примери колко дълго съхранявате мои лични данни. ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Зависи от типа на данните и как се събират. Например информацията, получена с  [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]], се изтрива след три месеца. Друга информация, като например IP адресите на анонимни редактори, се вижда в историята на редакциите неограничено време.

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;В статия на Уикипедия има остаряла и невярна информация за мен. Как да коригирам тази информация?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Проектите на Уикимедия се създават колективно и се ръководят от принципа за консенсус. Това означава, че информацията в статиите от Уикипедия се попълва, актуализира и поддържа от глобалната общност потребители като Вас. Ако Вие сте обект на статия или сте споменат в беседа и смятате, че има невярна или остаряла информация за Вас, трябва да прегледате политиките за управление на съдържанието и да следвате посочените там процедури. Можете да получите помощ по този въпрос като изпратите имейл на {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}. Фондация Уикимедия не е страна по спорове относно съдържанието и вярва, че сътрудничеството с общността е най-добрият начин за разрешаване на възникнали спорове-

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Какво представляват сигналите Не проследявай (Do Not Track &quot;DNT&quot;) и как фондация Уикимедия се отнася към тях?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Сигналите Не проследявай (Do Not Track &quot;DNT&quot;) са начин Вашият браузър да съобщи на посещавания от Вас уебсайт, че не желаете да бъдете проследявани от трети страни, чиито уебсайтове не посещавате, като например аналитични услуги, рекламни мрежи и социални платформи. Когато се използва този механизъм Вашият браузър изпраща сигнал, изрично съобщаващ желанието ви личната ви информация, особено действията Ви онлайн и мрежовите взаимодействия, да не се споделя с трети страни. При получаване на сигнал DNT от браузъра Ви собственикът на уебсайта има опцията или да го уважи, или да игнорира искането Ви.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Фондация Уикимедия се ангажира в голяма степен да не споделя информацията, която събираме за Вас (включително дейността Ви онлайн и мрежовите взаимодействия със сайтовете на Уикимедия) с трети страни, освен в специфичните случаи, описани подробно в раздел &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Кога можем да споделим Вашата информация]]&quot; на Декларацията за поверителност.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Поради този си ангажимент ние защитаваме всеки и при получаване на сигнал DNT от браузъра не променяме поведението си. Ние вярваме че, поне в момента на писане, този подход е също толкова или дори по-защищаващ потребителя отколкото задълженията на &quot;първа страна&quot;, изложени в спецификацията Do Not Track на консорциума World Wide Web. Тази спецификация обаче все още се преразглежда и подлежи на промяна и понякога тези промени са съществени. Ще продължим да я наблюдаваме докато бъде завършена и ще актуализираме поведението си и съответно текста на тези ЧЗВ, като спазваме принципите на Декларацията за поверителност.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Не е необходимо да имате профил, за да четете публичен сайт на Уикимедия. В повечето случаи не е необходим профил и за да допринасяте в сайт на Уикимедия. Местната общност от редактори и автори (например от Уикипедия на английски или Уикиречник на малайски) или самата фондация Уикимедия могат да решат да ограничат временно или постоянно възможностите за промени. Например дадена страница може да бъде временно забранена за редактиране от други, освен от опитни потребители или администратори заради вандализми или нарушаване на авторски права. Също така нямате право да качвате изображения или видео без да се логнете, защото преди да бъде публикувано съдържанието ние трябва да се уверим, че е получено необходимото разрешение от собственика на авторските права (освен ако медията не е вече обществено достояние).

== Можете ли да дадете примери на информация, която е налична в публичните дневници? ==

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== В чём отличие этой версии Политики конфиденциальности? Могу ли я увидеть предыдущие версии? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Что такое «стандартная учётная запись» по сравнению с «нестандартной учётной записью»?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

== Каким образом я могу ограничить использование данных, сохраняемых локально на моём устройстве? ==

Это не полный список всех возможностей, но вот кое-что, что вы можете сделать, чтобы  ограничить использование данных, сохраняемых локально на вашем устройстве. Вы можете:

* удалить или отключить в настройках своего браузера отдельные виды локально сохраняемых данных;
* использовать браузер, блокирующий сторонние куки; или
* установить надстройку для блокировки локально сохраняемых данных (если она имеется для вашего браузера).

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Каким образом я получаю письма от сайтов Викимедиа, и как мне изменить состав получаемых уведомлений? ==

Вы можете изменить состав получаемых уведомлений следующим образом:

: (а) Перейти по ссылке “To control which emails we send you, check your preferences” внизу любого уведомления, которое мы вам посылаем (см. пример ниже); или
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (б) Войти на сайт под своей учётной записью, затем перейти по ссылке «{{int:mypreferences}}» в правом верхнем углу любой страницы, и затем кликнуть по «{{int:prefs-echo}}».
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|Ссылка «{{int:mypreferences}}»]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Что вы понимаете под «определением моего географического положения»? И зачем вам это нужно? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Можете ли вы привести примеры случаев, в которых я должен дать вам разрешение на то, чтобы поделиться моими данными? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Что это за способы, которыми вы можете использовать данные пользователей или обмениваться ими, в частности для исследований, обслуживания или защиты сайтов и политик Викимедиа? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

В качестве другого примера, если мы узнаем о том, что кто-то из пользователей планирует совершить терракт, мы можем проинформировать местные власти о надвигающейся угрозе, дабы спасти жизни.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Можете ли вы привести несколько категорий и примеров ситуаций, в которых вы могли бы поделиться информацией со сторонними поставщиками услуг? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Какая информация раскрывается, когда я нажимаю на сайте Викимедиа ссылку, ведущую на внешний сторонний сайт? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== В чём состоит риск повторной идентификации? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Использует ли Фонд Викимедиа HTTPS на своих сайтах? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Можете ли вы привести примеры того, как долго вы храните мои данные? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Есть ли здесь сообщество, которое отвечает за расследование предполагаемых нарушений конфиденциальности? ==

Группа опытных участников, называемых [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Комиссией омбудсменов (''Ombuds Commission'')]], имеет полномочия и возможности расследовать нарушений и предполагаемых нарушений настоящей политики конфиденциальности и давать рекомендации о том, как нам устранить нарушения или предполагаемые нарушения.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Что такое команда «не следить» (''Do Not Track, «DNT»''), и как на неё реагируют сайты Фонда Викимедиа? ==

«Не следить» или «Do Not Track» (DNT) — это правило для вашего браузера, которое сообщит посещаемому вами сайту, что вы не хотите передавать какую-либо информацию третьим лицам, сайты которых вы не посещаете (таким, как аналитические сервисы, рекламные или социальные сети). Когда вы используете этот механизм, ваш браузер посылает сигнал, выражая ваше желание не передавать третьим сторонам никакую личную информацию (такую, как ваша онлайн-активность или взаимодействие с сетевыми ресурсами). При получении данного сигнала от вашего браузера, владелец веб-сайта (будь то физическое или юридическое лицо) имеет право либо принять его, либо проигнорировать.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

== Я считал, что никогда не потребуется регистрироваться, чтобы прочитать что-либо или внести свой вклад! При каких обстоятельствах мне придётся зарегистрироваться, чтобы читать или внести свой вклад? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Могу ли я удалить и/или анонимизировать любой контент, который я размещаю на любом сайте Викимедиа, если я не хочу, чтобы меня идентифицировали лично? Если да, то как? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Шта је разлика у овој Политици приватности? Могу ли видети старије верзије?&lt;/span&gt; ==

Као и многе организације, ми смо током година расли и мењали се, и ми смо израдили ову Политику приватности у нади да ће она боље одражавати не само нашу тренутну праксу, већ и где се надамо да идемо у будућности. Наши циљеви су били да ову Политику приватности учинимо лако читљивом и прегледном о начину на који прикупљамо информације и користимо их за боље разумевање и побољшање Викимедијиних веб локација за вас.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ако сте заинтересовани да прочитате било коју од наших прошлих Правила о приватности, задржавамо претходне верзије наших Правила о приватности доступним и у архивама за преглед. Пошто на викију одржавамо нашу Политику приватности, можете да употријебите  [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} паге паге] историју!

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Шта је „стандардни налог“ насупрот „нестандардном налогу“?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Стандардни налог је онај на који се можете пријавити да бисте прегледали или уређивали главне пројекте Викимедије као што су Википедиа или Викимедиа Цоммонс. Обично вам није потребно да унесете више од корисничког имена и лозинке да бисте створили стандардни налог са ВМФ-ом; међутим, ако креирате стандардни налог помоћу система који покреће трећа страна, од вас ће се можда затражити додатне информације, као што је адреса е-поште. Нестандардни налог је онај за који бисте се могли пријавити за учешће у покрету Викимедиа на дубљи начин, ван читања или доприноса неком од наших главних пројеката попут Википедије.
&lt;br/&gt;
На пример, ако се региструјете за налог на не-вики веб локацијама као што су [$phabricatorlink Phabricator], [$gerritlink Gerrit] или [[$otrslink|OTRS]] или радите на посебној иницијативи као што је Глобал Едуцатион, можда ћете бити потребни за регистрацију за учешће на рачуну и регистрација за те рачуне могу захтевати додатне информације осим корисничког имена и лозинке, као што је адреса е-поште.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Функционалност: Ови колачићи помажу да Викимедијине веб локације раде, укључујући битне карактеристике попут пријаве.&lt;/span&gt;
* Подешавања: Ови колачићи чувају ваше поставке, тако да се могу запамтити следећи пут када користите веб локацију.
* Перформансе и анализа: Ови колачићи прикупљају информације о томе како користите нашу веб страницу како бисмо боље разумели како веб локација функционише и побољшали је за вас и остале кориснике.
* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Трећа страна: Ови колачићи нам омогућавају пружање услуга које пружају треће стране, попут дугмета „Свиђа ми се“ и „Подиели“. Када трећа страна пружа ове врсте услуга, може им затребати колачић да би пружили своје услуге. (Користе се само уз ваш потврдан пристанак.)&lt;/span&gt;

Ваш уређај ће тражити вашу дозволу да идентификује и користи вашу тренутну локацију пре него што заиста употреби информације о вашој локацији. Ако овој функцији приступите на лаптопу, радној површини или уређају без GPS-а, ова функција користиће ваше податке из вашег прегледача како би утврдили вашу локацију и пронашли чланке о местима и стварима (попут јавних скулптура или познатих грађевина) у вашој близини.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Користимо неке преузете производе, попут [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind’s GeoIP City DB] који нам омогућава да интерно одредимо приближну локацију наших корисника. А кад кажемо „приближни“, то мислимо: ГеоИП ДБ града решава вашу локацију у средишту најпрецизнијих података о подручју повезаних са вашим ИП-ом. Једине могућности за податке везане за подручје су поштански број, град, регион или држава. Ако нисте уобичајено позиционирани у земљописној средини најспецифичнијег подручја повезаног с вашом ИП адресом, подаци које дохватимо вјероватно неће бити довољно добри за испоруку сендвича.
&lt;/div&gt;

То радимо тако да вам можете доставити одговарајући регионални садржај као што су локалне обавештења, најаве догађаја и локалне кампање за прикупљање средстава. Да бисте видели које податке имамо забележене за вашу ИП адресу, можете у било које време да учитате наш [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup ГеоИП алат за претраживање] и проверите резултат.

Или ако се пријавите за грант, можда ћемо тражити вашу дозволу за дељење ваших података са члановима [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Комисија за ширење средстава]] који прегледавају вашу пријаву за грант. Или можда желите да користите своје Викимедиа корисничко име и лозинку за пријаву и слање информација на веб локацију треће стране, користећи услуге као што су [//openid.net/ OpenID] или [//oauth.net/ OAuth], у том случају ће се ваше информације послати само на веб локација треће стране уз ваше изричито одобрење.

== Који су начини на које можете користити или делити информације о корисницима, као што су истраживање, спровођење или одбрана Викимедијинх веб локација и смерница? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
За нас је важно да будемо сигурни да сви играју по истим правилима, а то понекад значи да морамо истражити и делити одређене податке корисника да бисмо их уверили у то.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
На пример, информације о кориснику могу се делити када [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|ЦхецкУсер]] истражује злоупотребу пројекта, као што је сумња у употребу злонамерних „соцкпуппета“ (дупликата рачуна), вандализам, узнемиравање других корисника или ометајуће понашање. Ако се установи да корисник крши наше [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Услове коришћења]] или друге релевантне смернице, личне информације корисника могу се дати на пример даваоцу услуге, превознику или другом ентитету треће стране како би се помогло у циљању ИП блокова или за подношење жалбе релевантном провајдеру Интернет услуга.
&lt;/div&gt;

Као други пример, ако смо обавештени да је корисник упутио претњу бомбом, можда ћемо морати да пријавимо неке информације у вези са том претњом локалним властима да би спасили животе.

Такође можемо користити личне податке у друге законите добротворне сврхе описане у нашој Политици приватности.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Можете ли ми дати неке примере када бисте моје податке делили са независним провајдерима?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Наравно! На пример, Викимедиа Веб локације се ослањају на пружатеље услуга хостинга, провајдере оптичке мреже, дата центре и остале пружаоце услуга и добављаче услуга. Имамо уговор са овим пружаоцима услуга и они имају приступ вашим подацима само за обављање услуга за нас у складу са овом политиком. Други пут можемо користити независне провајдере да нам помогну у управљању информацијама које чувамо или користимо. На пример, можемо да користимо системе управљања грантовима треће стране да бисмо чували информације о апликантима за грантове и поједноставили наш процес пријаве једноставнијим и ефикаснијим или можемо користити треће провајдере за е-услуге за особље.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Које информације се откривају када кликнем на везу на веб локацији Викимедије која ме води на спољну веб локацију треће стране? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Када кликнете на везу на веб локацији Викимедиа која вас шаље на спољну веб локацију, информације о упућивачу преносе само порекло вашег домена, а не одређену посећену страницу Викимедије, до тог одредишта треће стране. На пример, ако читате чланак на Википедији и кликнете на цитат који вас усмерава на вести на спољној веб локацији, информације о препоручивачу садрже само домену Википедије, а не одређену УРЛ адресу чланка. Ова врста препоручене политике позната је као [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin „origin-when-cross-origin”].
&lt;/div&gt;

На овај начин ограничавамо податке препоруке да бисмо заштитили приватност корисника и избегавали откривање осетљивих података о страницама које прегледавају корисници, а истовремено омогућавамо удружењима и партнерима који се крећу да прикупе збирне информације о промету примљеном са веб локација које управљају Викимедијом. За оне који би желели знати више, а можда би били заинтересовани да имају већу контролу над подацима о препоруци, тим за безбедност Фондације Викимедиа припремио је [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|страницу на Мета]] са додатним детаљима и препорученим алатима.

Иако то покушавамо да избегнемо настојећи да анонимимо податке пре него што их делимо у истраживачке сврхе, желимо да будемо сигурни да сте свесни овог ризика.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Шта су сигнали „Не прати“ („ДНТ“) и како на њих реагује Задужбина Викимедија?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
„Не прати“ или „ДНТ“ је начин да ваш веб претраживач каже веб локацији коју посећујете да не желите да вас прате треће стране чије веб локације нисте посетили, попут аналитичких сервиса, рекламних мрежа и социјалне платформе. Када користите овај механизам, прегледач шаље сигнал који изражава жељу да се ваши лични подаци, посебно у вези са вашим мрежним активностима и мрежним интеракцијама, не проследе трећим лицима. Када прима ДНТ сигнал који вам шаље прегледач, особа или ентитет који је власник веб странице има могућност да поштује или игнорише горе поменути захтев.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Задужбина Викимедија чврсто је посвећена томе да информације које прикупљамо од вас (укључујући ваше мрежне активности и мрежне интеракције са веб локацијама Викимедије) не дели са трећим лицима, осим у специфичним ситуацијама детаљно описаним у одељку „[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Када можемо да делимо Ваше информације]]” наше Политике приватности.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Због ове посвећености заштитимо све и не мењамо своје понашање као одговор на ДНТ сигнал веб претраживача.

Никада вам није потребан налог за читање јавне веб локације Викимедије. У већини случајева вам није потребан налог да бисте дали допринос веб локацији Викимедије. Међутим, постоји неколико ретких случајева где ћете морати да региструјете налог ако желите да дате свој допринос. Локална заједница уредника или сарадника (на пример, заједница Википедије на енглеском или заједница Малајског викиречника) или сама Задужбина Викимедија могу да одлуче да поставе привремена или трајна ограничења на оно што можете променити. На пример, одређена страница може бити привремено ограничена за уређивање да би дозволила само искусним или административним корисницима због вандализма или бриге о ауторским правима. Такође не можете да шаљете садржај попут слика или видео записа без да сте пријављени јер морамо да проверимо да ли су исправна одобрења добијена од власника ауторских права (ако медији већ нису у јавном власништву) да бисмо објављивали садржај.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Викимедијине странице користе јавно доступне историјске ревизије да би постигле консензус, промовисале транспарентност међу сарадницима и уредницима и потврдиле аутентичност садржаја наших веб локација. Стога, након што објавите информације на веб локацијама Викимедије, оне ће бити јавне и вероватно је нећете моћи уклонити. Чак и ако сами уклоните одређени садржај (рецимо из чланка Википедије), он ће и даље остати јавно доступан у делу „историја прегледа“ чланка. Под одређеним околностима можете затражити уклањање странице или датотеке или дела историје странице или датотеке из видљивости јавности (на пример, ако случајно објавите личне податке високог ризика, као што је број ваше кредитне картице). Имајте на уму да одлуке о уклањању (тј. Брисање целог чланка) не доносе се увек централно, а понекад дођу после јавне расправе у заједници Википедије (погледајте [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|политика за брисање]] енглеског за даље референце). Овај поступак не осигурава потпуно или свеобухватно уклањање садржаја или информација објављених на Викимедиа веб локацијама.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Такође можете затражити сузбијање (надзор), како бисте сакрили ревизије, корисничка имена у историјама и записима уређивања или делове појединачних уноса у дневник. Сузбијање је он-вики процес који се односи на специфичне намене. Молимо вас да потражите додатне информације и упутства на [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Мета-Вики страницу на сузбијању]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ако сте регистровани корисник, препоручујемо вам да не користите своје право име као своје корисничко име ако не желите да други имају везу између онога што објавите на Викимедиа Ситес и вашег стварног имена. Можете сазнати више о одабиру свог корисничког имена у [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|политици корисничког имена]] енглеске Википедије. Имајте на уму да је ова Правила корисника применљива само на енглеску Википедију, а различите Википедије имају различита правила. Препоручујемо да проверите политику корисничког имена за пројекат који намеравате да користите како бисте били сигурни да сте у складу са локалном праксом.
&lt;/div&gt;

Ако сте у своје корисничко име већ укључили личне идентификационе податке (као што је ваше право име) и не желите да се лично идентификујете са вашим доприносима, препоручујемо вам да затражите анонимност података (уместо да наставите са поступцима уклањања и сузбијања горе описано) тражењем промене вашег корисничког имена. За информације о томе како да промените своје корисничко име, погледајте [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|страницу Мета-Вики на страници Промена корисничког имена]].

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Процес анонимизације не може осигурати потпуну или свеобухватну анонимизацију свих садржаја или информација објављених на Викимедиа Ситес везаним за ваше претходно корисничко име. Ако вам је захтев одобрен, промена имена ће се догодити само у аутоматски генерисаним записницима (као што су историја страница) у вези са садржајем који сте објавили. Промјена имена неће избрисати спомињања вашег претходног корисничког имена од стране трећих лица. На пример, ако сте променили корисничко име из МицхаелПаул у Овлватцхер345, садржај који сте унели биће приписан Овлватцхер345, али ако вас је други корисник споменуо по имену МицхаелПаул на страници за дискусију, МицхаелПаул ће се и даље појављивати уместо Овлватцхер345.
&lt;/div&gt;

Молимо погледајте нашу [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Политику приватности]] за више информација о вашем избору у вези с нашим коришћењем ваших личних података и како можете да извршите те изборе.

== Чим відрізняється ця Політика приватності? Чи можу я побачити старіші версії? ==

Як і чимало організацій, ми розвинулися та змінились із плином років, і створили чернетку цієї Політики приватності з надією на те, що вона краще віддзеркалюватиме не лише наші поточні практики, але й те, куди ми сподіваємось дістатися в майбутньому. Нашою метою було зробити цю Політику приватності легкою для читання та прозорою там, де йдеться про шляхи й способи збирання й використання інформації для поліпшення розуміння й удосконалення сайтів Вікімедіа для Вас.

Якщо Ви хотіли б прочитати будь-яку з наших попередніх Політик приватності, то ми зберігаємо їх архівні версії, до яких Ви маєте повний доступ. Оскільки текст своєї Політики приватності ми зберігаємо й обслуговуємо у вікі, Ви можете скористатися [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} історією редагувань сторінки], щоб порівняти різні її версії! Версії із суттєвими змінами походять із таких років: [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], та [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Чим відрізняється «стандартний обліковий запис» від «нестандартного облікового запису»?&lt;/span&gt; ==

Стандартний обліковий запис — це той, який Ви можете зареєструвати для того, щоб переглядати чи редагувати основні проєкти Вікімедіа, такі як Вікіпедія чи Вікісховище. Зазвичай для того, щоб створити стандартний обліковий запис для проектів ФВМ Вам не треба вказувати додаткову інформацію окрім імені користувача та пароля; однак якщо Ви створюєте стандартний обліковий запис за допомогою системи, яка належить сторонній особі чи організації, то для Вас може бути обов'язковим зазначення додаткової інформації на кшталт адреси електронної пошти. Нестандартний обліковий запис — це той, який Вам може бути потрібно створити для того, щоб ще більше поглибити свою участь у русі Вікімедіа, і не обмежуватись самим лише читанням чи простим внеском в один із наших основних проектів на кшталт Вікіпедії.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

Наприклад, Якщо Ви хочете зареєструватись на сайтах, що працюють не на вікірушії, таких як [[phab:|Фабрикатор]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]] чи [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|VRT]], або працюєте над якоюсь особливою ініціативою на кшталт Глобальної освіти (Global Education), створення окремого облікового запису для цього може бути обов'язковим, а також реєстрація може вимагати вказування додаткової інформації, як-от адреса електронної пошти, а не самих лише імені користувача й пароля.

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Чи можете ви навести мені якісь приклади різновидів куків, і використання локального зберігання даних? ==

Звісно! Куки (та інші пов'язані технології локального зберігання даних), що використовуються сайтами Вікімедіа, загалом діляться на такі категорії:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Функціональність: ці куки допомагають сайтам Вікімедіа коректно працювати, зокрема — підтримують такі базові функції, як вхід у систему.&lt;/span&gt;
* Налаштування: ці куки зберігають інформацію про Ваші персональні налаштування, щоб ці налаштування можна було запам'ятати й відтворити наступного разу, коли Ви користуватиметесь сайтом.
* Продуктивність та аналіз: ці куки збирають інформацію про те, як Ви використовуєте наш вебсайт, щоб ми могли краще розуміти, як такий вебсайт працює, та покращувати його для Вас та інших користувачів.
* Сторонні особи та організації: ці куки дають нам змогу опрацьовувати ті сервіси, які нам надають сторонні особи й організації, так як кнопки «подобається» та «поширити». Коли стороння особа чи організація надає такі типи сервісів, вони можуть вимагати використання куків, щоб належним чином надавати свої послуги. (Ці куки використовуються виключно за наявності Вашої однозначної згоди.)

Щоб дізнатись більше, будь ласка, відвідайте нашу [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Заяву про куки]].

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Які я маю опції, якщо хочу обмежити використання локального зберігання даних на моєму пристрої? ==

Хоч це й не вичерпний список, але нижче подано деякі з тих дій, які Ви можете виконати, аби обмежити використання локального зберігання даних на своєму пристрої. Ви можете:

* вилучити або вимкнути окремі локально збережені дані в налаштуваннях свого браузера;
* використовувати браузер, який здатен блокувати куки від сторонніх осіб чи організацій; або
* встановити плагін для блокування локального зберігання даних, якщо такий плагін доступний.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Як надсилати листи на електронну пошту, не покидаючи сайти Вікімедіа, і як мені змінити сповіщення, які я отримую? ==

Ви можете змінити налаштування сповіщень, які Ви отримуєте двома способами:

: (а) Клацнувши на посиланні після «Для контролю того, які листи ми Вам надсилаємо, перевірте свої налаштування» внизу будь-якого листа зі сповіщенням, яке ми Вам надсилаємо, як показано нижче; або
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (б) Увійдіть у свій обліковий запис, після чого клацніть «{{int:mypreferences}}» вгорі справа екрану, а тоді виберіть вкладку «{{int:prefs-echo}}».
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|Посилання «{{int:mypreferences}}»]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|Вкладка «{{int:prefs-echo}}»]]

Також Ви маєте можливість увімкнути функцію «Лист користувачеві», яка дозволить іншим користувачам надсилати Вам листи на електрону пошту напряму, просто клацнувши посилання «{{int:emailuser}}» на бічній панелі інструментів на Вашій сторінці користувача. Якщо Ви увімкнете цю функцію, Вашу електронну адресу не бачитимуть інші користувачі, коли Вони до Вас писатимуть (але вона буде видимою для відправника, якщо Ви вирішите відповісти на такого листа). Якщо Ви увімкнете цю функцію, будь-який користувач зможе надіслати Вам листа на електронну пошту, і ми не контролюємо того, що вони пишуть, і наскільки часто вони надсилають Вам свої листи. Ось що треба зробити, щоб увімкнути цю функцію:

: Увійдіть у свій обліковий запис, клацніть на «{{int:mypreferences}}», після чого клацніть вкладку «{{int:prefs-personal}}», та поставте галочку біля «{{int:allowemail}}».

[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|Вкладка «{{int:prefs-personal}}»]]
[[File:4 ENWP Enable Email.png|thumb|center|500px|Опція «{{int:allowemail}}»]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Чи можете ви навести мені приклад використання GPS та інших технологій визначення місця розташування для показу більш релевантного для мене вмісту? ==

Звісно! Якщо Ви використовуєте мобільний застосунок для перегляду Вікіпедії, Ви можете дізнаватись про те, чи є у Вікіпедії статті про якісь визначні місця й об'єкти поблизу Вас, скориставшись кнопкою «{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}. Ваш пристрій попросить Вашого дозволу для визначення та використання Вашого поточного місця перебування, перш ніж, власне, скористатися інформацією про Ваше місце перебування. Якщо Ви захочете випробувати цю функцію на своєму ноутбуці, персональному комп'ютері, чи іншому пристрої, який не має GPS, ця функція використовуватиме інформацію з Вашого браузера для визначення Вашого місця перебування та для того, аби відшукати статті про місця й об'єкти (на кшталт публічних скульптур чи відомих будівель) поблизу Вас.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Що ви маєте на увазі, стверджуючи, що «визначаєте моє географічне місце перебування»? І навіщо Вам це потрібно? ==

Ми використовуємо деякі завантажені продукти на кшталт [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], що дозволяє нам внутрішньо визначати приблизне місце перебування наших користувачів. І кажучи «приблизне» ми саме це й маємо на увазі: GeoIP City DB визначає Ваше місце розташування, показуючи його в центрі території, пов'язаної з Вашим IP, яку можна визначити найточніше. Єдиними можливими отримуваними даними, пов'язаними з відповідною територією, є поштовий код, місто, область/регіон, або країна. Якщо Ви не проживаєте точно в географічному центрі такої найточніше визначеної території, пов'язаної з Вашою IP-адресою, даних, які ми отримуємо, навряд чи буде достатньо для доставки сандвіча до Вас додому.

Ми робимо це, щоб Ви мали змогу отримувати відповідний для Вашого регіону вміст, такий як регіональні сповіщення, оголошення про події та місцеві кампанії зі збору коштів. Щоб дізнатись, яку саме інформацію ми отримуємо для Вашої IP-адреси, можете в будь-який момент завантажити наш [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup інструмент для збору такої інформації — GeoIP], та самостійно перевірити результат.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Чи можете ви навести якісь приклади, коли в мене можуть запитувати дозволу на розкриття моєї інформації? ==

Якщо Ви отримаєте стипендію на участь у [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Вікіманії], ми можемо Вас попросити надати нам дозвіл ділитись Вашою інформацією з місцевим регіональним відділенням Вікімедіа, яке того року організовує Вікіманію, щоб ми могли належним чином організувати Вашу подорож. Або якщо Ви подасте запит на грант, ми можемо попросити Вашого дозволу на те, щоб поділитися Вашою інформацією з членами [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Комітету з розподілу коштів]], які будуть оцінювати Вашу заявку на грант. Або ж Ви можете захотіти використати власні ім'я користувача та пароль із сайтів Вікімедіа, щоб авторизуватися та надсилати інформацію до сторонніх сайтів, користуючись такими сервісами як [//openid.net/ OpenID] чи [//oauth.net/ OAuth]; у такому випадку Вашу інформацію буде надіслано до стороннього сайту виключно за наявності Вашого чіткого дозволу.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Якими можуть бути способи використання чи розкриття Вами інформації про користувача в контексті розслідувань, дотримання та захисту політик сайтів Вікімедіа? ==

Для нас важливо, щоб ми впевнились у тому, що всі грають за однаковими правилами, а іноді це означає, що  нам потрібно розслідувати якесь порушення та поділитися з кимось інформацією про конкретного користувача, щоб переконатись, чи такий користувач грає за тими ж правилами, що й усі інші, чи ні.

Наприклад, інформацію про користувача може бути розкрито, коли [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|чек'юзери]] розслідують можливі зловживання в одному з проектів, такі як використання «ляльок» (альтернативних облікових записів) зі зловмисною метою, вандалізм, переслідування інших користувачів, чи інші типи деструктивної поведінки. Якщо виявиться, що користувач справді порушує наші [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Умови користування]] чи якусь іншу релевантну політику, інформацію про користувача може бути надіслано до постачальника послуг, носія послуг, або іншої сторонньої особи чи організації, наприклад, з метою допомогти визначити цільові IP-адреси для блокування, або щоб надіслати скаргу до відповідного інтернет-провайдера.

Або інший приклад: якщо ми отримаємо інформацію про те, що якийсь користувач заявив про мінування якогось об'єкта, нам, ймовірно, доведеться повідомити місцевим органам влади деяку інформацію, пов'язану з тією загрозою, з метою врятувати людські життя.

Також ми можемо використовувати персональну інформацію для інших законних благодійних цілей, описаних у нашій Політиці приватності.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Чи можете ви навести якісь приклади ситуацій, коли ви могли б розкрити мою інформацію стороннім постачальникам послуг? ==

Звичайно! Наприклад, сайти Вікімедіа покладаються на провайдерів хостингу, провайдерів оптоволоконних мереж, на дата-центри та інших постачальників послуг і підрядників. Ми маємо підписані контракти з цими постачальниками послуг, і вони мають доступ лише до тих Ваших даних, які їм необхідні для надання нам відповідних сервісів згідно з цією політикою. Час від часу ми можемо залучати сторонніх постачальників послуг, аби вони нам допомогли опрацювати інформацію, яку ми зберігаємо, чи яку використовуємо. Наприклад, ми можемо користуватися сторонніми системами управління грантами для зберігання інформації про відправників заявок на гранти, а також для спрощення й підвищення ефективності нашого процесу подачі заявки на грант, або ж ми можемо користуватися послугами сторонніх провайдерів для того, аби забезпечити наших співробітників відповідними сервісами електронної пошти.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Яка моя інформація розкривається, коли я клацаю на посиланні, розміщеному на сайті Вікімедіа, яке веде мене на зовнішній, сторонній сайт? ==

Коли Ви клацаєте на посиланні, розміщеному на сайті Вікімедіа, яке направляє Вас на зовнішній вебсайт, інформація про референта передає сторонній цілі лише домен сайту, а не адресу конкретної відвіданої сторінки Вікімедіа. Наприклад, якщо Ви читаєте статтю у Вікіпедії та клацаєте на зовнішньому посиланні, яке веде Вас на новинну статтю на зовнішньому сайті, інформація про референта містить лише домен Вікіпедії, а не чітку URL-адресу статті. Цей різновид політики щодо референтів відомий як [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin «origin-when-cross-origin»].

Ми обмежуємо інформацію про референта в такий спосіб, аби запевнити захист приватності користувача, а також уникнути розкриття чутливої інформації про сторінки, які користувачі відвідують, водночас дозволяючи афіліатам руху Вікімедіа та його партнерам збирати агреговану інформацію про трафік, що надходить від вебсайтів, якими опікується Фонд Вікімедіа. Для тих, хто хотів би дізнатись більше, і зацікавлений у тому, щоб мати більший контроль над інформацією про референта, Команда безпеки Фонду Вікімедіа підготувала [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|сторінку на Меті]], яка містить деякі додаткові подробиці та рекомендовані інструменти.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Який ризик ре-ідентифікації? ==

У декількох випадках (без залучення сайтів Вікімедіа, наскільки нам відомо!), незалежні дослідники спромоглися пов'язати неперсональну та агреговану інформацію з різних джерел із конкретними користувачами. Хоча ми й намагаємось такого уникати шляхом анонімізації інформації перед її розкриттям для використання її з дослідницькою метою, ми хочемо впевнитись, що Вам відомо про такий ризик.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Чи використовує Фонд Вікімедіа протокол HTTPS на своїх сайтах? ==

Так! Ми впроваджуємо комунікації через виключно HTTPS на всіх сайтах Вікімедіа починаючи з [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. Ми впровадили також декілька пов'язаних функцій, аби ще більше забезпечити наш трафік, перевищивши мінімальні стандарти індустрії, наприклад: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ попереднє завантаження HSTS у браузері], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|степлювання OCSP]], та серверні сертифікати [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]. Ми вбудували підписані мітки часу сертифікатів (SCT) для [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], та увімкнули найкращі у своєму класі опції шифрування, включно з [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] та [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. Ми також [[phab:T147199|відповідним чином позначаємо застарілі типи шифрування]] для їх заміни, перш ніж вони стануть наступною загрозою безпеці. Щоб дізнатися про найсвіжіші здійснені нами зусилля в цьому напрямку, перегляньте нашу [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|сторінку стану HTTPS]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Чи можете ви навести якісь приклади того, як довго ви зберігаєте мої дані? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Це залежить від типу даних, а також способу, в який їх було зібрано. Наприклад, інформація, до якої можна отримати доступ через [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|інструмент для чек'юзерів]], зберігається не довше трьох місяців. Інша інформація, така як IP-адреси, пов'язані із внеском незареєстрованих користувачів, є видимими та зберігаються в історіях редагувань статей безстроково. Ви можете дізнатись більше про те, як ми зберігаємо різні типи даних, у наших [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|настановах щодо зберігання даних]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Чи є якийсь орган під контролем спільноти, який міг би розслідувати потенційні порушення приватності? ==

Група досвідчених користувачів, відома як [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Комісія омбудів]], має такі повноваження й право розслідувати явні та гадані порушення цієї Політики приватності, та давати нам рекомендації щодо того, як краще вирішити проблему з таким явним чи гаданим порушенням.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== У статті Вікіпедії про мене подана застаріла чи неточна інформація! Як мені оновити таку інформацію? ==

Основна [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Політика приватності]] стосується особової інформації наших користувачів. Однак, якщо у статті Вікіпедії подано застарілу або некоректну інформацію про вас, то найкращим способом оновити статтю буде слідувати правилам і процедурам спільноти користувачів. Ви можете залишити коментар на сторінці обговорення статті (натиснувши «обговорення» угорі сторінки, і зробивши редагування там), і написати там будь-яке запитання чи застереження для розгляду іншими редакторами, хто працює над статтею. Якщо ви не бажаєте коментувати сторінку, ви можете отримати допомогу від досвідчених волонтерів Вікімедіа, надіславши листа на {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} або на [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|аналогічну електронну пошту]], що відповідає потрібній мові. Авторами вмісту проєктів Вікімедіа є багато користувачів, які співпрацюють між собою, а основні рішення приймаються консенсусом. Це означає, що статті у Вікіпедії пише, оновлює та приводить у відповідність із правилами глобальна спільнота таких же користувачів, як і Ви.  Фонд Вікімедіа вважає, що загалом саме спільнота має визначати, якому вмісту місце на сторінках проєктів, тому ми заохочуємо Вас використовувати для вирішення потенційних турбот чи суперечок встановлені спільнотою процедури.

== Що це за сигнали «не відстежувати» (DNT) та як Фонд Вікімедіа на них відповідає? ==

«Do Not Track» або «DNT» («не відстежувати») — це спосіб Вашого браузера сказати вебсайту, який Ви відвідуєте, що Ви не хочете, щоб Вас відстежували сторонні особи чи організації, вебсайти яких Ви не відвідуєте, наприклад — аналітичні служби, рекламні мережі та соціальні платформи. Використовуючи цей механізм, Ваш браузер надсилає сигнал, яким виражає Ваше побажання, щоб Ваша персональна інформація, особливо — та, яка стосується Вашої онлайн-активності та взаємодії в мережі, не потрапляла до сторонніх осіб чи організацій. Отримуючи сигнал DNT, надісланий Вашим браузером, особа чи організація, якій належить вебсайт, має вибір — або виконати, або проігнорувати вищезгаданий запит.

Фонд Вікімедіа твердо дотримується принципу нерозкриття інформації, яку ми збираємо від Вас (включно з даними про Вашу онлайн-активність та взаємодію із сайтами Вікімедіа), стороннім особам чи організаціям, за винятком ситуацій, детально описаних у розділі «[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Коли ми можемо ділитися Вашою інформацією]]» нашої Політики приватності.

Зважаючи на відданість цьому принципу, ми захищаємо кожного, і не змінимо свою поведінку у відповідь на DNT-сигнал браузера.

Ви можете знайти більше інформації про технологію «Do Not Track» та пропозицію відповідної політики на сторінках [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us] та [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium’s Do Not Track Specification].

== Я думав, що мені зовсім не потрібен обліковий запис для читання й здійснення внеску! За яких обставин мені довелося б зареєстуватися, щоб читати чи робити внесок? ==

Вам ніколи не буде потрібен обліковий запис для того, щоб читати публічний сайт Вікімедіа. І в більшості випадків обліковий запис Вам не потрібен і для здійснення внеску в якийсь сайт Вікімедіа. Однак, є кілька рідкісних випадків, коли, якщо Ви захочете зробити свій внесок, Вам таки доведеться зареєструватись. Локальна спільнота редакторів чи дописувачів (наприклад, спільнота англійської Вікіпедії, чи спільнота малайського Вікісловника), або й сам Фонд Вікімедіа, можуть вирішити встановити тимчасові чи й постійні обмеження на те, що саме Ви можете редагувати. Наприклад, певна сторінка може бути тимчасово захищеною від редагувань таким чином, що доступ до редагування там матимуть лише зареєстровані користувачі або й лише адміністратори (це може бути спричинено частим вандалізмом чи якимись питаннями дотримання авторських прав). Також без реєстрації Ви не зможете завантажувати такий вміст, як зображення чи відео, оскільки нам для того, щоб використовувати завантажений Вами вміст, треба переконатись, що Ви отримали належний дозвіл на використання такого файлу від власника авторських прав (якщо такий медіафайл ще не перебуває в суспільному надбанні).

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Чи можете Ви мені навести якісь приклади інформації, яку можна переглядати в публічних журналах? ==

Звісно! Публічні журнали можуть містити інформацію про те, коли було створено Ваш обліковий запис, коли Ви вилучили якусь сторінку, або коли Ви надіслали подяку іншому користувачеві. Якщо Ви хотіли б побачити якийсь приклад, можете просто переглянути публічні журнали цієї вікі на сторінці [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Чи можу я вилучити та/або анонімізувати будь-який вміст, опублікований мною на будь-якому сайті Вікімедіа, якщо я не хочу, щоб мою особу ідентифікували? Якщо так, то як? ==

Сайти Вікімедіа використовують публічно доступні історії редагувань для вироблення консенсусу, просування прозорості серед дописувачів та редакторів, та підтвердження автентичності вмісту на наших сайтах. Тому, після того, як Ви опублікуєте якусь інформацію на одному із сайтів Вікімедіа, вона автоматично стає публічною, і Ви навряд чи зможете вилучити її. Навіть якщо Ви вилучите якийсь вміст (наприклад, зі статті Вікіпедії) самостійно, він все одно залишатиметься публічно видимим через історію редагувань сторінки, на яку можна перейти через вкладку «переглянути історію». За певних обставин Ви можете подати запит на вилучення сторінки чи файлу, або частини історії редагувань такої сторінки чи файлу, щоб прибрати їх публічну видимість (наприклад, коли Ви випадково опублікуєте чутливу персональну інформацію на кшталт номера банківської карти). Будь ласка, майте на увазі, що рішення про вилучення (тобто вилучення цілої статті) не завжди робляться централізовано, за чиїмось одноосібним рішенням, і натомість іноді такому вилученню передує публічне обговорення в межах спільноти (див. [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|політику щодо вилучення]] в англійській Вікіпедії, щоб дізнатися більше). Ця процедура не гарантує повного чи суттєвого вилучення вмісту, чи інформації, розміщеної на сайтах Вікімедіа.

Також Ви можете подати запит на приховування (oversight), що дозволить приховати видимість версій, імен користувачів у історіях редагувань чи журналах, або частин окремих записів у журналах навіть від адміністраторів. Приховування — це внутрішній процес у вікі, який можна застосовувати лише в деяких дуже специфічних випадках. Щоб дізнатися більше чи прочитати інструкції, будь ласка, перегляньте сторінку [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|про приховування на Мета-вікі]].

Якщо Ви зареєстрований користувач, ми наполегливо рекомендуємо Вам не використовувати своє справжнє ім'я як ім'я користувача, якщо Ви не хочете, щоб інші мали змогу пов'язати те, що Ви публікуєте на сайтах Вікімедіа з Вашим реальним іменем. Можете дізнатись більше про вибір імені користувача в [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|політиці щодо імен користувачів]] в англійській Вікіпедії. Будь ласка, зверніть увагу, що ця Політика щодо імен користувачів застосовна лише в англійській Вікіпедії, тоді як інші Вікіпедії мають свої власні політики. Рекомендуємо Вам переглянути політику щодо імен користувачів у тому проекті, яким Ви маєте намір користуватися, аби переконатись, що Ваш вибір відповідатиме місцевій практиці.

Якщо Ви вже включили в своє ім'я користувача інформацію, що може ідентифікувати Вашу особу (таку як Ваше реальне ім'я), однак Ви не хочете, щоб Ваш внесок пов'язували з Вашим реальним іменем, рекомендуємо Вам подати запит на анонімізацію такої інформації (замість того, щоб вдатися до процесів вилучення й приховування, описаних вище) шляхом подання запиту на перейменування свого облікового запису. Щоб дізнатись, як змінити своє ім'я користувача, перегляньте [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|відповідну довідкову сторінку на Мета-вікі]].

Процес анонімізації не може запевнити повної чи суттєвої анонімізації всього вмісту, чи інформації, розміщеної на сайтах Вікімедіа, пов'язаних із Вашим попереднім іменем користувача. Якщо Ваш запит виконають, зміна імені користувача відбудеться лише в автоматично згенерованих журналах (таких як історії редагувань), пов'язаних з тим вмістом, який Ви встигли до цього опублікувати. Зміна імені користувача не вилучить згадок Вашого попереднього імені користувача, здійснених сторонніми особами. Наприклад, якщо Ви змінили своє ім'я користувача з MichaelPaul на Owlwatcher345, весь попередній доданий Вами вміст буде приписаний Вашому новому імені користувача — Owlwatcher345, але якщо інший користувач згадав Вас на ім'я MichaelPaul на якійсь сторінці обговорення, MichaelPaul може продовжувати перебувати у вжитку замість Owlwatcher345.

Будь ласка, звіряйтеся з нашою [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Політикою приватності]], коли Вам треба прийняти якесь рішення, яке стосується того, яким чином ми використовуємо Вашу особову інформацію, а також яким чином можна передбачити наслідки таких рішень.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Back to Privacy Policy&lt;/span&gt;]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Back to Privacy Policy&lt;/span&gt;]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:4 ENWP Enable Email.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; option]]
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Ո՞րն է «ստանդարտ հաշիվը» և «ոչ ստանդարտ հաշիվը»։&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Ստանդարտ հաշիվը այն է, որը գրանցվելով հնարավորություն է տալիս որոնել կամ խմբագրել Վիքիմեդիա հիմնական նախագծերում՝ Վիքիպեդիա և Վիքիմեդիա պահեստ։ ՎՄՀ-ի հետ ստանդարտ հաշիվ ստեղծելու համար, սովորաբար, հարկավոր չէ տրամադրել ավելին, քան մասնակցային անուն և գաղտնաբառ; այնուամենայնիվ, եթե դուք ստեղծում եք ստանդարտ հաշիվ՝ օգտագործելով երրորդ կողմի կողմից վարվող համակարգ, ապա ձեզանից պահանջվում է տրամադրել լրացուցիչ տեղեկատվություն, օրինակ՝ էլ․փոստի հասցե: Ոչ ստանդարտ հաշիվը այն է, որին գրանցվելով՝ բացի կարդալուց և հիմնական նախագծերում, օրինակ՝ Վիքիպեդիա, ներդրումներ կատարելուց, կարող եք մասնակցել նաև Վիքիմեդիա շարժմանը։
&lt;br/&gt;
Օրինակ, եթե հաշիվ եք ստեղծում ոչ վիքիի կայքերում, ինչպիսիք են [$phabricatorlink Phabricator-ը], [$gerritlink Gerrit-ը] կամ [[$otrslink|OTRS-ը]], կամ աշխատում եք հատուկ նախաձեռնության վրա, ինչպիսին է Գլոբալ կրթությունը, հնարավոր է, որ ձեզնից պահանջվի գրանցվել մասնակցելու համար, իսկ այդ հաշիվների գրանցման համար հաճախ մասնակցային անունից և գաղտաբառից բացի, պահանջվում է ավելի շատ տեղեկատվություն, օրինակ՝ էլ․ փոստի հասցեն։
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.

== ما المختلف في سياسة الخصوصية هذه؟ هل يمكنني أن أرى إصدارات قديمة؟ ==

مثل العديد من المنظمات، لقد تطورنا وتغيرنا على مر السنين، وقمنا بصياغة سياسة الخصوصية هذه على أمل أنها ستعكس على نحو أفضل ليس فقط ممارساتنا الحالية بل أيضاً نأمل أن نخطو في المستقبل. كانت أهدافنا تقضي بجعل سياسة الخصوصية هذا سهلة القراءة وشفافة حول الطريقة التي نجمع بها المعلومات ونستخدمها من أجل فهم أفضل وتحسين مواقع ويكيميديا لك.

في حال رغبت في قراءة أي من سياسات الخصوصية السابقة لدينا، فإننا نتيح الوصول إلى الإصدارات السابقة لسياسات الخصوصية في المحفوظات للاطلاع عليها. بما أننا نحتفظ بسياسة الخصوصية على ويكي، يمكنك استخدام  تاريخ الصفحة  لمقارنة التنقيحات! والتنقيحات الرئيسية هي من   [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], و[{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;ما هو &quot;الحساب القياسي&quot; في مقابل &quot;الحساب غير القياسي&quot;؟&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
الحساب القياسي هو حساب يمكنك دخوله لتصفح أو تحرير مشاريع ويكيميديا الرئيسية مثل ويكيبيديا أو ويكيميديا كومونز. عادة أنت لست بحاجة لتوفير أكثر من اسم مستخدم وكلمة سر لإنشاء حساب قياسي مع مؤسسة ويكيميديا؛ إلا أنه، لو قمت بإنشاء حساب قياسي باستخدام نظام يدار بواسطة طرف ثالث، فمن الممكن أن تكون مطالبا بتوفير معلومات إضافية، مثل عنوان بريد إلكتروني. حساب غير قياسي هو حساب يمكنك دخوله للمشاركة في حركة ويكيميديا بطريقة أكثر تعمقا وخارجة عن القراءة أو المساهمة في أحد المشاريع الرئيسية لدينا مثل ويكيبيديا.
&lt;br/&gt;
على سبيل المثال، إذا قمت بتسجيل حساب في [$bugzillalink بجزيللا], [$gerritlink Gerrit], أو [[$otrslink|OTRS]]  أو العمل على مبادرة خاصة مثل التعليم العالمي، قد يُطلب منك تسجيل حساب للمشاركة وتسجيل تلك الحسابات قد يتطلب معلومات إضافية أخرى غير اسم المستخدم وكلمة المرور، مثل عنوان بريد إلكتروني.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

== هل يمكن أن تعطيني بعض الأمثلة على أنواع الكوكيز التي تستخدمها وكيف تستخدم التخزين المحلي؟ ==

بالتأكيد!  ملفات تعريف الارتباط (وما يتصل بها من تكنولوجيا التخزين LocalStorage) المستخدمة من قبل مواقع ويكيميديا ​تندرج عموماً في الفئات التالية:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;الوظيفة: هذه الملفات تساعد في عمل مواقع ويكيميديا، بما في ذلك الميزات الأساسية مثل تسجيل الدخول.&lt;/span&gt;
*  التفضيلات: تقوم ملفات تعريف الارتباط هذه بتخزين تفضيلاتك، بحيث يمكن أن تذكرها عندما تستخدم الموقع مرة أخرى.
*  الأداء وتحليل: تقوم ملفات تعريف الارتباط هذه بجمع معلومات حول كيفية استخدام موقعنا على الإنترنت، حتى نتمكن من الفهم بشكل أفضل لطريقة عمل الموقع وتحسينه لك وللمستخدمين الآخرين.
* الطرف الثالث: هذه الكوكيز تسمح لنا بعرض الخدمات المقدمة من قبل أطراف ثالثة، مثل أزرار &quot;الإعجاب&quot; و &quot;المشاركة&quot;. عندما يقدم طرف ثالث هذه الأنواع من الخدمات، ربما يطالبون مقابل ذلك باستخدام الكوكيز. (وسيتم استخدامها فقط بموافقتك.)

لديك أيضاً خيار تشغيل ميزة &quot;إرسال بريد الإكتروني لهذا المستخدم&quot; التي تسمح للمستخدمين الآخرين من مراسلتك مباشرة بالنقر على &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; في قائمة الأدوات في صفحة المستخدم الخاصة بك. في حال قمت بتشغيل هذه الميزة، لن يتم الكشف عن عنوان البريد الإلكتروني الخاص بك عندما يقوم المستخدمون الآخرون بالاتصال بك (إلا أنه سيتم الكشف عنه في حال قمت بالرد). إذا قمت بتشغيل هذه الميزة، يمكن لأي مستخدم آخر ارسال بريد إلكتروني لك، ونحن لا نتحكم بماهية أو بعدد المراسلات الخاصة بك. ويمكنك تشغيل هذه الميزة كما يلي:

: تسجيل الدخول إلى حسابك، النقر على &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;، ثم النقر على &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;، والتحقق من صندوق &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;.

== هل يمكن أن تعطيني مثالاً على كيفية استخدام جهاز تحديد المواقع  وتكنولوجيات تحديد المواقع الأخرى لبيان المزيد من المحتويات ذات الصلة؟ ==

بالتأكيد! في حال كنت تستخدم تطبيقات ويكيبيديا الجوالة، يمكنك معرفة ما إذا كانت هناك مقالات عن الأماكن والأشياء المتواجدة بالقرب منك وذلك باستخدام زر &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot;. سوف يطلب جهازك منك الموافقة على تحديد واستخدام موقعك الحالي قبل القيام فعلياً باستخدام المعلومات الخاصة بموقعك. في حال تمكنت من الوصول إلى هذه الميزة على جهاز الكمبيوتر المحمول الخاص بك، أو سطح المكتب، أو أي جهاز بدون نظام تحديد المواقع، ستقوم هذه الميزة باستخدام المعلومات الخاصة بك من المتصفح لديك لمعرفة موقعك وإيجاد مقالات عن الأماكن والأشياء بالقرب منك (مثل المنحوتات العامة أو المباني الشهيرة).

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== ماذا يعني &quot;استنتاج موقعي الجغرافي&quot;؟ ولم تحتاج للقيام بذلك؟ ==

نحن نستخدم بعض المنتجات التي تم تنزيلها، مثل [//www.maxmind.com/en/city  MaxMind’s GeoIP City DB] والتي تسمح لنا بتحديد بشكل داخلي الموقع الجغرافي التقريبي لمستخدمينا. وعندما نقول &quot;تقريبي&quot;، فإننا نعني ذلك: يقوم GeoIP City DB بحساب موقعك في مركز بيانات المنطقة الأكثر دقة المرتبطة ببروتوكول الإنترنت الخاص بك. الاحتمالات الممكنة فقط لبيانات المنطقة المرتبطة هي الرمز البريدي، المدينة، المنطقة، أو البلد. إذا لم يتم تحديد وضعك الدائم في المنطقة الجغرافية المرتبطة بعنوان بروتوكول الإنترنت الخاص بك، فان البيانات التي نتلقاها لن تكون كافية لتسليم شطيرة لك.

ونحن نفعل ذلك بحيث يمكنك الحصول على محتوى إقليمي مناسب مثل الإشعارات المحلية، الإعلانات عن الأحداث، وحملات لجمع التبرعات المحلية. لمعرفة ما هي المعلومات التي لدينا في السجلات عن عنوان بروتوكول الإنترنت الخاص بك، يمكنك تحميل [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] خدمة أداة البحث عن بروتوكول الإنترنت الجغرافي في أي وقت، وقم بمطالعة النتيجة.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== ما هي بعض الأمثلة عن منحك الإذن لمشاركة المعلومات الخاصة بي؟ ==

في حال تلقيت منحة دراسية للذهاب إلى [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ ويكيمانيا]، قد نطلب إذنك لمشاركة المعلومات الخاصة بك مع الفرع المحلي لاستضافة ويكيمانيا ذلك العام حتى نتمكن من القيام بترتيبات السفر المناسبة. أو في حال تقدمت بطلب للحصول على منحة، قد نطلب إذنك لمشاركة المعلومات الخاصة بك مع أعضاء [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|لجنة منح الأموال]] لمراجعة طلب المنحة الخاص بك. أو قد ترغب في استخدام اسم المستخدم وكلمة المرور في ويكيميديا للدخول وإرسال معلومات إلى موقع طرف ثالث، وذلك باستخدام خدمات مثل [//openid.net/ OpenID] أو  [//oauth.net/ OAuth]، وفي هذه الحالة، سيتم إرسال المعلومات الخاصة بك فقط إلى موقع طرف ثالث بإذن صريح منك.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== ما هي السبل التي تستطيع استخدامها أو أن تشاركنا معلومات مستخدم مثلا للبحث أو للتحقيق أو للدفاع عن مواقع وسياسات ويكيميديا؟ ==

من المهم بالنسبة لنا الجزم بأن الجميع ملتزمون بنفس القواعد وأحياناً يعني ذلك أننا بحاجة إلى بحث وتبادل معلومات محددة عن المستخدمين للتأكد من التزامهم.

على سبيل المثال، يمكن مشاركة معلومات المستخدم عندما يقوم  [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|مدقق المستخدم]] بالبحث في إنتهاكات أي مشروع، مثل الاستخدام المشتبه به لـ&quot;دمية جورب&quot; خبيثة (حسابات ثانية)، والتخريب، والتنمر على المستخدمين الآخرين، أو السلوك المضطرب. في حال وجود انتهاك من قبل أي عضو [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|لشروط الاستخدام]]  أو السياسات الأخرى ذات الصلة، فقد يتم الافصاح عن المعلومات الشخصية للمستخدم إلى مزود خدمة، ناقل، أو أي كيان طرف ثالث، وذلك للمساعدة في استهداف كتل بروتوكول الإنترنت أو لتقديم شكوى إلى مزود خدمة الإنترنت ذي الصلة.

وكمثال آخر، في حال تم إبلاغنا أن المستخدم أطلق تهديداً بوجود قنبلة، فقد يتعين علينا تقديم بعض المعلومات المتعلقة بهذا التهديد إلى السلطات المحلية من أجل إنقاذ الأرواح.

يمكن لنا أيضًا استخدام المعلومات الشخصية لأغراض خيرية مشروعة أخرى موضحة في سياستنا الخصوصية.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== هل يمكن إعطائي بعض الأمثلة عن الظروف التي ستشاركون فيها المعلومات الخاصة بي مع مزودي طرف ثالث؟ ==

بطبيعة الحال! على سبيل المثال، مواقع ويكيميديا تعتمد على مزودي خدمات الاستضافة، ومزودي شبكة الألياف البصرية، ومراكز البيانات، وغيرهم من مزودي الخدمات والمقاولين. لقد أبرمنا عقداً مع مزودي هذه الخدمات، ويحق لهم فقط الوصول الى البيانات الخاصة بك لأداء الخدمات لنا بما يتفق مع هذه السياسة. وفي أحيان أخرى، قد نستخدم مزودي طرف ثالث لمساعدتنا على إدارة المعلومات التي نخزنها أو نستخدمها. على سبيل المثال، قد نستخدم نظم إدارة المنح الخاصة بأطراف ثالثة لاستيعاب معلومات مقدم طلب المنحة وتبسيط عملية طلبنا بشكل أكثر كفاءة أو قد نستخدم مزودي طرف ثالث لخدمات البريد الإلكتروني للموظفين.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== ماهي المعلومات التي يتم الكشف عنها عند النقر فوق رابط على موقع ويكيميديا ينقلك إلى موقع آخر خارجي؟ ==

عندما تنقر فوق رابط على موقع ويكيميديا يحولك إلى موقع خارجي، فإن معلومات الإحالة تنقل فقط إلى وجهة الطرف الخارجية هذه، المجال الأصلي الخاص بك، وليس بالتحديد صفحة ويكيميديا التي كنت بصدد زيارتها. على سبيل المثال، إذا كنت تقرأ مقالة على ويكيبيديا ونقرت على مصدر يوجهك إلى مقال إخباري على موقع خارجي، فإن معلومات المرجع لا تحتوي إلا على نطاق ويكيبيديا، وليس عنوان URL الخاص بالمقال المحدد. يُعرف هذا النوع من سياسة الإحالة باسم [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;أصل-متى-عكس-آصل&quot;].

نحن نحصر معلومات الإحالة بهذه الطريقة لحماية خصوصية المستخدم، ونتجنب الكشف عن معلومات حساسة حول الصفحات التي يشاهدها المستخدمون، بينما نسمح للشركات التابعة والشركاء بالتقاط معلومات مجمعة عن حركة المرور الواردة من مواقع الويب التي تديرها ويكيميديا. بالنسبة للذين يرغبون في معرفة المزيد، وقد يكونون مهتمين بتحكم أكبر في معلومات المُحيل، أعد فريق سلامة مؤسسة ويكيميديا [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|صفحة على ميتا]] تحمل بعض التفاصيل والأدوات الموصى بها.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== ما هي مخاطر إعادة التعريف؟ ==

وفي بعض [[$netflixprizelink|الحالات]] (لا تشمل مواقع ويكيميديا بقدر ما نعلم!)، تمكن باحثون مستقلون من ربط المعلومات غير الشخصية والمجمّعة من مصادر مختلفة عن طريق مستخدمين معينين. بينما نحاول تجنب ذلك عن طريق حجب المعلومات عن الهوية قبل مشاركتها من أجل أغراض البحث، نحن نرغب أن تكون على علم مسبق بهذه المخاطر.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== هل تستخدم مؤسسة ويكيميديا HTTPS على مواقعها؟ ==

نعم فعلا! نحن ننفذ اتصالات HTTPS فقط على جميع مواقع ويكيميديا منذ [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ سنة 2015]. لقد قمنا أيضًا بتنفيذ العديد من التدابير ذات الصلة لزيادة تأمين حركة المرور الخاصة بنا بما يتجاوز المعايير الدنيا المعمول بها، بما في ذلك: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]] و [//hstspreload.org/ التحميل المسبق]، و[[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|تدبيس OCSP]]، وشهادات الخادم [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]. قمنا بادراج طوابع زمنية مضمونة وموقعة من أجل [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|شفافية الشهادات]]، مع تمكين خيارات التشفير الأفضل في فئتها، بما في ذلك [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] و[//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. نحن أيضًا [[phab:T147199|لا نحبذ استعمال شفرات بالية]] الا في حالات الطوارئ. لمعرفة آخر ما لدينا من أشغال، راجع [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|وضع حالة HTTPS]].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.

== هناك معلومات قديمة أو غير دقيقة عني في مقالة في ويكيبيديا! كيف يمكنني تحديث المعلومات الخاصة بي؟ ==

تم تحرير ويكيميديا بشكل تعاوني وبتوافق الآراء. مما يعني تحرير تلك المعلومات في مقالات ويكيبيديا، وتحديثها وحمايتها من قبل مجتمع عالمي من المستخدمين أمثالك. في حال كنت موضوعاً لمقالة في ويكيبيديا أو ورد اسمك في صفحة نقاش وتعتقد أنها تحتوي على معلومات غير دقيقة أو قديمة عنك، يتعين عليك زيارة سياسات وإجراءات محتوى مجموعة المستخدم لمعالجتها. يمكنك الحصول على مساعدة بشأن هذه المعلومات عن طريق البريد الإلكتروني {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}. إن مؤسسة ويكيميديا ''لا'' تتدخل في نزاعات متعلقة بالمحتوى وتعتقد أن العمل مع المجموعة هو أفضل وسيلة لحل النزاعات المحتملة.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== ما هي إشارات عدم التتبع (&quot;DNT&quot;) وكيف تستجيب مؤسسة ويكيميديا لها؟ ==

&quot;لا تتبع&quot; أو &quot;DNT&quot; هي وسيلة لمتصفح الويب الخاص بك لإخبار موقع الويب الذي تزوره أنك لا تريد أن تتعقبك أطراف ثالثة لم تزر مواقعها، مثل خدمات التحليل والشبكات الإعلانية والمنصات الاجتماعية. عند استخدام هذه الآلية، يتم إرسال إشارة من قبل متصفحك، تتضمن عدم رغبتك في نقل معلوماتك الشخصية، خاصة فيما يتعلق بأنشطتك عبر الإنترنت وتفاعلاتك في الشبكة، إلى جهات خارجية. عند تلقي إشارة DNT المرسلة عن طريق المتصفح الخاص بك، فإن الشخص أو الكيان صاحب الموقع لديه خيار إما تلبية الطلب المذكور أعلاه وإما تجاهله.

تلتزم مؤسسة ويكيميديا التزاما وثيقا بعدم تبادل المعلومات التي نجمعها منك (بما في ذلك أنشطتك عبر الإنترنت وتفاعلات الشبكة مع مواقع ويكيميديا) مع أي أطراف ثالثة، باستثناء الحالات المحددة المفصلة في قسم &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|متى يمكننا مشاركة معلوماتك]]&quot; من سياسة الخصوصية الخاصة بنا.

بسبب هذا الالتزام، فإننا نحمي الجميع، ولا نغير سلوكنا استجابةً لإشارة DNT لمتصفح الويب.

== اعتقدت أنني لم أكن بحاجة إلى حساب للقراءة أو للمساهمة! تحت أي ظروف أحتاج للتسجيل للقراءة أو للمساهمة؟ ==

لن تحتاج أبدًا إلى حساب لقراءة موقع عام من ويكيميديا. وفي معظم الحالات، لا تحتاج إلى حساب للمساهمة في موقع ويكيميديا. ولكن، هناك بعض الحالات النادرة التي ستحتاج فيها إلى تسجيل حساب إذا كنت ترغب في المساهمة. قد يقرر مجتمع محلي من المحررين أو المساهمين (على سبيل المثال، مجتمع ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية أو مجتمع ويكاموس الملايو) أو مؤسسة ويكيميديا نفسها فرض قيود مؤقتة أو دائمة على ما يمكنك تغييره. على سبيل المثال، قد يتم تقييد صفحة معينة مؤقتًا من التحرير للسماح فقط للمستخدمين ذوي الخبرة أو الإدارة بسبب  كثرة التخريب أو مخاوف من التعدي على حقوق التأليف. لا يجوز لك أيضًا تحميل محتوى مثل الصور أو مقاطع الفيديو دون تسجيل الدخول لأننا نحتاج إلى التحقق من أنه قد تم الحصول على الأذونات المناسبة من صاحب الحقوق الأدبية للمحتوى (ما لم يكن موجودا مسبقا تحت الملكية العامة) لنشره.

== هل يمكنني حذف و/أو إخفاء هوية أي محتوى أقوم بنشره على أي موقع من مواقع ويكيميديا، إذا كنت لا أرغب في الكشف عن شخصيتي؟ إذا نعم، فكيف؟ ==

تستخدم مواقع ويكيميديا ​​تاريخ مراجعة متاح للعموم لبناء التوافق، وتعزيز الشفافية بين المساهمين والمحررين، وتأكيد صحة محتوى مواقعنا. لذلك، بمجرد نشر المعلومات على مواقع ويكيميديا، تصبح عامة ولن تتمكن على الأرجح من إزالتها. حتى إذا قمت بإزالة محتوى معين (على سبيل المثال من مقالة ويكيبيديا) بنفسك، فسيظل متاحًا للعموم في قسم &quot;تاريخ&quot; من المقالة. في ظل ظروف معينة، قد تستطيع طلب إزالة صفحة أو ملف أو جزء من تاريخ الصفحة أو الملف من المشاهدة العامة (على سبيل المثال، إذا قمت بنشر معلومات شخصية عالية الخطورة بطريق الخطأ مثل رقم بطاقة الائتمان الخاصة بك). يرجى ملاحظة أن قرارات الإزالة (أي حذف مقالة بأكملها) لا تتخذ دائمًا بشكل مركزي، وأحيانًا تأتي بعد نقاش عام في مجتمع ويكيبيديا (انظر ويكيبيديا [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|سياسة الحذف]] لمزيد من المراجع). لا يضمن هذا الإجراء الإزالة الكاملة أو الشاملة للمحتوى أو المعلومات المنشورة على مواقع ويكيميديا.

يمكنك أيضًا طلب منع (إشراف)، لإخفاء المراجعات أو أسماء المستخدمين في تحرير السجلات والسجلات أو أجزاء من إدخالات السجل الفردية. الحذف هو عملية داخل الويكي وله استخدامات محددة. يرجى الرجوع إلى [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|صفحة الحذف على الميتا]] للحصول على المزيد من المعلومات والتعليمات.

إذا كنت مستخدمًا مسجلاً، فنحن نشجعك على عدم استخدام اسمك الحقيقي كاسم مستخدم إذا كنت لا تريد أن يقيم الآخرون صلة بين ما تنشره على مواقع ويكيميديا واسمك الحقيقي. يمكنك معرفة المزيد حول اختيار اسم المستخدم الخاص بك في [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|سياسة اسم المستخدم]] على ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية. يرجى ملاحظة أن سياسة اسم المستخدم هذه تنطبق فقط على ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية، وأن الويكيبيديا الأخرى لديها سياسات مختلفة. نوصي بالتحقق من سياسة اسم المستخدم في المشروع الذي تنوي استخدامه للتأكد من التزامك بالممارسات المحلية.

إذا كنت قد أدرجت بالفعل معلومات تعريف شخصية (مثل اسمك الحقيقي) في اسم المستخدم الخاص بك ولا تريد أن تحدد هويتك بمساهماتك، فنحن نشجعك على طلب إخفاء الهوية من المعلومات (بدلاً من متابعة عمليات الإزالة والحذف المذكورة أعلاه) عن طريق طلب تغيير اسم المستخدم الخاص بك. للحصول على معلومات حول كيفية تغيير اسم المستخدم الخاص بك، راجع [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|صفحة تغيير اسم المستخدم على الميتا]].

لا يمكن أن تضمن عملية إخفاء الهوية إخفاء الهوية الكاملة أو الشاملة لجميع المحتوى أو المعلومات المنشورة على مواقع ويكيميديا المتعلقة باسم المستخدم السابق الخاص بك. إذا تم قبول طلبك، فلن يحدث تغيير الاسم إلا في السجلات التي يتم إنشاؤها تلقائيًا (مثل تاريخ الصفحة) بالاقتران مع المحتوى الذي نشرته. لن يؤدي تغيير الاسم إلى حذف إشارات اسم المستخدم السابق من قِبل جهات خارجية. على سبيل المثال، إذا قمت بتغيير اسم المستخدم الخاص بك من MichaelPaul إلى Owlwatcher345، فسيُنسب المحتوى الذي ساهمت به إلى Owlwatcher345، ولكن إذا ذكرك مستخدم آخر باسم MichaelPaul في صفحة مناقشة، فسيستمر MichaelPaul في الظهور بدلاً من Owlwatcher345.

يرجى الرجوع إلى [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|سياسة الخصوصية]] للحصول على مزيد من المعلومات حول اختياراتك فيما يتعلق باستخدامنا لمعلوماتك الشخصية وكيف يمكنك ممارسة هذه الخيارات.

== ما المختلف في سياسة الخصوصية هذه؟ هل يمكنني أن أرى إصدارات قديمة؟ ==

مثل العديد من المنظمات، لقد تطورنا وتغيرنا على مر السنين، وقمنا بصياغة سياسة الخصوصية هذه على أمل أنها ستعكس على نحو أفضل ليس فقط ممارساتنا الحالية بل أيضاً نأمل أن نخطو في المستقبل. كانت أهدافنا تقضي بجعل سياسة الخصوصية هذا سهلة القراءة وشفافة حول الطريقة التي نجمع بها المعلومات ونستخدمها من أجل فهم أفضل وتحسين مواقع ويكيميديا لك.

في حال رغبت في قراءة أي من سياسات الخصوصية السابقة لدينا، فإننا نتيح الوصول إلى الإصدارات السابقة لسياسات الخصوصية في المحفوظات للاطلاع عليها. بما أننا نحتفظ بسياسة الخصوصية على ويكي، يمكنك استخدام  تاريخ الصفحة  لمقارنة التنقيحات! والتنقيحات الرئيسية هي من   [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], و[{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;ما هو &quot;الحساب القياسي&quot; في مقابل &quot;الحساب غير القياسي&quot;؟&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
الحساب القياسي هو حساب يمكنك دخوله لتصفح أو تحرير مشاريع ويكيميديا الرئيسية مثل ويكيبيديا أو ويكيميديا كومونز. عادة أنت لست بحاجة لتوفير أكثر من اسم مستخدم وكلمة سر لإنشاء حساب قياسي مع مؤسسة ويكيميديا؛ إلا أنه، لو قمت بإنشاء حساب قياسي باستخدام نظام يدار بواسطة طرف ثالث، فمن الممكن أن تكون مطالبا بتوفير معلومات إضافية، مثل عنوان بريد إلكتروني. حساب غير قياسي هو حساب يمكنك دخوله للمشاركة في حركة ويكيميديا بطريقة أكثر تعمقا وخارجة عن القراءة أو المساهمة في أحد المشاريع الرئيسية لدينا مثل ويكيبيديا.
&lt;br/&gt;
على سبيل المثال، إذا قمت بتسجيل حساب في [$bugzillalink بجزيللا], [$gerritlink Gerrit], أو [[$otrslink|OTRS]]  أو العمل على مبادرة خاصة مثل التعليم العالمي، قد يُطلب منك تسجيل حساب للمشاركة وتسجيل تلك الحسابات قد يتطلب معلومات إضافية أخرى غير اسم المستخدم وكلمة المرور، مثل عنوان بريد إلكتروني.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

== هل يمكن أن تعطيني بعض الأمثلة على أنواع الكوكيز التي تستخدمها وكيف تستخدم التخزين المحلي؟ ==

بالتأكيد!  ملفات تعريف الارتباط (وما يتصل بها من تكنولوجيا التخزين LocalStorage) المستخدمة من قبل مواقع ويكيميديا ​تندرج عموماً في الفئات التالية:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;الوظيفة: هذه الملفات تساعد في عمل مواقع ويكيميديا، بما في ذلك الميزات الأساسية مثل تسجيل الدخول.&lt;/span&gt;
*  التفضيلات: تقوم ملفات تعريف الارتباط هذه بتخزين تفضيلاتك، بحيث يمكن أن تذكرها عندما تستخدم الموقع مرة أخرى.
*  الأداء وتحليل: تقوم ملفات تعريف الارتباط هذه بجمع معلومات حول كيفية استخدام موقعنا على الإنترنت، حتى نتمكن من الفهم بشكل أفضل لطريقة عمل الموقع وتحسينه لك وللمستخدمين الآخرين.
* الطرف الثالث: هذه الكوكيز تسمح لنا بعرض الخدمات المقدمة من قبل أطراف ثالثة، مثل أزرار &quot;الإعجاب&quot; و &quot;المشاركة&quot;. عندما يقدم طرف ثالث هذه الأنواع من الخدمات، ربما يطالبون مقابل ذلك باستخدام الكوكيز. (وسيتم استخدامها فقط بموافقتك.)

== هل يمكن أن تعطيني مثالاً على كيفية استخدام جهاز تحديد المواقع  وتكنولوجيات تحديد المواقع الأخرى لبيان المزيد من المحتويات ذات الصلة؟ ==

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== ماذا يعني &quot;استنتاج موقعي الجغرافي&quot;؟ ولم تحتاج للقيام بذلك؟ ==

نحن نستخدم بعض المنتجات التي تم تنزيلها، مثل [//www.maxmind.com/en/city  MaxMind’s GeoIP City DB] والتي تسمح لنا بتحديد بشكل داخلي الموقع الجغرافي التقريبي لمستخدمينا. وعندما نقول &quot;تقريبي&quot;، فإننا نعني ذلك: يقوم GeoIP City DB بحساب موقعك في مركز بيانات المنطقة الأكثر دقة المرتبطة ببروتوكول الإنترنت الخاص بك. الاحتمالات الممكنة فقط لبيانات المنطقة المرتبطة هي الرمز البريدي، المدينة، المنطقة، أو البلد. إذا لم يتم تحديد وضعك الدائم في المنطقة الجغرافية المرتبطة بعنوان بروتوكول الإنترنت الخاص بك، فان البيانات التي نتلقاها لن تكون كافية لتسليم شطيرة لك.

ونحن نفعل ذلك بحيث يمكنك الحصول على محتوى إقليمي مناسب مثل الإشعارات المحلية، الإعلانات عن الأحداث، وحملات لجمع التبرعات المحلية. لمعرفة ما هي المعلومات التي لدينا في السجلات عن عنوان بروتوكول الإنترنت الخاص بك، يمكنك تحميل [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] خدمة أداة البحث عن بروتوكول الإنترنت الجغرافي في أي وقت، وقم بمطالعة النتيجة.

== ما هي بعض الأمثلة عن منحك الإذن لمشاركة المعلومات الخاصة بي؟ ==

في حال تلقيت منحة دراسية للذهاب إلى [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ ويكيمانيا]، قد نطلب إذنك لمشاركة المعلومات الخاصة بك مع الفرع المحلي لاستضافة ويكيمانيا ذلك العام حتى نتمكن من القيام بترتيبات السفر المناسبة. أو في حال تقدمت بطلب للحصول على منحة، قد نطلب إذنك لمشاركة المعلومات الخاصة بك مع أعضاء [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|لجنة منح الأموال]] لمراجعة طلب المنحة الخاص بك. أو قد ترغب في استخدام اسم المستخدم وكلمة المرور في ويكيميديا للدخول وإرسال معلومات إلى موقع طرف ثالث، وذلك باستخدام خدمات مثل [//openid.net/ OpenID] أو  [//oauth.net/ OAuth]، وفي هذه الحالة، سيتم إرسال المعلومات الخاصة بك فقط إلى موقع طرف ثالث بإذن صريح منك.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== ما هي السبل التي تستطيع استخدامها أو أن تشاركنا معلومات مستخدم مثلا للبحث أو للتحقيق أو للدفاع عن مواقع وسياسات ويكيميديا؟ ==

من المهم بالنسبة لنا الجزم بأن الجميع ملتزمون بنفس القواعد وأحياناً يعني ذلك أننا بحاجة إلى بحث وتبادل معلومات محددة عن المستخدمين للتأكد من التزامهم.

على سبيل المثال، يمكن مشاركة معلومات المستخدم عندما يقوم  [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|مدقق المستخدم]] بالبحث في إنتهاكات أي مشروع، مثل الاستخدام المشتبه به لـ&quot;دمية جورب&quot; خبيثة (حسابات ثانية)، والتخريب، والتنمر على المستخدمين الآخرين، أو السلوك المضطرب. في حال وجود انتهاك من قبل أي عضو [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|لشروط الاستخدام]]  أو السياسات الأخرى ذات الصلة، فقد يتم الافصاح عن المعلومات الشخصية للمستخدم إلى مزود خدمة، ناقل، أو أي كيان طرف ثالث، وذلك للمساعدة في استهداف كتل بروتوكول الإنترنت أو لتقديم شكوى إلى مزود خدمة الإنترنت ذي الصلة.

وكمثال آخر، في حال تم إبلاغنا أن المستخدم أطلق تهديداً بوجود قنبلة، فقد يتعين علينا تقديم بعض المعلومات المتعلقة بهذا التهديد إلى السلطات المحلية من أجل إنقاذ الأرواح.

يمكن لنا أيضًا استخدام المعلومات الشخصية لأغراض خيرية مشروعة أخرى موضحة في سياستنا الخصوصية.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== هل يمكن إعطائي بعض الأمثلة عن الظروف التي ستشاركون فيها المعلومات الخاصة بي مع مزودي طرف ثالث؟ ==

بطبيعة الحال! على سبيل المثال، مواقع ويكيميديا تعتمد على مزودي خدمات الاستضافة، ومزودي شبكة الألياف البصرية، ومراكز البيانات، وغيرهم من مزودي الخدمات والمقاولين. لقد أبرمنا عقداً مع مزودي هذه الخدمات، ويحق لهم فقط الوصول الى البيانات الخاصة بك لأداء الخدمات لنا بما يتفق مع هذه السياسة. وفي أحيان أخرى، قد نستخدم مزودي طرف ثالث لمساعدتنا على إدارة المعلومات التي نخزنها أو نستخدمها. على سبيل المثال، قد نستخدم نظم إدارة المنح الخاصة بأطراف ثالثة لاستيعاب معلومات مقدم طلب المنحة وتبسيط عملية طلبنا بشكل أكثر كفاءة أو قد نستخدم مزودي طرف ثالث لخدمات البريد الإلكتروني للموظفين.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== ماهي المعلومات التي يتم الكشف عنها عند النقر فوق رابط على موقع ويكيميديا ينقلك إلى موقع آخر خارجي؟ ==

عندما تنقر فوق رابط على موقع ويكيميديا يحولك إلى موقع خارجي، فإن معلومات الإحالة تنقل فقط إلى وجهة الطرف الخارجية هذه، المجال الأصلي الخاص بك، وليس بالتحديد صفحة ويكيميديا التي كنت بصدد زيارتها. على سبيل المثال، إذا كنت تقرأ مقالة على ويكيبيديا ونقرت على مصدر يوجهك إلى مقال إخباري على موقع خارجي، فإن معلومات المرجع لا تحتوي إلا على نطاق ويكيبيديا، وليس عنوان URL الخاص بالمقال المحدد. يُعرف هذا النوع من سياسة الإحالة باسم [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;أصل-متى-عكس-آصل&quot;].

نحن نحصر معلومات الإحالة بهذه الطريقة لحماية خصوصية المستخدم، ونتجنب الكشف عن معلومات حساسة حول الصفحات التي يشاهدها المستخدمون، بينما نسمح للشركات التابعة والشركاء بالتقاط معلومات مجمعة عن حركة المرور الواردة من مواقع الويب التي تديرها ويكيميديا. بالنسبة للذين يرغبون في معرفة المزيد، وقد يكونون مهتمين بتحكم أكبر في معلومات المُحيل، أعد فريق سلامة مؤسسة ويكيميديا [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|صفحة على ميتا]] تحمل بعض التفاصيل والأدوات الموصى بها.

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== ما هي مخاطر إعادة التعريف؟ ==

وفي بعض [[$netflixprizelink|الحالات]] (لا تشمل مواقع ويكيميديا بقدر ما نعلم!)، تمكن باحثون مستقلون من ربط المعلومات غير الشخصية والمجمّعة من مصادر مختلفة عن طريق مستخدمين معينين. بينما نحاول تجنب ذلك عن طريق حجب المعلومات عن الهوية قبل مشاركتها من أجل أغراض البحث، نحن نرغب أن تكون على علم مسبق بهذه المخاطر.

نعم فعلا! نحن ننفذ اتصالات HTTPS فقط على جميع مواقع ويكيميديا منذ [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ سنة 2015]. لقد قمنا أيضًا بتنفيذ العديد من التدابير ذات الصلة لزيادة تأمين حركة المرور الخاصة بنا بما يتجاوز المعايير الدنيا المعمول بها، بما في ذلك: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]] و [//hstspreload.org/ التحميل المسبق]، و[[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|تدبيس OCSP]]، وشهادات الخادم [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]. قمنا بادراج طوابع زمنية مضمونة وموقعة من أجل [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|شفافية الشهادات]]، مع تمكين خيارات التشفير الأفضل في فئتها، بما في ذلك [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] و[//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. نحن أيضًا [[phab:T147199|لا نحبذ استعمال شفرات بالية]] الا في حالات الطوارئ. لمعرفة آخر ما لدينا من أشغال، راجع [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|وضع حالة HTTPS]].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

== ما هي بعض الأمثلة عن المدة التي يتم الاحتفاظ بها بالبيانات الخاصة بي؟ ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
هذا يتوقف على نوع البيانات وكيفية جمعها. على سبيل المثال، المعلومات التي يمكن الوصول إليها من قبل [[checkuserpolicylink$| أداة تدقيق المستخدم]] يتم حذفها بعد ثلاثة أشهر. ومعلومات أخرى، مثل عناوين بروتوكول الإنترنت المرتبطة بمساهمات من مستخدمين غير مسجلين، تكون واضحة في تاريخ مراجعة مقال لأجل غير مسمى. يمكنك معرفة المزيد حول مدة الاحتفاظ بأنواع مختلفة من البيانات من خلال  المبادئ التوجيهية وإجراءات الاحتفاظ بالبيانات  [LINK] .

== هناك معلومات قديمة أو غير دقيقة عني في مقالة في ويكيبيديا! كيف يمكنني تحديث المعلومات الخاصة بي؟ ==

تم تحرير ويكيميديا بشكل تعاوني وبتوافق الآراء. مما يعني تحرير تلك المعلومات في مقالات ويكيبيديا، وتحديثها وحمايتها من قبل مجتمع عالمي من المستخدمين أمثالك. في حال كنت موضوعاً لمقالة في ويكيبيديا أو ورد اسمك في صفحة نقاش وتعتقد أنها تحتوي على معلومات غير دقيقة أو قديمة عنك، يتعين عليك زيارة سياسات وإجراءات محتوى مجموعة المستخدم لمعالجتها. يمكنك الحصول على مساعدة بشأن هذه المعلومات عن طريق البريد الإلكتروني {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}. إن مؤسسة ويكيميديا ''لا'' تتدخل في نزاعات متعلقة بالمحتوى وتعتقد أن العمل مع المجموعة هو أفضل وسيلة لحل النزاعات المحتملة.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== ما هي إشارات عدم التتبع (&quot;DNT&quot;) وكيف تستجيب مؤسسة ويكيميديا لها؟ ==

&quot;لا تتبع&quot; أو &quot;DNT&quot; هي وسيلة لمتصفح الويب الخاص بك لإخبار موقع الويب الذي تزوره أنك لا تريد أن تتعقبك أطراف ثالثة لم تزر مواقعها، مثل خدمات التحليل والشبكات الإعلانية والمنصات الاجتماعية. عند استخدام هذه الآلية، يتم إرسال إشارة من قبل متصفحك، تتضمن عدم رغبتك في نقل معلوماتك الشخصية، خاصة فيما يتعلق بأنشطتك عبر الإنترنت وتفاعلاتك في الشبكة، إلى جهات خارجية. عند تلقي إشارة DNT المرسلة عن طريق المتصفح الخاص بك، فإن الشخص أو الكيان صاحب الموقع لديه خيار إما تلبية الطلب المذكور أعلاه وإما تجاهله.

تلتزم مؤسسة ويكيميديا التزاما وثيقا بعدم تبادل المعلومات التي نجمعها منك (بما في ذلك أنشطتك عبر الإنترنت وتفاعلات الشبكة مع مواقع ويكيميديا) مع أي أطراف ثالثة، باستثناء الحالات المحددة المفصلة في قسم &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|متى يمكننا مشاركة معلوماتك]]&quot; من سياسة الخصوصية الخاصة بنا.

بسبب هذا الالتزام، فإننا نحمي الجميع، ولا نغير سلوكنا استجابةً لإشارة DNT لمتصفح الويب.

== اعتقدت أنني لم أكن بحاجة إلى حساب للقراءة أو للمساهمة! تحت أي ظروف أحتاج للتسجيل للقراءة أو للمساهمة؟ ==

لن تحتاج أبدًا إلى حساب لقراءة موقع عام من ويكيميديا. وفي معظم الحالات، لا تحتاج إلى حساب للمساهمة في موقع ويكيميديا. ولكن، هناك بعض الحالات النادرة التي ستحتاج فيها إلى تسجيل حساب إذا كنت ترغب في المساهمة. قد يقرر مجتمع محلي من المحررين أو المساهمين (على سبيل المثال، مجتمع ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية أو مجتمع ويكاموس الملايو) أو مؤسسة ويكيميديا نفسها فرض قيود مؤقتة أو دائمة على ما يمكنك تغييره. على سبيل المثال، قد يتم تقييد صفحة معينة مؤقتًا من التحرير للسماح فقط للمستخدمين ذوي الخبرة أو الإدارة بسبب  كثرة التخريب أو مخاوف من التعدي على حقوق التأليف. لا يجوز لك أيضًا تحميل محتوى مثل الصور أو مقاطع الفيديو دون تسجيل الدخول لأننا نحتاج إلى التحقق من أنه قد تم الحصول على الأذونات المناسبة من صاحب الحقوق الأدبية للمحتوى (ما لم يكن موجودا مسبقا تحت الملكية العامة) لنشره.

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== هل يمكنكم أن تمدوني ببعض الأمثلة عن المعلومات المتوفرة من خلال السجلات العامة؟ ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
بالتأكيد! قد تتضمن السجلات العامة تاريخ إنشاء حسابك، أو عندما تحذف صفحة، أو عندما تشكر مستخدمًا آخر. إذا كنت ترغب في الحصول على مثال ، يمكنك أيضًا استعراض بعض السجلات العامة لهذا الويكي على [[Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== هل يمكنني حذف و/أو إخفاء هوية أي محتوى أقوم بنشره على أي موقع من مواقع ويكيميديا، إذا كنت لا أرغب في الكشف عن شخصيتي؟ إذا نعم، فكيف؟ ==

تستخدم مواقع ويكيميديا ​​تاريخ مراجعة متاح للعموم لبناء التوافق، وتعزيز الشفافية بين المساهمين والمحررين، وتأكيد صحة محتوى مواقعنا. لذلك، بمجرد نشر المعلومات على مواقع ويكيميديا، تصبح عامة ولن تتمكن على الأرجح من إزالتها. حتى إذا قمت بإزالة محتوى معين (على سبيل المثال من مقالة ويكيبيديا) بنفسك، فسيظل متاحًا للعموم في قسم &quot;تاريخ&quot; من المقالة. في ظل ظروف معينة، قد تستطيع طلب إزالة صفحة أو ملف أو جزء من تاريخ الصفحة أو الملف من المشاهدة العامة (على سبيل المثال، إذا قمت بنشر معلومات شخصية عالية الخطورة بطريق الخطأ مثل رقم بطاقة الائتمان الخاصة بك). يرجى ملاحظة أن قرارات الإزالة (أي حذف مقالة بأكملها) لا تتخذ دائمًا بشكل مركزي، وأحيانًا تأتي بعد نقاش عام في مجتمع ويكيبيديا (انظر ويكيبيديا [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|سياسة الحذف]] لمزيد من المراجع). لا يضمن هذا الإجراء الإزالة الكاملة أو الشاملة للمحتوى أو المعلومات المنشورة على مواقع ويكيميديا.

يمكنك أيضًا طلب منع (إشراف)، لإخفاء المراجعات أو أسماء المستخدمين في تحرير السجلات والسجلات أو أجزاء من إدخالات السجل الفردية. الحذف هو عملية داخل الويكي وله استخدامات محددة. يرجى الرجوع إلى [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|صفحة الحذف على الميتا]] للحصول على المزيد من المعلومات والتعليمات.

إذا كنت مستخدمًا مسجلاً، فنحن نشجعك على عدم استخدام اسمك الحقيقي كاسم مستخدم إذا كنت لا تريد أن يقيم الآخرون صلة بين ما تنشره على مواقع ويكيميديا واسمك الحقيقي. يمكنك معرفة المزيد حول اختيار اسم المستخدم الخاص بك في [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|سياسة اسم المستخدم]] على ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية. يرجى ملاحظة أن سياسة اسم المستخدم هذه تنطبق فقط على ويكيبيديا الإنجليزية، وأن الويكيبيديا الأخرى لديها سياسات مختلفة. نوصي بالتحقق من سياسة اسم المستخدم في المشروع الذي تنوي استخدامه للتأكد من التزامك بالممارسات المحلية.

إذا كنت قد أدرجت بالفعل معلومات تعريف شخصية (مثل اسمك الحقيقي) في اسم المستخدم الخاص بك ولا تريد أن تحدد هويتك بمساهماتك، فنحن نشجعك على طلب إخفاء الهوية من المعلومات (بدلاً من متابعة عمليات الإزالة والحذف المذكورة أعلاه) عن طريق طلب تغيير اسم المستخدم الخاص بك. للحصول على معلومات حول كيفية تغيير اسم المستخدم الخاص بك، راجع [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|صفحة تغيير اسم المستخدم على الميتا]].

لا يمكن أن تضمن عملية إخفاء الهوية إخفاء الهوية الكاملة أو الشاملة لجميع المحتوى أو المعلومات المنشورة على مواقع ويكيميديا المتعلقة باسم المستخدم السابق الخاص بك. إذا تم قبول طلبك، فلن يحدث تغيير الاسم إلا في السجلات التي يتم إنشاؤها تلقائيًا (مثل تاريخ الصفحة) بالاقتران مع المحتوى الذي نشرته. لن يؤدي تغيير الاسم إلى حذف إشارات اسم المستخدم السابق من قِبل جهات خارجية. على سبيل المثال، إذا قمت بتغيير اسم المستخدم الخاص بك من MichaelPaul إلى Owlwatcher345، فسيُنسب المحتوى الذي ساهمت به إلى Owlwatcher345، ولكن إذا ذكرك مستخدم آخر باسم MichaelPaul في صفحة مناقشة، فسيستمر MichaelPaul في الظهور بدلاً من Owlwatcher345.

يرجى الرجوع إلى [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|سياسة الخصوصية]] للحصول على مزيد من المعلومات حول اختياراتك فيما يتعلق باستخدامنا لمعلوماتك الشخصية وكيف يمكنك ممارسة هذه الخيارات.

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is different about this Privacy Policy? Can I see older versions?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;ਇਸ ਪੜਦਾ ਨੀਤੀ ਦੀ ਖ਼ਾਸੀਅਤ ਕੀ ਹੈ? ਕੀ ਮੈਂ ਪੁਰਾਣੇ ਤਰਜਮੇ ਵੇਖ ਸਕਦਾ ਹਾਂ?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;&quot;ਮਿਆਰੀ ਖਾਤਾ&quot; ਬਨਾਮ &quot;ਗ਼ੈਰ-ਮਿਆਰੀ ਖਾਤਾ&quot; ਕੀ ਹੈ?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A standard account is one that you can sign up for to browse or edit the main Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Typically you do not need to provide more than a username and password to create a standard account with the Wikimedia Foundation; however, if you create a standard account using a system run by a third party, then you may be required to provide additional information, such as an email address. A non-standard account is one that you may sign up for to participate in the Wikimedia movement in a more in-depth way, outside of reading or contributing to one of our main projects like Wikipedia.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

== ਮੁੜ-ਸ਼ਨਾਖ਼ਤ ਦਾ ਕੀ ਖ਼ਤਰਾ ਹੈ? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;มีอะไรที่แตกต่างเกี่ยวกับนโยบายความเป็นส่วนตัวนี้? ฉันสามารถดูรุ่นเก่าได้ไหม?&lt;/span&gt; ==

เช่นเดียวกับองค์กรหลายๆองค์กร เราโตและเปลี่ยนแปลงมาตลอดหลายปี และเราเขียนนโยบายความเป็นส่วนตัวนี้ ด้วยความหวังว่า มันจะสะท้อนดีขึ้น ไม่ใช่แค่วิธีการของเราในปัจจุบันเท่านั้น แต่ยังสะท้อนได้ดีขึ้น เป้าหมายของเราคือการทําให้นโยบายความเป็นส่วนตัวนี้อ่านง่ายและโปร่งใสเกี่ยวกับวิธีที่เรารวบรวมข้อมูลและใช้มันเพื่อเข้าใจและปรับปรุงเว็บไซต์วิกิเมเดียให้ดีขึ้นสําหรับคุณ

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is a &quot;standard account&quot; versus a &quot;temporary account&quot; or &quot;non-standard account&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

บัญชีมาตรฐานคือที่คุณสามารถสมัครเพื่อดูหรือแก้ไขโครงการหลักของวิกิพีเดีย เช่น วีคิพีดียา หรือ วิกิพิเดีย คอมมอนส์ โดยปกติคุณไม่จําเป็นต้องให้ข้อมูลมากกว่าชื่อผู้ใช้และรหัสผ่านเพื่อสร้างบัญชีมาตรฐานกับ Wikimedia Foundation แต่ถ้าคุณสร้างบัญชี มาตรฐานโดยใช้ระบบที่บริหารโดยพรรคที่สาม คุณอาจต้องให้ข้อมูลเพิ่มเติม เช่น อีเมล์ บัญชีที่ไม่ใช่มาตรฐาน คือที่คุณสามารถสมัครเข้าร่วมการเคลื่อนไหวของวิกิเมเดียได้อย่างลึกซึ้งขึ้น นอกเหนือจากการอ่านหรือร่วมมือกับโครงการหลักของเรา เช่น วิกิเมดีย์

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples of types of cookies and how you use local storage?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! The cookies (and related local storage storage technologies) used by the Wikimedia Sites generally fall into the following categories:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Functionality: These cookies help the Wikimedia Sites work, including essential features like logging in and maintaining temporary accounts.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Preferences: These cookies store your preferences, so that they can be remembered the next time you use the site.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Performance and Analysis: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, so that we can better understand how the website works and improve it for you and other users.&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some options I have to limit use of locally stored data on my device?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
While this is not a comprehensive list, here are some of the things that you can do to limit use of locally stored data on your device. You can:
&lt;/div&gt;

* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;remove or disable specific locally stored data on your browser's settings;&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or&lt;/span&gt;
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;install a plug-in to block locally stored data, if one is available.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;How do I email within the Wikimedia Sites and how do I change what notifications I get?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can change what notifications you receive by either:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(a) Clicking on the link after &quot;To control which emails we send you, check your preferences&quot; at the bottom of any notification email we send you as seen below; or&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;(b) Sign into your account, then click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; at the top right of your screen, and then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;
: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;[[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page. If you enable this feature, your email address is not revealed when other users contact you (although it will be if you reply). If you enable this feature, any other user can email you and we do not control what or how often they email you. This is how you can enable this feature:
&lt;/div&gt;

: &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Sign into your account, click on &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, then click on &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, and check the &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; box.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
[[File:4 ENWP Enable Email.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; option]]
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#emails|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me an example of how you use GPS and other location technologies to show me more relevant content?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What do you mean you &quot;infer my geographical location&quot;? And why do you need to do that?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of when I would give you permission to share my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some categories and examples of when you would share my information with third-party providers?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What information is revealed when I click a link on a Wikimedia site that takes me to an external third party site?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites. For those who would like to know more, and may be interested in having greater control over referrer information, the Wikimedia Foundation Security team has prepared a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|page on Meta-Wiki]] with some further detail and recommended tools.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What is the risk of re-identification?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use HTTPS on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some examples of how long you keep my data?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Is there a community body in charge of investigating alleged privacy violations?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A group of experienced users called the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Ombuds Commission]] has the power and authority to investigate violations and alleged violations of this Privacy Policy and make recommendations to us on how to address a violation or alleged violation.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article! How do I update my information?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;I thought I never needed an account to read or contribute! Under what circumstances would I need to register to read or contribute?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can you give me some examples what kind of information is available through public logs?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Can I delete and/or anonymize any content I post on any Wikimedia Site, if I do not want to be personally identified? If so, how?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please refer to our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] for more information about your choices with respect to our use of your Personal Information and how you may exercise these choices.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#your-use-of-wm-sites|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== 这个隐私政策有何不同？我能看看旧版本么？ ==

與許多組織一樣，我們多年來一直在發展和改變，我們起草了這個隱私政策，希望它不僅更好地反映我們當前的做法，而且希望我們希望在未來走向。我們的目標是使這個隱私政策易於閱讀和透明地了解我們收集信息的方式，並使用它來更好地了解和改進維基媒體網站。

如果您对我们过去的隐私政策内容感兴趣，我们的隐私政策页面有历史版本可供大家阅览。因为我们在一个维基页面上维护我们的隐私政策，您大可浏览比较[{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} 隐私政策页的所有历史版本]！诸如以下链接分别提供该页面的[{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003年版本]、[{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006年版本]、[{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008年版本]和[{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014年版本]。

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== “标准账号”对比“临时账号”或“非标准账号”有何差异？ ==

標準帳戶是您可以註冊瀏覽或編輯維基百科或維基共享資源等主要維基媒體項目的帳戶。通常，您不需要提供多於一個用戶名和密碼就可以在維基媒體基金會創建一個會標準帳戶；然而，如果您使用由第三方運行的系統創建標準帳戶，則可能需要提供其他信息，例如電子郵件地址。非標準帳戶是您可以註冊參加維基媒體運動的一種更加深入的方式，在閱讀或貢獻我們的主要項目之一，如維基百科之外。

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|临时账号]]是当您未登录并做出特定动作（如编辑维基媒体网站）时，自动创建的账号。账号过期之前，使用相同设备及浏览器作出的后续编辑都会被标注到同一临时账号下。因此类账号并无密码，您不能在其它设备及浏览器上登录临时账号。临时账号至多持续存在90日，除非您提早退出同一段浏览器对话。此时临时账号将自动失效。后续编辑会创建新的临时账号。

例如，如果您在非維基站點例如[[phab:|Phabricator]]、[[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]]或[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|義務回覆隊]]註冊帳戶或在全球教育等特殊計劃上工作，您可能需要註冊一個帳戶參與，註冊這些帳戶可能需要除用戶名和密碼以外的其他信息，如電子郵件地址。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|返回隐私政策]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== 您能否告诉我一些使用cookie的情形么？ ==

當然！維基媒體網站使用的Cookie（和相關的本地存儲的存儲技術）通常分為以下類別：

* 功能：這些cookie幫助維基媒體網站運作，包括登錄及維護臨時賬號等必要功能。
* 首選項：這些cookie存儲您的首選項，以便下次使用該網站時可以記住它們。
* 性能和分析：這些cookie收集有關您如何使用我們的網站的信息，以便我們可以更好地了解網站的工作原理，並為您和其他用戶改進資訊。
* 第三方：這些cookie允許我們提供第三方提供的服務，例如“喜歡”和“分享”按鈕。當第三方提供這些服務時，他們可能需要使用cookie才能提供服務。（這些只會與您的肯定同意使用。）

要了解更多信息，請訪問我們的[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Cookie聲明]]。

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== 有哪些选项可以限制使用我的设备上本地存储的数据？ ==

雖然這不是一個全面的列表，以下是您可以做的一些事情，以限制在設備上使用本地存儲的數據。您可以：

* 刪除或禁用瀏覽器設置上的特定本地存儲的數據;
* 使用一个封锁第三方cookie的浏览器；或
* 安装一个插件封锁本地存储数据，如果可用。

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== 
如何在維基媒體網站中發送電子郵件，以及如何更改我收到的通知？ ==

您可以通過以下方式更改您收到的通知：

: （一）點擊我們發送給您的任何通知電子郵件底部的“要控制哪些電子郵件發送給您，檢查您的偏好設置”之後的鏈接，如下所示；或者
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: （二）登錄您的帳戶，然後點擊屏幕右上角的「{{int:mypreferences}}」，然後點擊「{{int:prefs-echo}}」。
: [[File:1_ENWP_Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|“{{int:mypreferences}}”标签]]
: [[File:2_ENWP_Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|“{{int:prefs-echo}}”标签]]

您還可以選擇啟用“通過電子郵件發送此用戶”功能，其他用戶可以通過在用戶頁面上的工具箱菜單中點擊“{{int:emailuser}}”直接向您發送電子郵件。如果您啟用此功能，當其他用戶與您聯繫時，您的電子郵件地址將不會顯示（但如果您回复，則會顯示）。如果您啟用此功能，任何其他用戶都可以向您發送電子郵件，我們不會控制他們向您發送電子郵件的頻率或頻率。以下是啟用此功能的方法：

: 登录您的账户，单击“{{int:mypreferences}}”，然后单击“{{int:prefs-personal}}”，选中“{{int:allowemail}}”复选框。

[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|“{{int:prefs-personal}}”标签页]]
[[File:4_ENWP_Enable_Email.png|thumb|center|500px|“{{int:allowemail}}”复选框]]

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#emails|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== 你能給我一個例子，說明你如何使用GPS和其他定位技術向我顯示更相關的內容？ ==

當然！如果您使用維基百科移動應用程式，可以使用“{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}”按鈕查看是否有與您附近的地點與事物相關的文章。您的設備會在實際操作您的位置信息之前，先詢問您是否同意辨識並使用您當前的位置。如果您在筆電，桌機或沒有GPS的設備上使用此功能，该功能將使用您瀏覽器中的信息得出您的位置，並找到与您附近地方和事物（如公共藝術或著名建築）相關的文章。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== 你“推测我的地理位置”是什么意思？为什么你需要这么做？ ==

我们使用了一些下载产品，比如[//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB]，它使我们能在内部确定我们用户的大致位置。当我们说“大致”时，我们的意思是：GeoIP City DB将您的位置解析为与您的IP相关的最精确地区数据的中心位置。有关地区数据的全部信息是邮政编码、城市、地区或国家。除非您习惯性地位于与您的IP地址相关的最特定区域的地理中心，否则我们检索到的数据不太可能足够的精确，以让您收到一份三明治。

我们这样做是为了向您提供适当的区域内容，如当地的通知、活动公告和当地的筹款活动。要想知道我们对您的IP地址记录了哪些信息，您可以在任何时候加载我们的[//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool]并查看结果。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== 我允许你们共享我的信息的例子有哪些？ ==

如果您获得了奖学金去参加[//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania]，我们可能会要求您同意与当年主办Wikimania的地方分会共享您的信息，以便我们可以做出适当的旅行安排。或者如果您申请资助，我们可能会要求您同意与审查您的资助申请的[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Disemination Committee]]的成员共享您的信息。或者您可能想使用您的维基媒体用户名和密码登录第三方网站并向其发送信息，使用诸如[//openid.net/ OpenID]或[//oauth.net/ OAuth]这样的服务，在这种情况下，您的信息只有在您明确同意的情况下才会被发送到第三方网站。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== 你们可以通过哪些方式使用或共享用户信息，例如调查、执行或维护维基媒体的网站和政策？ ==

确保每个人都遵守相同的规则对我们来说很重要，有时这意味着我们需要调查并共享特定用户的信息，以确保他们遵守相同的规则。

例如，当[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|用户查核方针]]在调查项目上的滥用行为时，例如怀疑使用恶意的“马甲”（重复账户）、恶意破坏、骚扰其他用户或破坏性行为，用户信息可能会被共享。如果发现用户违反了我们的[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|使用条款]]或其他相关政策，该用户的个人信息可能会被透露给服务提供商、运营商或其他第三方实体，例如，以协助确定封禁IP的目标或向相关ISP发起投诉。

再比如，如果我们被告知一个用户发出了炸弹威胁，我们可能不得不向当地政府报告与该威胁有关的一些信息，以拯救生命。

我们也可能将个人信息用于我们隐私政策中描述的其他合法的慈善目的。
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== 你能给我一些类别和例子，说明你何时会与第三方供应商共享我的信息吗？ ==

当然！维基媒体网站依靠托管服务提供商、光纤网络提供商、数据中心以及其他服务提供商和承包商。我们与这些服务提供商签订了合同，他们只有在为我们提供符合本政策的服务时才能接触到您的数据。其他时候，我们可能会使用第三方供应商来帮我们管理我们存储或使用的信息、解决用户的要求，以及其他的运营需求（如审计）。例如，我们可能使用第三方资助管理系统来保存资助申请人的信息，使我们的申请程序更简单、更有效，或者我们可能使用第三方供应商为工作人员和用户提供电子邮件与通知服务。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== 当我点击维基媒体网站上的一个链接，将我带到一个外部的第三方网站时，哪些信息会被透露？ ==

当你在一个维基媒体网站上点击一个将你送到一个外部网站的链接时，引荐者信息只会将你的域名来源，而不是你所访问的具体的维基媒体页面，传输到那个第三方目的地。例如，如果你正在阅读维基百科上的一篇文章，并点击一个引文将你引向一个外部网站的新闻文章，引荐者信息将只包含维基百科的域名，而不是具体的文章URL。这种类型的引荐者策略被称为[//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin “origin-when-cross-origin”]。

我们以这种方式限制引荐者信息，以保护用户的隐私，避免泄露用户浏览的页面的敏感信息，同时允许运动附属机构和合作伙伴收集从维基媒体运营的网站接收的流量的汇总信息。对于那些想了解更多，并且可能对更多地控制引荐者信息感兴趣的人来说，维基媒体基金会安全小组准备了一个[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|元维基上的页面]]，其中有一些更详细的细节和推荐工具。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== 身份重识别的风险是什么？ ==

在少数情况下（据我们所知不涉及维基媒体网站！），有独立研究人员能将不同来源的非个人和综合信息链接到特定用户上。虽然我们努力避免这种情况，在为研究目的而共享个人信息之前，我们会设法去掉个人信息的身份，但我们要确保您意识到有这种风险。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== 維基媒體基金會是否在其網站上使用HTTPS？ ==

是的！自[//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]以来，我们一直在所有的维基媒体网站上实施HTTPS-Only模式进行传输。我们还实施了一些相关的措施，以进一步确保我们的流量超过行业的最低标准，包括：[[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]]、[//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading]、[[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP装订]]和[[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]服务器证书。我们为[[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|证书透明度]]嵌入了签名的证书时间戳，并启用了同类最佳的加密选项，包括[[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]]和[//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]。我们还[[phab:T147199|淘汰了过时的加密方式]]，以免它们成为下一个紧急情况。关于我们努力的最新情况，请参阅我们的[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS状态页面]]。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== 维基媒体基金会在其站点使用验证码（CAPTCHA）吗？ ==

是的。一种名为 [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]] 的验证码系统最早于 2000 年代被引入维基站点。从 2025 年开始，使用 hCaptcha 服务的改进系统已在维基媒体站点上[[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|逐步推行]]。FancyCaptcha 系统会验证所有用户，而新系统仅验证可能是机器人的用户。此外，无论会话是否触发验证，hCaptcha 都会向我们提供账户创建和相关编辑的“疑似机器人”信号。

为了保护我们用户的隐私，我们已部署[[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|技术措施]]以降低我们发送给 hCaptcha 的信息的敏感性。这些措施包括通过维基媒体控制的代理路由我们用户的流量，确保用户的 IP 地址、敏感请求头和 cookie 不会被发送至 hCaptcha。此外，hCaptcha 也无法看到用户所访问的具体页面 URL，并且 hCaptcha 会在 10 天内清除其实际收集到的用户数据。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== 有哪些关于如何保护我的数据的例子？ ==

这取决于数据的类型和收集的方式。例如，可以通过[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|用户查核方针]]访问的信息在三个月后会被删除。其他信息，例如与不使用[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|标准账号或临时账号]]作出编辑的用户的贡献相关的IP地址，在文章的修订历史中无限期可见。您可以在我们的[[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|数据保留指引]]中深入了解我们保留不同类型数据的时长。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== 是否有一个社区机构负责调查涉嫌侵犯隐私的行为？ ==

一个名为[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|申诉专员委员会]]的有经验的用户小组有权力和权限调查违反和涉嫌违反本隐私政策的行为，并就如何处理违反或涉嫌违反行为向我们提出建议。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

== 维基百科的文章中有关于我的过期或不准确的信息！我怎样才能更新我的信息？ ==

主要的[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|隐私政策]]涵盖了我们用户的个人信息。然而，如果维基百科的文章中有关于您的过时或不准确的信息，让文章更新的最好方法是遵循用户社区的内容方针和程序。您可以在文章的“讨论”页面上发表评论（通过点击左上方的“讨论”，然后编辑该页面），提出任何问题或关注，以供该文章的其他编辑审阅。如果您不愿意在页面上发表评论，您可以通过给{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}或者相关语言的[[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|志愿者回复团队]] 发送邮件来获取经验丰富的维基媒体志愿者的帮助。维基媒体项目是合作编写的，由共识驱动。这意味着维基百科文章中的信息是由像您一样的全球用户社区编写、更新和监督的。维基媒体基金会认为，一般应该由社区决定哪些内容属于这些项目，我们鼓励使用既定的社区程序来解决潜在的问题或争议。

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== 什么是请勿跟踪（“DNT”）信号，维基媒体基金会如何回应它们？ ==

请勿跟踪或“DNT”是一种方式，让您的网络浏览器告诉您正在访问的网站，您不希望被您没有对其网站进行过访问的第三方跟踪如分析服务、广告网络和社交平台。使用这一机制时，您的浏览器会发送一个信号，表示您希望您的个人信息，特别是关于您的在线活动和网络互动的信息，不应该被传递给第三方。当收到您浏览器发送的DNT信号时，拥有该网站的个人或实体可以选择尊重或忽略上述请求。

维基媒体基金会坚决承诺不与任何第三方共享我们从您那里收集的个人信息（包括您的在线活动和与维基媒体网站的网络互动），除非是在我们的隐私政策中“[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|我们何时可以共享您的信息？]]”一节里详述的特定情况。

由于这一承诺，我们保护每一个人，且不因网络浏览器的DNT信号而改变我们的行为。

您可以在[//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us]和[//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification]处找到更多关于“请勿跟踪”技术和政策建议的信息。

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== 我想我从不需要一个账户阅读或贡献！我一定要注册一个账户阅读或贡献么？ ==

要阅读一个公开的维基媒体网站，您从来不需要一个账户。而且在大多数情况下，您不需要账户就可以为一个维基媒体网站做出贡献。然而，在一些少见的情况下，如果您想做出贡献，您将需要注册一个账户。本地的编辑者或贡献者社区（例如，英语维基百科社区或马来语维基词典社区）或维基媒体基金会本身可能会决定对您可以改变的内容进行临时或永久的限制。例如，由于破坏行为或版权问题，一个特定的页面可能会被暂时限制编辑，只允许有经验的或有管理权限的用户编辑。您也不能在没有登录的情况下上传图片或视频等内容，因为我们需要确认已经从版权所有者那里获得了适当的许可（如果该媒体还没有进入公共领域），以便发布内容。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== 公共日志包含什么信息？可以举些例子吗？ ==

当然！公共日志包含许多信息，比如您的账户是何时创建的，您何时删除了某个页面，或是您何时感谢了哪位用户。如果您想看一些例子，可以在[[Special:Log|Special:Log]]浏览一些公共日志。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== 如果我不想被识别出身份，我能否删除和/或匿名化我在任何维基媒体网站上发布的任何内容吗？若如此，要怎么做？ ==

维基媒体网站使用公开的历史修订版本来建立共识，促进贡献者和编辑之间的透明度，并确认我们网站内容的真实性。因此，一旦您在维基媒体网站上发布信息，它就是公开的，您可能无法删除它。即使您自己删除了某些内容（比如说从维基百科的文章中），它仍然在文章的“查看历史”部分是公开的。在某些情况下，您可以请求删除页面或文件，或页面或文件的部分历史，使其不再公开可见（例如，如果您不小心发布了高风险的个人信息，如您的信用卡号码）。请注意，删除决定（即删除整篇文章）并不总是集中作出的，有时它们是在维基百科社区中得到公开讨论后作出的（更多内容详见维基百科的[[zh:Wikipedia:删除方针|删除方针]]）。这个程序并不能确保彻底或全面地删除发布在维基媒体网站上的内容或信息。

您还可以请求监督，以便隐藏修订版本，编辑历史和日志中的用户名，或个别日志记录的部分内容。监督是一个维基上的流程，适用于特定的用途。请参考[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|监督方针]]以获得更多信息和说明。

若您是一个注册用户，如果您不希望别人把您在维基媒体网站上发表的内容和您的真名联系起来，我们鼓励不要用您的真名作为您的用户名。您可以在英文维基百科的[[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|用户名方针]]中了解更多关于选择用户名的信息。请注意，这个用户名方针只适用于英文维基百科，不同的维基百科有不同的方针（中文维基见[[zh:Wikipedia:用户名|用户名]]）。我们建议检查您打算使用的维基计划上的用户名方针，以确保您符合本地维基的做法。

如果您已经在您的用户名中包含了个人身份信息（比如您的真实姓名），并且不希望在您的贡献中被识别出个人身份，我们鼓励您通过申请改变您的用户名来请求匿名化这些信息（而不是进行上述的删除和监督程序）。关于如何改变您的用户名的信息，请参阅[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|更改用户名]]。

取消身份识别的的过程不能确保彻底或全面地匿名化在维基媒体网站上发布的所有与您以前的用户名有关的内容或个人信息。如果您的请求被批准，更改用户名将只发生在与您发布的内容有关的自动生成的日志（比如页面历史）中。更改用户名不会删除第三方对您以前用户名的提及。例如，如果您将您的用户名从MichaelPaul改为Owlwatcher345，您所贡献的内容将归属于Owlwatcher345，但如果其他用户在讨论页面中提到过您的名字MichaelPaul，MichaelPaul将继续出现，而不是Owlwatcher345。

请参考我们的[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|隐私政策]]，了解更多关于您对我们使用您的个人信息的相关选择，以及您可能如何行使这些选择的信息。

[[&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;File:How does Wikipedia protect readers privacy – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm&lt;/span&gt;|frameless|400px]]

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== Apa yang beda dari Kebijakan Privasi ini? Bisakah versi terdahulunya dilihat? ==

Seperti organisasi lainnya, kami telah tumbuh dan berubah selama bertahun-tahun, dan kami rancang Kebijakan Privasi ini dengan harapan bahwa versi ini lebih baik dalam mencerminkan praktik kami saat ini dan arah organisasi kami di masa depan. Tujuannya itu untuk membuat Kebijakan Privasi ini mudah dibaca dan transparan tentang cara kami mengumpul informasi dan memakainya untuk memahami dan memperbagus Situs Wikimedia lebih baik untuk Anda.

Jika Anda mau baca versi terdahulunya, kami jaga versi tersebut di arsip supaya bisa dijangkau oleh Anda. Karena kami urus Kebijakan Privasi di wiki, [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} riwayat lamannya] bisa dibuka untuk membandingkan revisi! Revisi dengan perubahan besar ada di tahun [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], dan [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== Apa bedanya antara &quot;akun standar&quot;, &quot;akun tak standar&quot;, dan &quot;akun sementara&quot;? ==

Akun standar ialah akun yang dipakai untuk menelusuri atau menyunting proyek-proyek Wikimedia utama misal Wikipedia atau Wikimedia Commons. Biasanya hanya perlu sediakan nama pengguna dan kata sandi untuk membuat akun standar dengan Yayasan Wikimedia; namun, jika akun standarnya dibuat lewat sistem yang dijalankan pihak ketiga, maka diperlukan informasi tambahan, misal alamat surel. Akun tak standar ialah akun yang dipakai untuk ikut serta dalam Gerakan Wikimedia secara lebih mendalam, di luar kegiatan membaca atau berkontribusi ke salah satu proyek utama kami seperti Wikipedia.

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|Akun sementara]] ialah akun yang otomatis dibuat ketika Anda mengambil tindakan tertentu misal menyunting di Situs Wikimedia tetapi tidak masuk log ke akun standar. Suntingan selanjutnya oleh perangkat dan peramban yang sama akan dikaitkan dengan akun sementara yang sama hingga akun itu kedaluwarsa. Anda tidak bisa masuk log ke akun sementara di luar perangkat dan peramban yang sama sebab akun-akun ini tidak punya kata sandi. Akun sementara berlaku selama 90 hari maksimal, kecuali Anda keluar dari sesi peramban lebih awal. Di saat itulah akun sementara akan otomatis dipadamkan. Akun sementara baru akan dibuat untuk suntingan selanjutnya.

Contoh, jika Anda mendaftarkan akun di situs non-wiki misal [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], atau [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Tim Tanggapan Relawan]] atau bekerja di prakarsa tertentu misal Global Education, Anda mungkin diharuskan untuk mendaftarkan akun untuk ikut serta dan pendaftaran untuk akunnya dapat memerlukan informasi tambahan selain nama pengguna dan kata sandi, misal alamat surel.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|Kembali ke Kebijakan Privasi]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Seperti apa kuki situs Wikimedia dan bagaimana penyimpanan lokal dipakai? ==

Kuki (dan teknologi penyimpanan lokal terkait) yang dipakai Situs Wikimedia umumnya tercakup ke salah satu kategori berikut:

* Fungsionalitas: Kuki ini membantu Situs Wikimedia bekerja, termasuk fitur hakiki misal log masuk dan menjaga akun sementara.
* Preferensi: Kuki ini menyimpan preferensi Anda, jadi masih bisa diingat lain kali Anda memakai situs.
* Kinerja dan Analisis: Kuki ini mengumpul informasi tentang cara Anda memakai situs kami, agar kami bisa lebih baik paham cara situsnya bekerja dan memperbagusnya untuk Anda dan pengguna lain.
* Pihak Ketiga: Kuki ini memungkinkan kami memfungsikan layanan yang disediakan pihak ketiga, misal tombol &quot;suka&quot; dan &quot;bagikan&quot;. Ketika suatu pihak ketiga menyediakan layanan seperti ini, mereka mungkin perlu memakai kuki untuk menyediakan layanan mereka. (Ini hanya akan dipakai dengan kesetujuan tegas Anda)

Untuk informasi lebih, kunjungilah [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Pernyataan Kuki]] kami.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Adakah pilihan bagi saya untuk membatasi penyimpanan tersimpan lokal di perangkat saya? ==

Walau bukan daftar lengkap, inilah beberapa hal yang bisa Anda buat untuk membatasi data tersimpan lokal di perangkat Anda. Anda bisa:

* mencopot atau memadamkan data tersimpan lokal tertentu di pengaturan peramban Anda;
* memakai peramban yang menyekat kuki pihak ketiga; atau
* memasang pengaya yang menyekat data tersimpan lokal, bila ada.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Bagaimana cara mengirim surel di dalam Situs Wikimedia dan bagaimana cara mengubah pemberitahuan yang saya terima? ==

Anda bisa ubah pemberitahuan apa yang akan diterima dengan:

: (a) Mengklik tautan setelah teks &quot;Untuk mengendalikan surel mana yang kami kirimkan kepada Anda, periksa preferensi Anda&quot; di bagian bawah surel pemberitahuan mana pun yang kami kirim ke Anda seperti yang tampak di bawah ini; atau
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) Log masuk ke akun Anda, lalu klik &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; di kanan atas layar Anda, kemudian klik &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|Tab &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|Tab &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

Anda juga punya pilihan untuk menyalakan fitur &quot;Kirim surel ke pengguna ini&quot;, yang memungkinkan pengguna lain mengirim Anda surel secara langsung dengan mengklik &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; di menu Alat kotak di laman pengguna Anda. Jika fitur ini dinyalakan, alamat surel Anda tak akan ditampilkan ke pengguna lain yang menghubungi Anda (kecuali Anda membalas mereka). Jika fitur ini dinyalakan, pengguna mana pun bisa mengirim Anda surel dan kami tak bisa mengendalikan surel apa yang mereka tulis atau seberapa sering mereka kirim surel. Inilah cara menyalakan fitur ini:

: Log masuk ke akun Anda, klik &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, lalu klik &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, dan centangkan kotak &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;.

[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|Tab &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;]]
[[File:4 ENWP Enable Email.png|thumb|center|500px|Pilihan &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;]]

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#emails|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Adakah contoh bagaimana GPS dan teknologi lokasi lainnya dipakai untuk menampilkan muatan yang lebih relevan? ==

Tentu! Jika Anda memakai aplikasi seluler Wikipedia, Anda bisa cari jika ada artikel tentang hal-hal di dekat Anda dengan memakai tombol &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot;. Perangkat Anda akan meminta izin untuk mengenali dan memakai lokasi Anda saat ini sebelum benar-benar memakai informasi lokasi Anda. Jika fitur ini diakses di komputer atau ponsel tanpa GPS, fitur ini akan memakai informasi dari peramban Anda untuk menebak lokasi Anda dan mencari artikel tentang hal-hal (misal patung depan umum atau bangunan terkenal) di dekat Anda.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Apa maksud dari &quot;menyimpulkan lokasi geografis saya&quot;? Dan kenapa perlu begitu? ==

Kami pakai beberapa produk terunduh, misal [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], yang memungkinkan kami secara internal menentukan perkiraa lokasi pengguna kami. Dan ketika kami bilang &quot;perkiraan,&quot; kami tidak bohong; GeoIP City DB menentukan lokasi Anda di pusat data kawasan paling persis yang terkait dengan IP Anda. Satu-satunya kemungkinan untuk data kawasan terkait adalah kode pos, kota, daerah, atau negara. Kecuali Anda biasanya berada di tengah-tengah kawasan geografis paling spesifik yang terkait dengan alamat IP Anda, data yang kami peroleh kemungkinan besar tidak cukup baik untuk 'mengantar makanan' ke Anda.

Kami lakukan ini agar Anda bisa disajikan dengan muatan setempat yang sesuai misal pemberitahuan daerah, pengumuman acara, dan kampanye galang dana setempat. Untuk melihat informasi apa yang kami catat untuk alamat IP Anda, pakai [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup alat pencarian GeoIP] kami lalu cek hasilnya.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Adakah keadaan yang mengharuskan saya memberi izin untuk membagikan informasi saya? ==

Jika Anda menerima beasiswa untuk pergi ke [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], kami dapat meminta izin Anda untuk membagikan informasi Anda dengan cabang setempat yang menyelenggarakan Wikimania agar kami bisa membuat pengaturan perjalanan yang sesuai. Atau jika Anda melamar untuk hibah, kami dapat meminta izin Anda untuk membagikan informasi Anda dengan anggota [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Panitia Penyebar Dana]] yang meninjau lamaran hibah Anda. Atau Anda mungkin mau memakai nama pengguna dan kata sandi Wikimedia Anda untuk masuk log dan mengirim informasi ke situs pihak ketiga, melalui layanan seperti [//openid.net/ OpenID] atau [//oauth.net/ OAuth], dalam hal ini informasi Anda hanya akan dikirim ke pihak ketiga itu dengan izin jelas Anda.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Bagaimana informasi pengguna dipakai atau dibagikan, misal untuk menyelidiki, menegakkan, atau membela Situs Wikimedia dan kebijakannya? ==

Penting bagi kami untuk memastikan semua orang mengikuti aturan yang sama, dan kadang itu berarti kami perlu menyelidiki dan membagikan informasi pengguna tertentu untuk memastikan hal itu.

Misal, informasi pengguna dapat dibagikan ketika seorang [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|Pemeriksa]] menyelidiki penyalahgunaan pada Proyek, misal dicurigainya pemakaian akun ganda (atau &quot;siluman&quot;), vandalisme, pelecehan atas pengguna lain, atau perilaku mengganggu. Jika seorang pengguna ketahuan melanggar [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Ketentuan Penggunaan]] kami atau kebijakan lain yang bersangkutan, Informasi Pribadi si pengguna dapat dilepaskan ke suatu penyedia jasa, operator, atau maujud pihak ketiga lainnya, contoh, untuk membantu menyasarkan pemblokiran IP atau untuk meluncurkan keluhan ke Penyedia Jasa Internet yang bersangkutan.

Contoh lainnya, jika kami diberitahukan bahwa seorang pengguna telah membuat ancaman bom, kami mungkin harus melaporkan beberapa informasi terkait ancaman itu ke pihak berwenang setempat untuk menjaga keselamatan.

Kami juga dapat memakai Informasi Pribadi untuk tujuan amal sah lainnya yang dijelaskan dalam Kebijakan Privasi kami.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Adakah keadaan di mana informasi saya akan dibagikan ke penyedia pihak ketiga? ==

Ya! Situs Wikimedia mengandalkan penyedia penyelenggaraan, penyedia jaringan serat optik, pusat data, dan penyedia jasa serta kontraktor lainnya. Kami berkontrak dengan mereka, dan mereka hanya punya akses ke data Anda untuk melakukan jasa untuk kami sesuai dengan kebijakan ini. Di waktu lain, kami dapat memakai penyedia pihak ketiga untuk membantu kami mengelola informasi yang kami simpan atau pakai, menangani permintaan dari pengguna, dan kebutuhan operasional lainnya (misal audit). Contoh, kami mungkin pakai sistem pengelolaan hibah pihak ketiga untuk memegang informasi pelamar hibah dan menyederhanakan dan mengefisienkan proses kami atau kami mungkin pakai penyedia pihak ketiga untuk jasa surel dan pemberitahuan untuk staf dan pengguna.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Informasi apa yang diungkapkan ketika saya mengklik sebuah tautan di situs Wikimedia yang membawa saya ke situs pihak ketiga eksternal? ==

Ketika Anda klik sebuah tautan di situs Wikimedia yang membawa Anda ke situs ekstenal, informasi referer hanya mengirimkan asal domain Anda (bukan laman Wikipedia tertentu yang dikunjungi) ke tempat tujuan pihak ketiga itu. Contoh, jika Anda sedang membaca artikel di Wikipedia dan mengklik kutipan yang membawa Anda ke sebuah artikel berita di situs luar, informasi referer hanya berisi domain Wikipedia, bukan URL artikel khusus. Kebijakan referer semacam ini dikenal sebagai [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].

Kami batasi informasi referer lewat cara ini untuk melindungi privasi pengguna, dan menghindari mengungkapkan informasi sensisitf tentang laman yang dilihat oleh pengguna, sambil memungkinkan afiliasi dan mitra gerakan untuk mengambil informasi agregat pada lalu lintas yang diterima dari situs yang dioperasikan Wikimedia. Bagi yang ingin tahu lebih lanjut, dan mungkin yang tertarik untuk mendapat kendali lebih terhadap informasi referer, tim Keamanan Yayasan WIkimedia telah menyiapkan sebuah [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|laman di Meta-Wiki]] dengan beberapa rincian lebih lanjut dan saran aplikasi.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Apa risiko dari identifikasi ulang? ==

Dalam beberapa kejadian (setahu kami tidak melibatkan Situs Wikimedia!), para peneliti mandiri telah mampu menghubungkan informasi agregat dan nonpribadi dari berbagai sumber ke pengguna tertentu. Walau kami coba menghindari hal ini dengan berupaya menghilangkan identitas Informasi Pribadi sebelum membagikannya untuk tujuan penelitian, kami mau pastikan Anda menyadari risiko ini.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Yayasan Wikimedia pakai HTTPS di situsnya tidak? ==

Ya! Kami sudah terapkan komunikasi 'HTTPS-saja' di semua Situs Wikimedia sejak tahun [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/]' Kami juga sudah terapkan beberapa pengukuran terkait untuk lebih lanjut mengamankan lalu lintas kami di luar standar minimal industri, termasuk: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Prapemuatan peramban HSTS], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], dan sertifikat peladen [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]. Kami benamkan stempel waktu sertifikat bertanda tangan untuk [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], dan menyalakan pilihan-pilihan sandi (''cipher'') yang terbaik di jenisnya, termasuk [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] dan [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. Kami juga [[phab:T147199|menghentikan pemakaian sandi yang usang]] sebelum menjadi gawat. Untuk pembaruan akan upaya kami, lihat [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|laman status HTTPS]] kami.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Berapa lama data saya disimpan? ==

Tergantung jenis data dan cara pengumpulannya. Contoh, informasi yang bisa diakses lewat [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|alat Pemeriksa]] dihapus setelah tiga bulan. Informasi lain, misal alamat IP yang dikaitkan dengan kontribusi dari pengguna yang tidak menyunting dari [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|akun standar atau akun sementara]] bisa dilihat di riwayat versi artikel selamanya. Seberapa lama kami simpan berbagai jenis data bisa diketahui lebih lanjut di [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|pedoman pemertahanan data]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Adakah badan komunitas yang bertugas menyelidiki dugaan pelanggaran privasi? ==

Sekelompok pengguna berpengalaman yang disebut [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Komisi Ombudsman]] punya wewenang untuk menyelidiki pelanggaran dan dugaan pelanggaran atas Kebijakan Privasi ini dan membuat anjuran ke kami tentang cara menangani pelanggaran atau dugaan pelanggaran.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== Ada artikel Wikipedia tentang saya yang informasinya usang atau tidak tepat! Bagaimana cara saya memperbarui informasi itu? ==

[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Kebijakan Privasi]] utama mencakup Informasi Pribadi pengguna kami. Namun, jika ada informasi usang atau tak tepat tentang Anda di suatu artikel Wikipedia, cara terbaik untuk memperbarui artikelnya yaitu dengan mengikuti kebijakan dan tata cara konten komunitas pengguna. Anda dapat mengomentari laman Pembicaraan artikel (dengan mengklik &quot;Pembicaraan&quot; di atas kiri lalu menyuntingnya) untuk mengajukan pertanyaan atau keluhan untuk ditinjau oleh penyunting lain yang mengerjakan artikel itu. Jika tidak ingin berkomentar di situ, Anda bisa minta bantu dari relawan Wikimedia berpengalaman dengan menghubungi {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, atau [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|alamat surel yang sesuai]] dengan bahasa yang bersangkutan. Proyek-proyek Wikimedia secara bersama-sama ditulis dan diarahkan oleh konsensus. Artinya bahwa informasi di Wikipedia ditulis, diperbarui, dan diawasi oleh pengguna macam Anda. Yayasan Wikimedia yakin bahwa umumnya komunitaslah yang menentukan konten dalam proyeknya, dan kami dorong penggunaan tata cara komunitas yang mapan untuk menyelesaikan kemungkinan keluhan atau sengketa.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Apa itu sinyal Jangan Lacak (''Do Not Track'', &quot;DNT&quot;) dan bagaimana Yayasan Wikimedia menanggapinya? ==

&quot;Jangan Lacak&quot; (''Do Not Track'') atau &quot;DNT&quot; adalah cara bagi peramban Anda untuk memberitahu situs yang Anda sedang kunjungi bahwa Anda tidak mau dilacak oleh pihak ketiga yang situsnya tidak Anda kunjungi, misal layanan analitik, jaringan periklanan, dan anjungan sosial. Saat memakai mekanisme ini, sebuah sinyal dikirim oleh peramban Anda, mengungkapkan keinginan Anda bahwa Informasi Pribadi Anda, terutama tentang kegiatan daring dan interaksi jaringan Anda, tidak boleh diteruskan ke pihak ketiga. Saat menerima sebuah sinyal DNT yang dikirim peramban Anda, orang atau maujud yang memiliki situs tersebut punya pilihan untuk mematuhi atau mengabaikan permintaan sinyal.

Yayasan Wikimedia sangat berkomitmen untuk tidak membagikan Informasi Pribadi yang kami kumpul dari Anda (termasuk kegiatan daring dan interaksi jaringan dengan Situs Wikimedia) ke pihak ketiga manapun, kecuali dalam keadaan tertentu yang dirinci dalam bagian &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Kapan Kami Dapat Membagikan Informasi Anda]]&quot; dari Kebijakan Privasi kami.

Karena komitmen ini, kami melindungi semua orang, dan tidak mengubah perilaku kami sebagai tanggapan terhadap sinyal DNT dari peramban.

Anda bisa menemukan informasi lebih tentang teknologi &quot;Jangan Lacak&quot; dan usulan kebijakan di [//donottrack.us/ Jangan Lacak Kami], dan [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ Perincian Jangan Lacak dari Konsorsium].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== Saya kira saya tidak perlu akun untuk membaca atau berkontribusi! Dalam keadaan apa saya perlu mendaftar untuk membaca atau berkontribusi? ==

Anda tidak perlu membuat akun tuntuk membaca Situs Wikimedia publik. Dan dalam kebanyakan kasus, Anda tidak perlu akun untuk untuk berkontribusi ke Situs Wikimedia. Namun, ada beberapa keadaan tak umum yang mengharuskan Anda mendaftarkan akun jika ingin berkontribusi. Komunitas penyunting atau kontributor setempat (contoh, komunitas Wikipedia bahasa Inggris atau komunitas Wikikamus bahasa Melayu) atau Yayasan Wikimedia itu sendiri dapat memutuskan untuk membatasi hal yang bisa Anda ubah secara sementara atau permanen. Contoh, suatu laman dapat dibatasi penyuntingannya sementara oleh pengurus karena vandalisme atau keluhan hak cipta. Anda juga tidak dapat mengunggah muatan seperti gambar atau video tanpa masuk log karena kami perlu pastikan bahwa izin yang tepat telah diperoleh oleh pemegang hak cipta (jika medianya belum di dalam domain publik) untuk mengunggah muatan itu.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Adakah contoh jenis informasi yang tersedia melalui log publik? ==

Ya! Log publik dapat mencakup kapan akun Anda dibuat, kapan Anda hapus suatu laman, atau kapan Anda berterima kasih ke pengguna lain. Anda bisa telusuri beberapa log publik untuk wiki ini di [[Special:Log|Special:Log]] untuk melihat contohnya.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Bisakah saya hapus dan/atau anonimkan konten yang saya unggah di Situs Wikimedia, jika saya tak mau secara pribadi teridentifikasi? Jika iya, caranya? ==

Situs Wikimedia memakai riwayat revisi yang tersedia kepada umum untuk membangun konsensus, menggalakkan transparansi di kalangan kontributor dan penyunting, dan menegaskan keaslian dari konten situs kami. Maka dari itu, sekali Anda unggah informasi ke Situs Wikimedia, informasi itu terbit dan Anda mungkin tidak akan bisa menghapusnya. Bahkan jika Anda sendiri yang menghapus konten tertentu (misal dari artikel Wikipedia), konten itu akan tetap tersedia kepada umum di bagian &quot;lihat riwayat&quot; dari artikel. Dalam keadaan tertentu, Anda mungkin bisa meminta penghapusan atas artikel atau berkas atau sebagian dari riwayat laman atau berkas dari keterlihatan publik (contoh, jika Anda tak sengaja unggah Informasi Pribadi berisiko tinggi macam nomor kartu kredit Anda). Ingatlah bahwa keputusan penghapusan (misal, penghapusan keseluruhan artikel) tidaklah selalu dibuat secara pusat, dan kadang keputusannya tiba setelah pembahasan publik di kalangan komunitas Wikipedia (lihat [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|kebijakan penghapusan]] dari Wikipedia bahasa Inggris untuk acuan lebih lanjut). Tata cara ini tidak memastikan penghapusan lengkap atau menyeluruh atas muatan atau informasi yang diunggah di Situs Wikimedia.

Anda juga bisa meminta penyembunyian atas revisi, nama pengguna di riwayat suntingan dan log, atau sebagian dari entri log individu. Penyembunyian adalah proses internal wiki yang berlaku pada penggunaan khusus. Rujukilah [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|laman Meta-Wiki tentang penyembunyian]] untuk informasi dan petunjuk lebih lanjut.

Jika Anda adalah pengguna terdaftar, kami mendorong Anda untuk tidak memakai nama asli Anda untuk nama akun jika Anda tak mau orang lain menghubungkan unggahan Anda di Situs Wikimedia dengan nama akun Anda. Anda bisa tahu lebih lanjut tentang memilih nama akun di [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|kebijakan nama pengguna]] Wikipedia bahasa Inggris. Ingatlah bahwa Kebijakan Nama Pengguna ini hanya berlaku untuk Wikipedia bahasa Inggris, dan Wikipedia lainnya punya kebijakan nama pengguna yang beda-beda. Kami anjurkan mengecek kebijakan nama pengguna di proyek yang ingin Anda gunakan untuk memastikan kepatuhan atas praktik setempat.

Jika terlanjur memasukkan informasi idenitifikasi pribadi (misal nama asli Anda) ke nama akun Anda dan tidak mau teridentifikasi secara pribadi dengan kontribusi Anda, kami mendorong Anda untuk meminta penganoniman informasi (alih-alih lanjut dengan proses penghapusan dan penyembunyian tersebut) dengan meminta penggantian nama akun. Untuk informasi tentang cara mengubah nama akun, lihat [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|laman Meta-Wiki tentang Mengubah Nama Pengguna]].

Proses penghilangan identifikasi tidak bisa memastikan penganoniman yang lengkap atau menyeluruh atas muatan atau Informasi Pribadi yang diunggah di Situs Wikimedia terkait nama akun Anda sebelumnya. Jika permintaan Anda dikabulkan, penggantian nama akan hanya terjadi dalam log yang dihasilkan otomatis (misal riwayat laman) dalam kaitan dengan muatan yang Anda unggah. Penggantian nama tidak akan menghapus sebutan nama akun Anda sebelumnya oleh pihak ketiga. Contoh, jika Anda mengganti nama Akun dari SriAyu menjadi Pecintaseblak212, muatan yang Anda kontribusikann akan diatribusikan ke Pecintaseblak212, tapi jika pengguna lain telah menyebut Anda dengan nama SriAyu dalam sebuah laman pembicaraan, nama SriAyu akan terus muncul alih-alih menjadi Pecintaseblak212.

Rujukilah [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Kebijakan Privasi]] kami untuk informasi lebih tentang pilihan Anda terkait pemakaian Informasi Pribadi Anda dan cara melaksanakan pilihan tersebut.

[[File:Gimana cara Wikipedia melindungi privasi pembacanya - A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm|frameless|400px]]

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== Apa yang beda dari Kebijakan Privasi ini? Bisakah versi terdahulunya dilihat? ==

Seperti organisasi lainnya, kami telah tumbuh dan berubah selama bertahun-tahun, dan kami rancang Kebijakan Privasi ini dengan harapan bahwa versi ini lebih baik dalam mencerminkan praktik kami saat ini dan arah organisasi kami di masa depan. Tujuannya itu untuk membuat Kebijakan Privasi ini mudah dibaca dan transparan tentang cara kami mengumpul informasi dan memakainya untuk memahami dan memperbagus Situs Wikimedia lebih baik untuk Anda.

Jika Anda mau baca versi terdahulunya, kami jaga versi tersebut di arsip supaya bisa dijangkau oleh Anda. Karena kami urus Kebijakan Privasi di wiki, [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} riwayat lamannya] bisa dibuka untuk membandingkan revisi! Revisi dengan perubahan besar ada di tahun [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], dan [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== Apa bedanya antara &quot;akun standar&quot;, &quot;akun tak standar&quot;, dan &quot;akun sementara&quot;? ==

Akun standar ialah akun yang dipakai untuk menelusuri atau menyunting proyek-proyek Wikimedia utama misal Wikipedia atau Wikimedia Commons. Biasanya hanya perlu sediakan nama pengguna dan kata sandi untuk membuat akun standar dengan Yayasan Wikimedia; namun, jika akun standarnya dibuat lewat sistem yang dijalankan pihak ketiga, maka diperlukan informasi tambahan, misal alamat surel. Akun tak standar ialah akun yang dipakai untuk ikut serta dalam Gerakan Wikimedia secara lebih mendalam, di luar kegiatan membaca atau berkontribusi ke salah satu proyek utama kami seperti Wikipedia.

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|Akun sementara]] ialah akun yang otomatis dibuat ketika Anda mengambil tindakan tertentu misal menyunting di Situs Wikimedia tetapi tidak masuk log ke akun standar. Suntingan selanjutnya oleh perangkat dan peramban yang sama akan dikaitkan dengan akun sementara yang sama hingga akun itu kedaluwarsa. Anda tidak bisa masuk log ke akun sementara di luar perangkat dan peramban yang sama sebab akun-akun ini tidak punya kata sandi. Akun sementara berlaku selama 90 hari maksimal, kecuali Anda keluar dari sesi peramban lebih awal. Di saat itulah akun sementara akan otomatis dipadamkan. Akun sementara baru akan dibuat untuk suntingan selanjutnya.

Contoh, jika Anda mendaftarkan akun di situs non-wiki misal [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], atau [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Tim Tanggapan Relawan]] atau bekerja di prakarsa tertentu misal Global Education, Anda mungkin diharuskan untuk mendaftarkan akun untuk ikut serta dan pendaftaran untuk akunnya dapat memerlukan informasi tambahan selain nama pengguna dan kata sandi, misal alamat surel.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|Kembali ke Kebijakan Privasi]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Seperti apa kuki situs Wikimedia dan bagaimana penyimpanan lokal dipakai? ==

Kuki (dan teknologi penyimpanan lokal terkait) yang dipakai Situs Wikimedia umumnya tercakup ke salah satu kategori berikut:

* Fungsionalitas: Kuki ini membantu Situs Wikimedia bekerja, termasuk fitur hakiki misal log masuk dan menjaga akun sementara.
* Preferensi: Kuki ini menyimpan preferensi Anda, jadi masih bisa diingat lain kali Anda memakai situs.
* Kinerja dan Analisis: Kuki ini mengumpul informasi tentang cara Anda memakai situs kami, agar kami bisa lebih baik paham cara situsnya bekerja dan memperbagusnya untuk Anda dan pengguna lain.
* Pihak Ketiga: Kuki ini memungkinkan kami memfungsikan layanan yang disediakan pihak ketiga, misal tombol &quot;suka&quot; dan &quot;bagikan&quot;. Ketika suatu pihak ketiga menyediakan layanan seperti ini, mereka mungkin perlu memakai kuki untuk menyediakan layanan mereka. (Ini hanya akan dipakai dengan kesetujuan tegas Anda)

Untuk informasi lebih, kunjungilah [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|Pernyataan Kuki]] kami.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== Adakah pilihan bagi saya untuk membatasi penyimpanan tersimpan lokal di perangkat saya? ==

Walau bukan daftar lengkap, inilah beberapa hal yang bisa Anda buat untuk membatasi data tersimpan lokal di perangkat Anda. Anda bisa:

* mencopot atau memadamkan data tersimpan lokal tertentu di pengaturan peramban Anda;
* memakai peramban yang menyekat kuki pihak ketiga; atau
* memasang pengaya yang menyekat data tersimpan lokal, bila ada.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== Bagaimana cara mengirim surel di dalam Situs Wikimedia dan bagaimana cara mengubah pemberitahuan yang saya terima? ==

Anda bisa ubah pemberitahuan apa yang akan diterima dengan:

: (a) Mengklik tautan setelah teks &quot;Untuk mengendalikan surel mana yang kami kirimkan kepada Anda, periksa preferensi Anda&quot; di bagian bawah surel pemberitahuan mana pun yang kami kirim ke Anda seperti yang tampak di bawah ini; atau
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) Log masuk ke akun Anda, lalu klik &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; di kanan atas layar Anda, kemudian klik &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|Tab &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|Tab &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

Anda juga punya pilihan untuk menyalakan fitur &quot;Kirim surel ke pengguna ini&quot;, yang memungkinkan pengguna lain mengirim Anda surel secara langsung dengan mengklik &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; di menu Alat kotak di laman pengguna Anda. Jika fitur ini dinyalakan, alamat surel Anda tak akan ditampilkan ke pengguna lain yang menghubungi Anda (kecuali Anda membalas mereka). Jika fitur ini dinyalakan, pengguna mana pun bisa mengirim Anda surel dan kami tak bisa mengendalikan surel apa yang mereka tulis atau seberapa sering mereka kirim surel. Inilah cara menyalakan fitur ini:

: Log masuk ke akun Anda, klik &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, lalu klik &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, dan centangkan kotak &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;.

[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|Tab &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;]]
[[File:4 ENWP Enable Email.png|thumb|center|500px|Pilihan &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;]]

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#emails|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== Adakah contoh bagaimana GPS dan teknologi lokasi lainnya dipakai untuk menampilkan muatan yang lebih relevan? ==

Tentu! Jika Anda memakai aplikasi seluler Wikipedia, Anda bisa cari jika ada artikel tentang hal-hal di dekat Anda dengan memakai tombol &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot;. Perangkat Anda akan meminta izin untuk mengenali dan memakai lokasi Anda saat ini sebelum benar-benar memakai informasi lokasi Anda. Jika fitur ini diakses di komputer atau ponsel tanpa GPS, fitur ini akan memakai informasi dari peramban Anda untuk menebak lokasi Anda dan mencari artikel tentang hal-hal (misal patung depan umum atau bangunan terkenal) di dekat Anda.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== Apa maksud dari &quot;menyimpulkan lokasi geografis saya&quot;? Dan kenapa perlu begitu? ==

Kami pakai beberapa produk terunduh, misal [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], yang memungkinkan kami secara internal menentukan perkiraa lokasi pengguna kami. Dan ketika kami bilang &quot;perkiraan,&quot; kami tidak bohong; GeoIP City DB menentukan lokasi Anda di pusat data kawasan paling persis yang terkait dengan IP Anda. Satu-satunya kemungkinan untuk data kawasan terkait adalah kode pos, kota, daerah, atau negara. Kecuali Anda biasanya berada di tengah-tengah kawasan geografis paling spesifik yang terkait dengan alamat IP Anda, data yang kami peroleh kemungkinan besar tidak cukup baik untuk 'mengantar makanan' ke Anda.

Kami lakukan ini agar Anda bisa disajikan dengan muatan setempat yang sesuai misal pemberitahuan daerah, pengumuman acara, dan kampanye galang dana setempat. Untuk melihat informasi apa yang kami catat untuk alamat IP Anda, pakai [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup alat pencarian GeoIP] kami lalu cek hasilnya.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== Adakah keadaan yang mengharuskan saya memberi izin untuk membagikan informasi saya? ==

Jika Anda menerima beasiswa untuk pergi ke [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], kami dapat meminta izin Anda untuk membagikan informasi Anda dengan cabang setempat yang menyelenggarakan Wikimania agar kami bisa membuat pengaturan perjalanan yang sesuai. Atau jika Anda melamar untuk hibah, kami dapat meminta izin Anda untuk membagikan informasi Anda dengan anggota [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Panitia Penyebar Dana]] yang meninjau lamaran hibah Anda. Atau Anda mungkin mau memakai nama pengguna dan kata sandi Wikimedia Anda untuk masuk log dan mengirim informasi ke situs pihak ketiga, melalui layanan seperti [//openid.net/ OpenID] atau [//oauth.net/ OAuth], dalam hal ini informasi Anda hanya akan dikirim ke pihak ketiga itu dengan izin jelas Anda.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== Bagaimana informasi pengguna dipakai atau dibagikan, misal untuk menyelidiki, menegakkan, atau membela Situs Wikimedia dan kebijakannya? ==

Penting bagi kami untuk memastikan semua orang mengikuti aturan yang sama, dan kadang itu berarti kami perlu menyelidiki dan membagikan informasi pengguna tertentu untuk memastikan hal itu.

Misal, informasi pengguna dapat dibagikan ketika seorang [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|Pemeriksa]] menyelidiki penyalahgunaan pada Proyek, misal dicurigainya pemakaian akun ganda (atau &quot;siluman&quot;), vandalisme, pelecehan atas pengguna lain, atau perilaku mengganggu. Jika seorang pengguna ketahuan melanggar [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Ketentuan Penggunaan]] kami atau kebijakan lain yang bersangkutan, Informasi Pribadi si pengguna dapat dilepaskan ke suatu penyedia jasa, operator, atau maujud pihak ketiga lainnya, contoh, untuk membantu menyasarkan pemblokiran IP atau untuk meluncurkan keluhan ke Penyedia Jasa Internet yang bersangkutan.

Contoh lainnya, jika kami diberitahukan bahwa seorang pengguna telah membuat ancaman bom, kami mungkin harus melaporkan beberapa informasi terkait ancaman itu ke pihak berwenang setempat untuk menjaga keselamatan.

Kami juga dapat memakai Informasi Pribadi untuk tujuan amal sah lainnya yang dijelaskan dalam Kebijakan Privasi kami.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== Adakah keadaan di mana informasi saya akan dibagikan ke penyedia pihak ketiga? ==

Ya! Situs Wikimedia mengandalkan penyedia penyelenggaraan, penyedia jaringan serat optik, pusat data, dan penyedia jasa serta kontraktor lainnya. Kami berkontrak dengan mereka, dan mereka hanya punya akses ke data Anda untuk melakukan jasa untuk kami sesuai dengan kebijakan ini. Di waktu lain, kami dapat memakai penyedia pihak ketiga untuk membantu kami mengelola informasi yang kami simpan atau pakai, menangani permintaan dari pengguna, dan kebutuhan operasional lainnya (misal audit). Contoh, kami mungkin pakai sistem pengelolaan hibah pihak ketiga untuk memegang informasi pelamar hibah dan menyederhanakan dan mengefisienkan proses kami atau kami mungkin pakai penyedia pihak ketiga untuk jasa surel dan pemberitahuan untuk staf dan pengguna.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== Informasi apa yang diungkapkan ketika saya mengklik sebuah tautan di situs Wikimedia yang membawa saya ke situs pihak ketiga eksternal? ==

Ketika Anda klik sebuah tautan di situs Wikimedia yang membawa Anda ke situs ekstenal, informasi referer hanya mengirimkan asal domain Anda (bukan laman Wikipedia tertentu yang dikunjungi) ke tempat tujuan pihak ketiga itu. Contoh, jika Anda sedang membaca artikel di Wikipedia dan mengklik kutipan yang membawa Anda ke sebuah artikel berita di situs luar, informasi referer hanya berisi domain Wikipedia, bukan URL artikel khusus. Kebijakan referer semacam ini dikenal sebagai [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].

Kami batasi informasi referer lewat cara ini untuk melindungi privasi pengguna, dan menghindari mengungkapkan informasi sensisitf tentang laman yang dilihat oleh pengguna, sambil memungkinkan afiliasi dan mitra gerakan untuk mengambil informasi agregat pada lalu lintas yang diterima dari situs yang dioperasikan Wikimedia. Bagi yang ingin tahu lebih lanjut, dan mungkin yang tertarik untuk mendapat kendali lebih terhadap informasi referer, tim Keamanan Yayasan WIkimedia telah menyiapkan sebuah [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|laman di Meta-Wiki]] dengan beberapa rincian lebih lanjut dan saran aplikasi.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== Apa risiko dari identifikasi ulang? ==

Dalam beberapa kejadian (setahu kami tidak melibatkan Situs Wikimedia!), para peneliti mandiri telah mampu menghubungkan informasi agregat dan nonpribadi dari berbagai sumber ke pengguna tertentu. Walau kami coba menghindari hal ini dengan berupaya menghilangkan identitas Informasi Pribadi sebelum membagikannya untuk tujuan penelitian, kami mau pastikan Anda menyadari risiko ini.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== Yayasan Wikimedia pakai HTTPS di situsnya tidak? ==

Ya! Kami sudah terapkan komunikasi 'HTTPS-saja' di semua Situs Wikimedia sejak tahun [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/]' Kami juga sudah terapkan beberapa pengukuran terkait untuk lebih lanjut mengamankan lalu lintas kami di luar standar minimal industri, termasuk: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Prapemuatan peramban HSTS], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], dan sertifikat peladen [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]. Kami benamkan stempel waktu sertifikat bertanda tangan untuk [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], dan menyalakan pilihan-pilihan sandi (''cipher'') yang terbaik di jenisnya, termasuk [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] dan [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. Kami juga [[phab:T147199|menghentikan pemakaian sandi yang usang]] sebelum menjadi gawat. Untuk pembaruan akan upaya kami, lihat [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|laman status HTTPS]] kami.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== Berapa lama data saya disimpan? ==

Tergantung jenis data dan cara pengumpulannya. Contoh, informasi yang bisa diakses lewat [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|alat Pemeriksa]] dihapus setelah tiga bulan. Informasi lain, misal alamat IP yang dikaitkan dengan kontribusi dari pengguna yang tidak menyunting dari [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|akun standar atau akun sementara]] bisa dilihat di riwayat versi artikel selamanya. Seberapa lama kami simpan berbagai jenis data bisa diketahui lebih lanjut di [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|pedoman pemertahanan data]].

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== Adakah badan komunitas yang bertugas menyelidiki dugaan pelanggaran privasi? ==

Sekelompok pengguna berpengalaman yang disebut [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|Komisi Ombudsman]] punya wewenang untuk menyelidiki pelanggaran dan dugaan pelanggaran atas Kebijakan Privasi ini dan membuat anjuran ke kami tentang cara menangani pelanggaran atau dugaan pelanggaran.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== Ada artikel Wikipedia tentang saya yang informasinya usang atau tidak tepat! Bagaimana cara saya memperbarui informasi itu? ==

[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Kebijakan Privasi]] utama mencakup Informasi Pribadi pengguna kami. Namun, jika ada informasi usang atau tak tepat tentang Anda di suatu artikel Wikipedia, cara terbaik untuk memperbarui artikelnya yaitu dengan mengikuti kebijakan dan tata cara konten komunitas pengguna. Anda dapat mengomentari laman Pembicaraan artikel (dengan mengklik &quot;Pembicaraan&quot; di atas kiri lalu menyuntingnya) untuk mengajukan pertanyaan atau keluhan untuk ditinjau oleh penyunting lain yang mengerjakan artikel itu. Jika tidak ingin berkomentar di situ, Anda bisa minta bantu dari relawan Wikimedia berpengalaman dengan menghubungi {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, atau [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|alamat surel yang sesuai]] dengan bahasa yang bersangkutan. Proyek-proyek Wikimedia secara bersama-sama ditulis dan diarahkan oleh konsensus. Artinya bahwa informasi di Wikipedia ditulis, diperbarui, dan diawasi oleh pengguna macam Anda. Yayasan Wikimedia yakin bahwa umumnya komunitaslah yang menentukan konten dalam proyeknya, dan kami dorong penggunaan tata cara komunitas yang mapan untuk menyelesaikan kemungkinan keluhan atau sengketa.

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== Apa itu sinyal Jangan Lacak (''Do Not Track'', &quot;DNT&quot;) dan bagaimana Yayasan Wikimedia menanggapinya? ==

&quot;Jangan Lacak&quot; (''Do Not Track'') atau &quot;DNT&quot; adalah cara bagi peramban Anda untuk memberitahu situs yang Anda sedang kunjungi bahwa Anda tidak mau dilacak oleh pihak ketiga yang situsnya tidak Anda kunjungi, misal layanan analitik, jaringan periklanan, dan anjungan sosial. Saat memakai mekanisme ini, sebuah sinyal dikirim oleh peramban Anda, mengungkapkan keinginan Anda bahwa Informasi Pribadi Anda, terutama tentang kegiatan daring dan interaksi jaringan Anda, tidak boleh diteruskan ke pihak ketiga. Saat menerima sebuah sinyal DNT yang dikirim peramban Anda, orang atau maujud yang memiliki situs tersebut punya pilihan untuk mematuhi atau mengabaikan permintaan sinyal.

Yayasan Wikimedia sangat berkomitmen untuk tidak membagikan Informasi Pribadi yang kami kumpul dari Anda (termasuk kegiatan daring dan interaksi jaringan dengan Situs Wikimedia) ke pihak ketiga manapun, kecuali dalam keadaan tertentu yang dirinci dalam bagian &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|Kapan Kami Dapat Membagikan Informasi Anda]]&quot; dari Kebijakan Privasi kami.

Karena komitmen ini, kami melindungi semua orang, dan tidak mengubah perilaku kami sebagai tanggapan terhadap sinyal DNT dari peramban.

Anda bisa menemukan informasi lebih tentang teknologi &quot;Jangan Lacak&quot; dan usulan kebijakan di [//donottrack.us/ Jangan Lacak Kami], dan [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ Perincian Jangan Lacak dari Konsorsium].

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== Saya kira saya tidak perlu akun untuk membaca atau berkontribusi! Dalam keadaan apa saya perlu mendaftar untuk membaca atau berkontribusi? ==

Anda tidak perlu membuat akun tuntuk membaca Situs Wikimedia publik. Dan dalam kebanyakan kasus, Anda tidak perlu akun untuk untuk berkontribusi ke Situs Wikimedia. Namun, ada beberapa keadaan tak umum yang mengharuskan Anda mendaftarkan akun jika ingin berkontribusi. Komunitas penyunting atau kontributor setempat (contoh, komunitas Wikipedia bahasa Inggris atau komunitas Wikikamus bahasa Melayu) atau Yayasan Wikimedia itu sendiri dapat memutuskan untuk membatasi hal yang bisa Anda ubah secara sementara atau permanen. Contoh, suatu laman dapat dibatasi penyuntingannya sementara oleh pengurus karena vandalisme atau keluhan hak cipta. Anda juga tidak dapat mengunggah muatan seperti gambar atau video tanpa masuk log karena kami perlu pastikan bahwa izin yang tepat telah diperoleh oleh pemegang hak cipta (jika medianya belum di dalam domain publik) untuk mengunggah muatan itu.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== Adakah contoh jenis informasi yang tersedia melalui log publik? ==

Ya! Log publik dapat mencakup kapan akun Anda dibuat, kapan Anda hapus suatu laman, atau kapan Anda berterima kasih ke pengguna lain. Anda bisa telusuri beberapa log publik untuk wiki ini di [[Special:Log|Special:Log]] untuk melihat contohnya.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#PublicLogsReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|anonymize}}
== Bisakah saya hapus dan/atau anonimkan konten yang saya unggah di Situs Wikimedia, jika saya tak mau secara pribadi teridentifikasi? Jika iya, caranya? ==

Situs Wikimedia memakai riwayat revisi yang tersedia kepada umum untuk membangun konsensus, menggalakkan transparansi di kalangan kontributor dan penyunting, dan menegaskan keaslian dari konten situs kami. Maka dari itu, sekali Anda unggah informasi ke Situs Wikimedia, informasi itu terbit dan Anda mungkin tidak akan bisa menghapusnya. Bahkan jika Anda sendiri yang menghapus konten tertentu (misal dari artikel Wikipedia), konten itu akan tetap tersedia kepada umum di bagian &quot;lihat riwayat&quot; dari artikel. Dalam keadaan tertentu, Anda mungkin bisa meminta penghapusan atas artikel atau berkas atau sebagian dari riwayat laman atau berkas dari keterlihatan publik (contoh, jika Anda tak sengaja unggah Informasi Pribadi berisiko tinggi macam nomor kartu kredit Anda). Ingatlah bahwa keputusan penghapusan (misal, penghapusan keseluruhan artikel) tidaklah selalu dibuat secara pusat, dan kadang keputusannya tiba setelah pembahasan publik di kalangan komunitas Wikipedia (lihat [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|kebijakan penghapusan]] dari Wikipedia bahasa Inggris untuk acuan lebih lanjut). Tata cara ini tidak memastikan penghapusan lengkap atau menyeluruh atas muatan atau informasi yang diunggah di Situs Wikimedia.

Anda juga bisa meminta penyembunyian atas revisi, nama pengguna di riwayat suntingan dan log, atau sebagian dari entri log individu. Penyembunyian adalah proses internal wiki yang berlaku pada penggunaan khusus. Rujukilah [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|laman Meta-Wiki tentang penyembunyian]] untuk informasi dan petunjuk lebih lanjut.

Jika Anda adalah pengguna terdaftar, kami mendorong Anda untuk tidak memakai nama asli Anda untuk nama akun jika Anda tak mau orang lain menghubungkan unggahan Anda di Situs Wikimedia dengan nama akun Anda. Anda bisa tahu lebih lanjut tentang memilih nama akun di [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|kebijakan nama pengguna]] Wikipedia bahasa Inggris. Ingatlah bahwa Kebijakan Nama Pengguna ini hanya berlaku untuk Wikipedia bahasa Inggris, dan Wikipedia lainnya punya kebijakan nama pengguna yang beda-beda. Kami anjurkan mengecek kebijakan nama pengguna di proyek yang ingin Anda gunakan untuk memastikan kepatuhan atas praktik setempat.

Jika terlanjur memasukkan informasi idenitifikasi pribadi (misal nama asli Anda) ke nama akun Anda dan tidak mau teridentifikasi secara pribadi dengan kontribusi Anda, kami mendorong Anda untuk meminta penganoniman informasi (alih-alih lanjut dengan proses penghapusan dan penyembunyian tersebut) dengan meminta penggantian nama akun. Untuk informasi tentang cara mengubah nama akun, lihat [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|laman Meta-Wiki tentang Mengubah Nama Pengguna]].

Proses penghilangan identifikasi tidak bisa memastikan penganoniman yang lengkap atau menyeluruh atas muatan atau Informasi Pribadi yang diunggah di Situs Wikimedia terkait nama akun Anda sebelumnya. Jika permintaan Anda dikabulkan, penggantian nama akan hanya terjadi dalam log yang dihasilkan otomatis (misal riwayat laman) dalam kaitan dengan muatan yang Anda unggah. Penggantian nama tidak akan menghapus sebutan nama akun Anda sebelumnya oleh pihak ketiga. Contoh, jika Anda mengganti nama Akun dari SriAyu menjadi Pecintaseblak212, muatan yang Anda kontribusikann akan diatribusikan ke Pecintaseblak212, tapi jika pengguna lain telah menyebut Anda dengan nama SriAyu dalam sebuah laman pembicaraan, nama SriAyu akan terus muncul alih-alih menjadi Pecintaseblak212.

Rujukilah [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Kebijakan Privasi]] kami untuk informasi lebih tentang pilihan Anda terkait pemakaian Informasi Pribadi Anda dan cara melaksanakan pilihan tersebut.

[[&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;File:How does Wikipedia protect readers privacy – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm&lt;/span&gt;|frameless|400px]]

{{anchor|versionsdifferences}}
== このプライバシーポリシーでは、どういう変更が行われましたか？ 前のバージョンを見ることはできますか？ ==

多くの組織同様に、当財団も年を経るごとに成長し、変容しており、当財団の現情だけでなく、将来の構想をよりよく反映するものとしてこの個人情報保護方針（プライバシーポリシー）の草案を作成しました。その目標はウィキメディアのサイト群をさらに理解しやすく改善するにあたり、このプライバシーポリシーの読みやすさ、さらに利用者情報を収集し利用する当財団の方法の透明性の向上にあります。

過去のプライバシーポリシーをお読みになりたい場合は、以前のプライバシーポリシーの各版をアーカイブしてありますので閲覧可能です。プライバシーポリシーはウィキで管理しており、当該ページの履歴 ([https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_policy&amp;action=history 履歴]) を開くと改訂内容を比較できます！ 大規模な改訂を行った版は、2003年 ([https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_policy&amp;oldid=5334 2003年])、2006年 ([https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_policy&amp;oldid=14088 2006年]) と2008年([https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_policy&amp;oldid=1041992 2008年]) と2014年 ([https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_policy&amp;oldid=8796637 2014年]) です。

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== 「標準アカウント」と「仮アカウント」または「非標準アカウント」の違いは？ ==

標準アカウントでログインすると、ウィキペディアやウィキメディア・コモンズといったウィキメディアの主要プロジェクトを閲覧または編集できます。一般にウィキメディア財団の標準アカウントの登録には、利用者名とパスワードのみ提供すれば構いません。ところが、第三者が運営するシステムを利用して標準アカウントを登録すると、その他に電子メールアドレスなどの情報を要求される場合があります。非標準アカウントを登録すると、ウィキペディアのような当財団の主要プロジェクトにおいて、閲覧や寄稿を越えてウィキメディア運動により深く参加するためです。

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

例えば、非ウィキサイトの [[phab:|Phabricator]]、[[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]]、[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] あるいは Global Education など特別イニシアチブで作業したりするには、参加の条件としてアカウント登録を義務付けられる場合があり、こういったアカウント登録には利用者名やパスワード以外にメールアドレスなどの追加情報を要求されることがあります。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#noaccount|プライバシー・ポリシーに戻る]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== Cookie の種類とローカル ストレージの用途を明示してください。 ==

はい。ウィキメディアのサイト群で使われるCookie（および関連するローカルストレージの保存技術）は、一般に以下のカテゴリーに属します。

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;機能：これらのクッキーはログインなどの基本的機能を含め、ウェブサイトが動くように支えます。&lt;/span&gt;
* 個人設定：これらのクッキーはユーザーの好みを保存し、ユーザーが次回そのサイトを利用する際に設定を呼び出せるようにします。
* パフォーマンスと分析：これらのクッキーは、利用者が当財団ウェブサイトをどう利用しているか情報を収集することにより、当財団はウェブサイトの機能をよりよく把握し、あなたや他のユーザーに役立つよう改善します。
* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;サードパーティ: これらの Cookie は「いいね!」や「シェア」のボタンなど、サード パーティ提供のサービスを当財団が提供できるようにします。サードパーティはこれらのサービスを提供するに当たり、サービスの利用と引き換えにクッキーの使用を条件にする場合があります（これらの使用は利用者が肯定的に同意する場合に限定されます。）&lt;/span&gt;

詳細な情報は[[Cookie_statement|Cookie Statement]]をご覧ください。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|limitstorageFAQ}}
== 私の装置上でローカルに保存されているデータの利用を制限しなくてはならない場合の選択肢には何がありますか？ ==

これは網羅的なリストではありませんが、以下はあなたの装置上でローカルに保存されているデータの利用を制限する手段となります。以下を行うことができます。

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;ブラウザの設定で特定のローカル保存データを削除または無効化する。&lt;/span&gt;
* サード パーティ Cookie をブロックできるブラウザーを使用する。
* 利用できる場合は、ローカル保存データをブロックするプラグインをインストールする。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== ウィキサイト内でメールを送るにはどうすればいいですか？また、受け取る通知を変更するにはどうしますか？ ==

受け取る通知を変更するには以下のいずれかの方法を使用してください。

: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;(a) 当財団からの通知メールにあるリンクをクリックする。お送りするすべての通知メールには、最下部に「受信メールを管理するには、個人設定を確認してください」という文章に続いて、以下に示すリンクがあります。&lt;/span&gt;
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;アカウントにログインして、画面右上の「{{int:mypreferences}}」をクリックし、そこから「{{int:prefs-echo}}」をクリックしてください。&lt;/span&gt;
: [[File:1_JAWP_Preferences.png|thumb|center|500px|「{{int:mypreferences}}」タブ]]
: [[File:1_JAWP_Preferences.png|thumb|center|500px|「{{int:prefs-echo}}」タブ]]

選択肢として「この利用者にメールを送信する」機能を有効にすることもでき、ご自身の利用者ページでほかの利用者がツールボックス・メニューの「{{int:emailuser}}&quot; 」を押すと、メールが直接、届きます。この機能を有効にしても、ほかの利用者が連絡してくる時点ではご自身のメールアドレスが相手に開示されることはありません (ただし、ご自身が返信すると開示されます。) この機能を有効にした場合、ご自身を除くどの利用者からもメール送信が可能になるため、どんなメールがどれくらいの頻度で送信されるか、ウィキメディア財団では管理しません。この機能を有効にする手順は以下のとおりです。

: アカウントにログインして、「{{int:mypreferences}}」、「{{int:prefs-personal}}」の順にクリックし、「{{int:allowemail}}」のチェックボックスをチェックを入れてください。

[[File:3_JAWP_User_Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; tab]]
[[File:1_JAWP_Preferences.png|thumb|center|500px|「{{int:allowemail}}」タブ]]

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#emails|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== 私にもっと該当するコンテンツを提供するためのGPSとその他の位置技術を使用する方法の例を挙げて下さいませんか？ ==

もちろん！ ウィキペディアの携帯機器版アプリケーションを使用している場合は「{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}」ボタンを押すと、ご自身に近い場所または事柄に関する記事があるかどうかわかります。実際に利用者の位置情報を使用する前に、携帯機器から現在地の検出と利用の許可を求めてきます。この機能についてGPS を搭載しないノートパソコン、デスクトップその他の機器からアクセスすると、ブラウザーの情報を使って利用者の位置を見つけ出し、近隣の場所や事柄の記事を調べます (公共の彫像や著名な建物など)。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== ウィキメディアが「利用者の地理的位置を推論する」とはどういう意味ですか？ また、そのような操作が必要な理由とは？ ==

ウィキメディア財団は[//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMindの GeoIP City DB]など、一部のダウンロード製品を利用しており、ユーザーのおおよその位置を財団内部で判断できます。私たちが「おおよそ」と言う場合の意味は次のとおりです。すなわち GeoIP City DB は利用者のIPに関連する最も正確なエリアデータを取得すると、その中心に利用者がいると結論します。関連するエリアデータとは、郵便番号、都市、地域または国に限定されます。IPアドレスに関連して最も位置を特定できるエリアデータがわかり当該の利用者が常にその地理的な中心にいる場合を除くと、サンドイッチをお届けしようとしてもウィキメディア財団が取得したデータでは役には立ちません。

ウィキメディア財団がこれを行うのは、地元の案内、イベントのお知らせ、募金運動などの地元の適切な地域情報に役立つためです。どのような情報が、あなたのIPアドレスに記録されているかを見るためには、いつでもウィキメディア財団のGeoIP の検索ツールを読み込み、結果を確認できます。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== 私の情報を共有する許可をする場合は、どのような場合か例を挙げてくださいませんか？ ==

奨学金をもらって[http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/ ウィキマニア]にいく場合は、ウィキメディア財団が適切に旅行を手配できるようその年にウィキマニアを主催している地元総会と受給者の情報を共有するよう、ウィキメディア財団は許可を求めることができます。あるいは、援助金を申請する場合は、援助金の申請を審査する[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Funds_Dissemination_Committee funds dissemination committee 資金配分委員会]の委員と受給者の情報を共有するよう、ウィキメディア財団から許可を求めることができます。あるいは、受給者はウィキメディアの利用者名とパスワードを使ってログインしてから、[http://openid.net/ OpenID (http://openid.net/)] もしくは [http://oauth.net/ OAuth (http://oauth.net/)] のサービス経由で特定の第三者のサイトに情報を送信でき、その場合、受給者が明示的に許可した第三者のサイトに限定して、情報が送信されます。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== ウィキメディア財団が利用者の情報を共有するのは、ほかにどのような場合がありますか？　たとえばウィキメディアのサイト群について方針の調査や徹底または弁護するなどですか？ ==

ウィキメディア財団にとって、どなたでも同じ規則に従って確実に行動できるようにすることこそ重要であり、確実にそうあるように、ときにはウィキメディア財団が特定のユーザー情報を調査し、共有する必要が生じることを意味します。

利用者情報の使用や共有ができるのは、例えば [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CheckUser_policy チェックユーザー]が特定のプロジェクトで、悪意のある「自作自演」の利用の疑い（二重取得したアカウント）、荒らしの行為、他のユーザーに対する嫌がらせ行為または破壊的な行動などの不正使用を調査する時です。ユーザーがウィキメディア財団の[https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use 利用規約]またはその他の関連の方針に違反していると判明した場合、当該のユーザーの個人情報を接続業者、通信業者またはその他の第三者の事業体に公開することができ、ブロックするIPの特定あるいは該当のインターネットのサービス・プロバイダーに申し立てをする補助を受けます。

別の例として、ウィキメディア財団がユーザーが爆弾を仕掛けたと脅かす通知を受けた場合は、ウィキメディア財団は、人命救助のために現地当局にその脅迫に関する情報の一部を報告しなければいけない場合があります。

個人情報はプライバシー・ポリシーに説明するその他の合法的な慈善目的に使用することがあります。
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== あなたが第三者のプロバイダーと私の情報を共有する例やカテゴリーについて、いくつか挙げていただけませんか？ ==

もちろんです! ウィキメディアのサイト群は、例えば接続業者、光ファイバーの通信業者、データ・センターおよびその他のサービス提供者と請負業者に依存しています。財団はこれらサービス提供者と契約し、業者はこの契約と整合性のあるサービスの提供に限定して本方針に準拠し利用者のデータにアクセスします。ほかにウィキメディア財団が保存又は利用する情報について第三者のプロバイダーを使う場合とは、それらの管理や、利用者から寄せられたリクエストへの対応、ならびに他の運用上のニーズに手助けを受けるときとします（監査など）。&lt;!-- may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). --&gt;具体的には財団は第三者の助成金管理システムを使い、助成金申請者の情報を保持し、財団の申請プロセスをより簡略化し効率化する場合があり、あるいは職員向け電子メールサービスに第三者のプロバイダーを利用する場合があります。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== ウィキメディアサイト上のリンクをクリックして外部のサードパーティサイトにアクセスすると、どのような情報が公開されますか？ ==

ウィキメディアサイトでリンクをクリックすると、外部ウェブサイトに送信される。 参照情報は、特定のウィキメディアページではなく、あなたのドメインの起源のみを第三者の目的地に転送します。 例えば、ウィキペディア上の記事を読んで、外部サイトでニュース記事に案内する引用をクリックすると、参照情報はウィキペਡੀਆドメインのみを含みます。 特定の記事URLではありません。 このタイプのリファレルポリシーは、 [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;]として知られています。//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
このように参照元情報を制限してユーザーのプライバシーを保護し、ユーザーが閲覧したページに関する機密情報を明らかにすることを避けながら、ウィキメディアが運営するWebサイトから受信したトラフィックに関する集約情報はウィキメディア運動の提携団体ならびにパートナーに収集されています。詳細を知りたい、あるいは参照元情報を管理したいという方のために、ウィキメディア財団セキュリティチームでは[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Referral_Headers Meta上にページ]を整え、詳細と推奨ツールを掲載しています。
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== 再識別のリスクとは? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
少数の例では、独立の研究者が個別の複数の情報源の個人情報でない集約情報を用いて、特定のユーザーにリンクすることが可能でした（ウィキメディア財団が知りうる限りウィキメディア・サイト群は無関与です！）。ウィキメディア財団はこの事態を回避しようと、調査目的で共有する前に情報を匿名化するよう努めますが、利用者の皆さんには、このリスクを認識していただきたいと考えます。
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== サイト群は HTTPS 接続を適用していますか? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
もちろんです！ [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]以降、ウィキメディアのサイト群すべてにHTTPS限定の通信を実装してきました。またトラフィックを業界最小基準を超えてさらに安全にするため、以下のような関連対策もいくつか実施しました。つまり[[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]]、[//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTSプリロード]、[[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSPステープル]]、[[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]サーバー証明書などです。[[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|証明書の透明性]]に署名付き証明書のタイムスタンプを埋め込み、[[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]]や[//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]などクラス最高の暗号化オプションが有効です。またそれらが次の緊急事態に陥らないうちに、[[phab:T147199|古い暗号の廃止]]をしています。最新の取り組みについては、[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPSの現状のページ]]を参照してください。
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== ウィキメディアで私のデーターを保持する期間の例を、いくつか挙げてくださいませんか？ ==

データの種類とそれがどのように収集されたかによります。例えばチェックユーザー・ツールでアクセスできる情報は、3ヶ月後に削除されます。匿名利用者の寄稿に対応するIPアドレスは、記事の編集履歴で永久に閲覧できる場合があります。ウィキメディア財団の[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_retention_guidelines データ保持ガイドライン]では、データの種類別に保持する期間の詳細を参照できます。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-duration|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== プライバシー違反の申立ての調査の担当をするコミュニティ組織はありますか？ ==

[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|オンブズ委員会]]と呼ばれる経験を有する利用者のグループは、本プライバシー・ポリシーに違反および違反の申立てを調査し、違反または違反の申立てにどのように対処する方法についてウィキメディア財団に勧告を行う権限を有しています。

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#protection-means|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|correctingpublishedinfoFAQ}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;ウィキペディアの記事に私に関する古くなったまたは不正確な情報があります！私の情報を更新する方法を教えてくださいませんか？&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
ウィキメディアは、共同で書き込まれ善意により運営されています。これは、ウィキぺディアの情報があなたのようなユーザーのグローバル・コミュニティによって書き込まれ、更新され、規制されていることを意味します。もしあなた自身がウィキペディアの記事の対象者である、あるいは議論のページで言及され、不正確または古くなった情報が含まれていると考える場合は、ユーザー・コミュニティのコンテンツ方針と手順に従い、それらに対処する必要があります。これについて助けを得るには、{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}に電子メールで連絡をしてください。ウィキメディア財団は、コンテンツの紛争に関与''せず''、紛争の火種の解決には、コミュニティと交渉することが最善の方策と考えます。
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;DNT（Do Not Track:追跡禁止）信号とは何でしょうか、またウィキメディア財団はそれにどのように応えるのでしょうか?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
「トラッキング防止」または「DNT」は、訪問しなかった第三者のウェブサイト、つまり分析サービス、広告ネットワークあるいはSNSなどに対して、ご利用のウェブブラウザが追跡されたくないことを告げる手段です。このメカニズムを使用するとご利用のブラウザが信号を送信し、利用者の個人情報、特にオンライン活動やネットワークとのやり取りに関する情報は第三者に渡したくないという意図を伝えます。ご利用のブラウザが送ったDNT信号を受信すると、上記の要求を受け入れるか無視するか、ウェブサイトの所有者または所有実体に選択肢があります。
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
ウィキメディア財団は、「[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|いつ共有するか]]」に詳述された特定の状況下を除き、あなたから収集した情報 (利用者のオンラインの活動やウィキメディア・サイト群との関わり) について、いかなる第三者とも共有しないことに強く同意しています。
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
この約束により私たちは皆さんすべてを守り、ウェブブラウザのDNT信号に反応して行動を変えることはありません。
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
「トラッキング防止」技術と方針の提案の詳細は、[//donottrack.us/ 私たちを追跡しないでください]ならびに[//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Webコンソーシアムのトラッキング防止の規定]を参照してください。
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|needaccount}}
== 読んだり投稿したりするのに、アカウントは登録する必要がないと思っていました！ 登録しないと読んだり投稿したりできない状況はありますか？ ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
公開されたウィキメディアのサイト群を読むには、アカウントは不要です。またほとんどの場合、ウィキメディアのサイト群に寄稿するときもアカウントは必要ありません。ただし、貢献をしたいときにアカウント登録が必要な場合はまれにあります。利用者が変更できる項目には、編集者や寄稿者のローカルコミュニティ（例えば英語版ウィキペディアのコミュニティ、マレー語版ウィクショナリーのコミュニティなど）、あるいはウィキメディア財団自体が一時的または恒久的に制限すると決める場合があります。たとえば破壊行為や著作権の問題が原因の場合、特定のページの編集を一時的に制限して、経験豊富なユーザーまたは管理者限定で許可することができます。画像や動画などのコンテンツを投稿するには、著作権者から適切な許可を得たと確認する必要があるため（メディアがまだパブリックドメインにない場合）、ログインしないとコンテンツのアップロードはできません。
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#notrequired|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|publiclogsFAQ}}
== 公開ログ記録から利用できる情報にはどのようなものがあるか、具体例を示していただけませんか? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;個人を特定したくない場合に、ウィキメディアのサイト群に投稿したコンテンツを削除または匿名化することはできますか？ もしできるなら方法は？&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
ウィキメディアのサイト群は公に利用可能な改訂履歴を使用して、合意形成、寄稿者と編集者の間の透明性を高め、当財団サイトのコンテンツの信頼性を確認します。そのため一度ウィキメディアのサイト群に情報を投稿すると、その情報は一般に公開され、削除はできなくなります。たとえ、利用者自身で（例えばウィキペディアの記事から）特定のコンテンツを削除したとしても、それでも記事の「閲覧履歴」の節に公開され続けます。特定の状況下ではページやファイル、あるいはページやファイルの履歴の一部を一般公開された場所から削除するよう要求することができます（たとえば、誤ってクレジットカード番号などの危険性の高い個人情報を投稿した場合）。削除の決定（つまり記事全体の削除）は常に一元的に行われるわけではなく、時々ウィキペディアのコミュニティの間での公開討論の後に実行される点にご注意ください （詳細は英語版ウィキペディアの[[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]]（[[:w:ja:Wikipedia:削除の方針|日本語版の削除の方針]]）を参照してください。）この手順では、ウィキメディアのサイト群に掲載されたコンテンツまたは情報を完全にまたは納得のいく範囲で削除すると保証する者ではありません。
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
編集履歴、編集履歴やログ記録のユーザー名、個々のログエントリの一部を非表示にするには、オーバーサイトを依頼することもできます。抑制は特定の用途に適用されるウィキ上のプロセスです。詳しい情報と方法は[[$suppress|Meta-Wikiの抑制に関するページ]]を参照してください。
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
登録利用者で、他の人にウィキメディアのサイト群への投稿と自分自身の実名の関連を知られたくないなら、実名をユーザー名として使わないようお勧めします。ユーザー名の選択の詳細は、英語版ウィキペディアの[[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]をご覧ください。このユーザー名の方針は英語版ウィキペディアにのみ適用され、言語版が異なると方針が異なります（[[:w:ja:Wikipedia:利用者名|日本語版のユーザー名の方針]]）。現地の慣習に沿っているかどうか確めるためにも、使用するプロジェクトのユーザー名方針を確認することをお勧めします。
&lt;/div&gt;

ユーザー名にすでに（実名など）個人特定情報が含まれていて、投稿で個人を特定されたくない場合は、ユーザー名の変更を依頼して情報の匿名化（上記の削除や抑制の手続きを進めるのではなく）を要請するようにお勧めします。ユーザー名変更の方法は、[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|Meta-Wikiのユーザー名の変更ページ]]を参照してください。

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
匿名化プロセスでは、ウィキメディア・サイト群に以前のユーザー名で掲載されたすべてのコンテンツまたは情報を、完全または包括的に匿名化できると保証するものではありません。依頼が承認された場合、名前の変更は投稿したコンテンツに関連して自動生成されたログ（ページ履歴など）でのみ発生します。名前を変更しても、第三者による以前のユーザー名の記載は削除されません。たとえばユーザー名をMichaelPaulからOwlwatcher345に変更した場合、投稿したコンテンツはOwlwatcher345に帰属しますが、トークページで別のユーザーにMichaelPaulという名前で紹介された場合、Owlwatcher345ではなくMichaelPaulの名前で表示され続けます。
&lt;/div&gt;

あなたの個人情報をウィキメディアに利用させる選択肢と、その選択肢の行使の方法について、詳細は[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|プライバシー・ポリシー]]を参照してください。

== 이 개인 정보 보호 정책이 다른 점은 무엇인가요? 옛 정책을 볼 수 있나요? ==

많은 조직과 마찬가지로, 우리는 수년에 걸쳐 성장하고 변화했으며, 현재의 관행뿐만 아니라 미래에 가고자하는 방향을 더 잘 반영하기 위해 이 개인 정보 보호 정책의 초안을 작성했습니다. 우리의 목표는 이 개인 정보 보호 정책을 읽기 쉽고 투명하게 정보를 수집하고 위키미디어 사이트를 더 잘 이해하고 개선하는 데 사용하는 것입니다.

과거의 개인정보 보호정책을 읽는 데 관심이 있는 경우 이전 버전의 개인정보 보호정책에 접근할 수 있고 검토할 수 있도록 아카이브에 보관합니다. 우리는 위키에서 개인 정보 보호 정책을 유지하기 때문에 [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} 페이지 역사]를 사용하여 수정 사항을 비교할 수 있습니다! 주요 개정 사항은 [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003년]과 [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006년], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008년], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014년]입니다.

{{anchor|standardaccount}}
== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;&quot;표준 계정&quot;과 &quot;비표준 계정&quot;이란 무엇인가요?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
표준 계정은 위키백과 또는 위키미디어 공용과 같은 주요 위키미디어 프로젝트를 검색하거나 편집하기 위해 가입할 수 있는 계정입니다. 일반적으로 WMF로 표준 계정을 만들기 위해 사용자 이름과 암호 이상을 제공할 필요는 없습니다. 그러나 제3자가 운영하는 시스템을 사용하여 표준 계정을 생성하는 경우 이메일 주소와 같은 추가 정보를 제공해야 할 수 있습니다. 비표준 계정은 위키백과와 같은 주요 프로젝트 중 하나를 읽거나 기여하는 것 외에 더 깊이 있는 방식으로 위키미디어 운동에 참여하기 위해 등록할 수 있는 계정입니다.
&lt;br/&gt;
예를 들어, [$phabricatorlink 파브리케이터]와 [$gerritlink 게릿](Gerrit) 또는 [[$otrslink|VRT]]와 같은 비-위키 사이트에 계정을 등록하거나 글로벌 교육(Global Education)과 같은 특별 이니셔티브에서 작업하는 경우 참여하려면 계정을 등록해야 할 수 있습니다. 이러한 계정에 대한 등록에는 이메일 주소와 같은 사용자 이름 및 비밀번호 이외의 추가 정보가 필요할 수 있습니다.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|cookieFAQ}}
== 쿠키 유형과 로컬 저장소 사용 방법에 대한 몇 가지 예를 알려주실 수 있나요? ==

물론입니다! 위키미디어 사이트에서 사용하는 쿠키(및 관련 로컬 저장 저장 기술)는 일반적으로 다음 범주에 속합니다:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;기능: 이 쿠키는 로그인과 같은 필수 기능을 포함하여 위키미디어 사이트가 작동하는 데 도움이 됩니다.&lt;/span&gt;
* 기본 설정: 이 쿠키는 사용자의 기본 설정을 저장하여 다음에 사이트를 사용할 때 기억할 수 있습니다.
* 성능 및 분석: 이 쿠키는 여러분이 우리의 웹사이트를 사용하는 방식에 대한 정보를 수집하여 저희가 웹사이트 작동 방식을 더 잘 이해하고 여러분과 다른 사용자를 위해 개선할 수 있도록 합니다.
* 제3자: 이 쿠키를 사용하면 &quot;좋아요&quot; 및 &quot;공유&quot; 버튼과 같은 제3자가 제공하는 서비스를 렌더링할 수 있습니다. 제3자가 이러한 서비스를 제공할 때 서비스 제공을 위해 쿠키 사용을 요구할 수 있습니다. (이것은 귀하의 적극적인 동의가 있는 경우에만 사용됩니다.)

자세한 내용은 [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|쿠키 설명]]을 참조하세요.

== 제 장치에서 로컬로 저장된 데이터의 사용을 제한해야 하는 몇 가지 옵션은 무엇인가요? ==

이것이 포괄적인 목록은 아니지만 다음은 장치에 로컬로 저장된 데이터의 사용을 제한하기 위해 수행할 수 있는 몇 가지 작업입니다. 다음을 수행할 수 있습니다:

* 브라우저 설정에서 로컬에 저장된 특정 데이터를 제거하거나 비활성화합니다;
* 제3자 쿠키를 차단할 수 있는 브라우저 사용; 또는
* 사용 가능한 경우 로컬에 저장된 데이터를 차단하는 플러그인을 설치합니다.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== 위키미디어 사이트 내에서 어떻게 이메일을 보내며 받는 알림을 어떻게 변경하나요? ==

다음 중 하나를 통해 수신하는 알림을 변경할 수 있습니다:

: (a) 아래와 같이 우리가 여러분에게 보내는 알림 이메일 하단에 있는 &quot;저희가 여러분에게 보내는 이메일을 제어하려면 여러분의 기본 설정을 확인하세요&quot; 뒤에 있는 링크를 클릭합니다; 또는
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (b) 계정에 로그인한 다음 화면 오른쪽 상단의 &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;를 클릭한 다음 &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;를 클릭합니다.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|&quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; 탭]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|&quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; 탭]]

다른 사용자가 사용자 페이지의 도구 상자 메뉴에서 &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot;를 클릭하여 여러분에게 직접 이메일을 보낼 수 있는 &quot;이 사용자에게 이메일 보내기&quot; 기능을 활성화할 수도 있습니다. 이 기능을 활성화하면 다른 사용자가 여러분에게 연락할 때 여러분의 이메일 주소가 공개되지 않습니다(답장을 보내면 공개됩니다). 이 기능을 활성화하면 다른 사용자가 여러분에게 이메일을 보낼 수 있으며 우리는 그들이 여러분에게 이메일을 보내는 내용 또는 빈도를 제어하지 않습니다. 이 기능을 활성화하는 방법은 다음과 같습니다.

: 계정에 로그인하고 &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;를 클릭한 다음 &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;를 클릭하고 &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot; 상자를 선택합니다.

[[File:3 ENWP User Profile.png|thumb|center|500px|&quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot; 탭]]

{{anchor|gpsexamplesFAQ}}
== 더 관련성 높은 콘텐츠를 표시하기 위해 GPS 및 기타 위치 기술을 사용하는 방법의 예를 들어 주시겠습니까? ==

물론입니다! 위키백과 모바일 애플리케이션을 사용하는 경우 &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; 버튼을 사용하여 주변 장소 및 사물에 대한 기사가 있는지 확인할 수 있습니다. 여러분 장치는 여러분의 위치 정보를 실제로 사용하기 전에 여러분의 현재 위치를 식별하고 사용하기 위해 여러분의 허가를 요청할 것입니다. 노트북, 데스크톱 또는 GPS가 없는 장치에서 이 기능에 접근하면 이 기능은 브라우저의 정보를 사용하여 위치를 파악하고 주변의 장소 및 사물(예를 들어, 공공 조각품 또는 유명 건물)에 대한 문서를 찾습니다.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== &quot;제 지리적 위치를 유추&quot;한다는 것은 무엇을 의미합니까? 그리고 왜 그렇게 해야 합니까? ==

[//www.maxmind.com/en/city 맥스마인드(MaxMind)의 GeoIP City DB]와 같은 일부 다운로드 제품을 사용하여 사용자의 대략적인 위치를 내부적으로 결정할 수 있습니다. 그리고 우리가 &quot;대략적인&quot;이라고 말할 때 우리는 그것을 의미합니다. GeoIP City DB는 여러분의 IP와 관련된 가장 정확한 지역 데이터의 중심에서 여러분의 위치를 확인합니다. 연관된 지역 데이터에 대한 유일한 가능성은 우편 번호, 도시, 지역 또는 국가입니다. 여러분이 습관적으로 여러분의 IP 주소와 관련된 가장 구체적인 지역의 지리적 중앙에 위치하지 않는 한, 저희가 검색하는 데이터는 샌드위치를 배달할 만큼 충분하지 않을 것입니다.

로컬 공지와 행사 공지, 로컬 기금 마련 캠페인과 같은 적절한 로컬 콘텐츠를 제공받을 수 있도록 하는 것입니다. 여러분의 IP 주소에 대해 기록된 정보를 보려면 언제든지 [$bitgeolookup GeoIP 조회 도구]를 로드하고 결과를 확인할 수 있습니다.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== 제가 여러분에게 제 정보를 공유할 수 있는 권한을 부여할 수 있는 몇 가지 예는 무엇입니까? ==

[//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ 위키마니아]에 가기 위해 장학금을 받는 경우 적절한 여행 준비를 할 수 있도록 해당 연도에 위키마니아를 주최하는 지역 지부와 정보를 공유할 수 있도록 허락을 요청할 수 있습니다. 또는 보조금을 신청하는 경우 보조금 신청서를 검토하는 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|기금 배분 위원회]]의 위원과 정보를 공유할 수 있도록 허가를 요청할 수 있습니다. 또는 [//openid.net/ OpenID] 또는 [//oauth.net/ OAuth]와 같은 서비스를 사용하여 위키미디어 사용자 이름과 암호를 사용하여 로그인하고 정보를 제3자 사이트에 보낼 수 있으며, 이 경우 여러분의 정보는 여러분의 명시적 허가가 있는 경우에만 제3자 사이트로 전송됩니다.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== 위키미디어 사이트 및 정책을 조사, 시행 또는 방어하기 위해 사용자 정보를 사용하거나 공유할 수 있는 방법에는 어떤 것이 있습니까? ==

우리는 모든 사람이 동일한 규칙에 따라 플레이하는지 확인하는 것이 중요하며, 이는 때때로 특정 사용자의 정보를 조사하고 공유하여 그들이 동일한지 확인해야 함을 의미합니다.

예를 들어 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|검사관]]이 악의적인 &quot;다중 계정&quot;(중복 계정) 사용, 문서 훼손, 다른 사용자에 대한 괴롭힘 또는 방해 행위와 같은 프로젝트 남용을 조사할 때 사용자 정보가 공유될 수 있습니다. 사용자가 [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|이용 약관]] 또는 기타 관련 정책을 위반한 것으로 밝혀지면 사용자의 개인 정보는 서비스 제공자, 이동통신사 또는 기타 제3자 기관에 예를 들어, IP 차단을 대상으로 하거나 관련 인터넷 서비스 제공업체에 불만을 제기하기 위해 공개될 수 있습니다.

또 다른 예로, 사용자가 폭탄 위협을 했다는 통지를 받은 경우 생명을 구하기 위해 해당 위협과 관련된 일부 정보를 지역 당국에 보고해야 할 수 있습니다.

또한 개인 정보 보호 정책에 설명된 기타 합법적인 자선 목적을 위해 개인 정보를 사용할 수 있습니다.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== 내 정보를 제3자 제공업체와 공유하는 경우에 대한 몇 가지 범주와 예를 알려주실 수 있습니까? ==

물론입니다! 위키미디어 사이트는 호스팅 제공업체, 광섬유 네트워크 제공업체, 데이터 센터, 기타 서비스 제공업체 및 계약업체에 의존합니다. 우리는 이러한 서비스 제공업체와 계약을 맺고 있으며 이 정책에 따라 당사를 위해 서비스를 수행하기 위한 목적으로만 귀하의 데이터에 액세스할 수 있습니다. 다른 경우에는 저장 또는 사용하는 정보를 관리하고, 사용자의 요청을 처리하고, 기타 운영상의 필요(예: 감사)를 처리하기 위해 제3자 제공업체를 사용할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 우리는 제3자 보조금 관리 시스템을 사용하여 보조금 신청자 정보를 보유하고 신청 프로세스를 더 간단하고 효율적으로 만들거나 직원과 사용자를 위한 이메일 및 알림 서비스를 위해 제3자 제공업체를 사용할 수 있습니다.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== 제3자 사이트로 연결되는 위키미디어 사이트의 링크를 클릭하면 어떤 정보가 표시됩니까? ==

외부 웹사이트로 연결되는 위키미디어 사이트의 링크를 클릭하면 리퍼러 정보는 방문한 특정 위키미디어 페이지가 아닌 도메인 출처만 해당 타사 대상으로 전송합니다. 예를 들어 위키백과에서 문서를 읽고 외부 사이트의 뉴스 기사로 연결되는 인용을 클릭하면 참조자 정보에는 특정 기사 URL이 아닌 위키백과 도메인만 포함됩니다. 이러한 유형의 리퍼러 정책을 [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;]이라고 합니다.

우리는 사용자 개인 정보를 보호하고 사용자가 본 페이지에 대한 민감한 정보가 노출되는 것을 방지하기 위해 이러한 방식으로 참조자 정보를 제한하는 한편, 운동 가맹단체 및 파트너가 위키미디어 운영 웹사이트에서 수신한 트래픽에 대한 집계 정보를 수집할 수 있도록 허용합니다. 더 많은 정보를 원하고 참조자 정보를 더 잘 제어하는 데 관심이 있는 사람들을 위해 위키미디어 재단 안전 팀은 몇 가지 추가 세부 정보와 권장 도구가 포함된 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|메타 페이지]]를 준비했습니다.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== 재식별의 위험은 무엇입니까? ==

몇 가지 경우(우리가 아는 한 위키미디어 사이트를 포함하지 않음!), 독립적인 연구원이 다른 출처의 비개인 정보 및 집계 정보를 특정 사용자에게 연결할 수 있었습니다. 연구 목적으로 개인 정보를 공유하기 전에 개인 정보를 비식별화하여 이를 방지하기 위해 노력하지만 이러한 위험을 인지하고 있는지 확인하고자 합니다.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== 위키미디어 재단은 사이트에서 HTTPS를 사용합니까? ==

예! 우리는 [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015년]부터 모든 위키미디어 사이트에서 HTTPS 전용 통신을 구현해 왔습니다. 또한 [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ 브라우저 HSTS 사전 로드], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP 스테이플링]] 및 [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] 서버 인증서를 포함하여 업계 최소 표준 이상으로 트래픽을 더욱 안전하게 보호하기 위해 몇 가지 관련 조치를 구현했습니다. [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|인증서 투명성]]을 위해 서명된 인증서 타임스탬프를 포함하고 [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] 및 [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]를 비롯한 동급 최고의 암호 옵션을 활성화합니다. 또한 다음 긴급 상황이 되기 전에 [[phab:T147199|오래된 암호를 사용하지 않습니다]]. 우리의 노력에 대한 최신 정보는 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS 상태 페이지]]를 참조하세요.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 제 데이터를 보관하는 기간에 대한 몇 가지 예는 무엇입니까? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
데이터 유형과 수집 방법에 따라 다릅니다. 예를 들어 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|검사관 도구]]로 접근할 수 있는 정보는 3개월 후에 삭제됩니다. 등록되지 않은 사용자의 기여와 관련된 IP 주소와 같은 기타 정보는 문서의 개정 기록에서 무기한 볼 수 있습니다. [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|데이터 보존 지침]]에서 다양한 유형의 데이터를 보관하는 기간에 대해 자세히 알아볼 수 있습니다.
&lt;/div&gt;

== 사생활 침해 혐의를 조사하는 커뮤니티 기구가 있습니까? ==

[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|옴부즈 위원회]]라고 하는 경험 많은 사용자 그룹은 이 개인정보 보호정책의 위반 및 위반 혐의를 조사하고 위반 또는 위반 혐의를 해결하는 방법에 대해 우리에게 권고할 수 있는 힘과 권한이 있습니다.

주요 [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|개인 정보 보호 정책]]은 사용자의 개인 정보를 다룹니다. 그러나 위키백과 문서에 여러분에 대한 오래되었거나 부정확한 정보가 있는 경우 문서를 업데이트하는 가장 좋은 방법은 사용자 커뮤니티의 콘텐츠 정책 및 절차를 따르는 것입니다. 문서 토론 페이지에 댓글을 달 수 있습니다(왼쪽 상단의 &quot;토론&quot;을 클릭한 다음 페이지 편집). 문서에서 작업하는 다른 편집자가 검토할 질문이나 우려 사항을 제기할 수 있습니다. 페이지에 댓글을 달지 않으려면 {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} 또는 [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|정확한 이메일 주소]]로 이메일을 보내 숙련된 위키미디어 자원 봉사자의 도움을 받을 수 있습니다. 위키미디어 프로젝트는 합의에 따라 공동으로 작성되고 추진됩니다. 이는 위키백과 문서의 정보가 여러분과 같은 전역 사용자 커뮤니티에서 작성, 업데이트 및 관리됨을 의미합니다. 위키미디어 재단은 일반적으로 커뮤니티가 프로젝트에 속한 콘텐츠를 결정해야 한다고 믿으며, 잠재적인 우려나 분쟁을 해결하기 위해 확립된 커뮤니티 절차를 사용할 것을 권장합니다.

== 추적 금지(Do Not Track, &quot;DNT&quot;) 신호란 무엇이며 위키미디어 재단은 이에 어떻게 대응하나요? ==

&quot;추적 안 함&quot;(Do Not Track) 또는 &quot;DNT&quot;는 웹 브라우저가 여러분이 방문하는 웹 사이트에 분석 서비스, 광고 네트워크 및 소셜 플랫폼과 같이 여러분이 방문하지 않은 웹사이트의 제3자에 의해 추적되는 것을 원하지 않는다는 것을 알리는 방법입니다. 이 메커니즘을 사용할 때 브라우저에서 신호를 보내어 특히 온라인 활동 및 네트워크 상호 작용에 대한 개인 정보가 제3자에게 전달되지 않아야 한다는 바람을 나타냅니다. 여러분의 브라우저에서 보낸 DNT 신호를 수신할 때 웹사이트를 소유한 개인 또는 법인은 위에서 언급한 요청을 존중하거나 무시할 수 있습니다.

위키미디어 재단은 개인정보 보호정책의 &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|여러분의 정보를 공유할 수 있는 시기]]&quot; 섹션에 자세히 설명된 특정 상황을 제외하고는 여러분으로부터 수집한 개인 정보(온라인 활동 및 위키미디어 사이트와의 네트워크 상호 작용 포함)를 제3자와 공유하지 않기 위해 최선을 다하고 있습니다.

이러한 약속 때문에 우리는 모든 사람을 보호하고 웹 브라우저의 DNT 신호에 대한 응답으로 행동을 변경하지 않습니다.

[//donottrack.us/ 우리를 추적하지 마세요]와 [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ 월드 와이드 웹 컨소시움의 추적 금지 사양]에서 &quot;추적 금지&quot; 기술 및 정책 제안에 대한 자세한 정보를 찾을 수 있습니다.

== 읽거나 기여하는 데 계정이 필요하지 않다고 생각했습니다! 어떤 상황에서 글을 읽거나 기여하기 위해 등록해야 합니까? ==

공개 위키미디어 사이트를 읽는 데 계정이 필요하지 않습니다. 그리고 대부분의 경우 위키미디어 사이트에 기여하기 위해 계정이 필요하지 않습니다. 그러나 기부를 하려면 계정을 등록해야 하는 드문 경우가 있습니다. 로컬 편집자 또는 기여자 커뮤니티(예를 들어, 영어 위키백과 커뮤니티 또는 말레이어 위키낱말사전 커뮤니티) 또는 위키미디어 재단 자체에서 변경할 수 있는 항목에 일시적 또는 영구적 제한을 둘 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 특정 페이지는 문서 훼손 또는 저작권 문제로 인해 숙련된 사용자나 관리 사용자만 허용하도록 일시적으로 편집이 제한될 수 있습니다. 또한 로그인하지 않고 이미지나 비디오와 같은 콘텐츠를 업로드할 수 없습니다. 콘텐츠를 게시하기 위해 저작권 소유자(미디어가 아직 공개 도메인에 없는 경우)로부터 적절한 권한을 얻었는지 확인해야 하기 때문입니다.

== 공개 로그를 통해 어떤 종류의 정보를 사용할 수 있는지 몇 가지 예를 들어 주시겠습니까? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
물론입니다! 공개 로그에는 계정이 생성된 시간, 페이지를 삭제한 시간 또는 다른 사용자에게 감사를 표시한 시간이 포함될 수 있습니다. 예제를 원하시면 [[special:Log|특수:로그]]에서 이 위키에 대한 일부 공개 로그를 찾아볼 수도 있습니다.

== 개인 식별을 원하지 않는 경우 위키미디어 사이트에 게시한 콘텐츠를 삭제 또는 익명화할 수 있습니까? 그렇다면 어떻게? ==

위키미디어 사이트는 공개적으로 사용 가능한 개정 기록을 사용하여 합의를 구축하고 기고자와 편집자 간의 투명성을 촉진하며 사이트 콘텐츠의 신뢰성을 확인합니다. 따라서 위키미디어 사이트에 정보를 게시하면 공개되며 제거할 수 없을 것입니다. 특정 콘텐츠(예를 들어, 위키백과 문서에서)를 직접 제거하더라도 문서의 &quot;보기 기록&quot; 섹션에서 계속 공개적으로 사용할 수 있습니다. 특정 상황에서 페이지나 파일 또는 페이지 또는 파일 기록의 일부를 공개적으로 볼 수 없도록 삭제를 요청할 수 있습니다(예를 들어, 신용 카드 번호와 같은 고위험 개인 정보를 실수로 게시한 경우). 제거 결정(즉, 전체 문서 삭제)이 항상 중앙에서 결정되는 것은 아니며 때로는 위키백과 커뮤니티 간의 공개 토론 후에 결정됩니다(추가 참조는 영어 위키백과의 [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|삭제 정책]]을 참조하세요). 이 절차는 위키미디어 사이트에 게시된 콘텐츠 또는 정보의 완전하거나 포괄적인 제거를 보장하지 않습니다.

수정 기록, 편집 기록 및 로그의 사용자 이름 또는 개별 로그 항목의 일부를 숨기기 위해 억제(기록보호)를 요청할 수도 있습니다. 억제는 특정 용도에 적용되는 위키 상의 절차입니다. 자세한 내용과 지침은 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|메타위키 억제 페이지]]를 참조하세요.

여러분이 등록된 사용자인 경우, 여러분이 위키미디어 사이트에 게시한 내용과 실명 사이에 다른 사람들이 연결되는 것을 원하지 않는다면 실명을 사용자 이름으로 사용하지 않는 것이 좋습니다. 영어 위키백과의 [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|계정명 정책]]에서 사용자 이름 선택에 대해 자세히 알아볼 수 있습니다. 이 사용자 이름 정책은 영어 위키백과에만 적용되며 위키백과마다 정책이 다릅니다. 사용하려는 프로젝트의 사용자 이름 정책을 확인하여 현지 관행을 준수하는지 확인하는 것이 좋습니다.

사용자 이름에 이미 개인 식별 정보(예를 들어, 실명)가 포함되어 있고 여러분의 기여로 개인 식별을 원하지 않는 경우 (삭제 및 억제 프로세스를 진행하는 대신 정보의 익명화를 요청하는 것이 좋습니다. 위에서 설명한) 사용자 이름 변경을 요청하여. 사용자 이름 변경 방법에 대한 정보는 [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|사용자 이름 변경에 대한 메타-위키 페이지]]를 참조하세요.

비식별화 절차는 여러분의 이전 사용자 이름과 관련하여 위키미디어 사이트에 게시된 모든 콘텐츠 또는 개인 정보의 완전하거나 포괄적인 익명화를 보장할 수 없습니다. 여러분의 요청이 승인되면 이름 변경은 여러분이 게시한 콘텐츠와 관련하여 자동으로 생성된 로그(예를 들어, 페이지 기록)에서만 발생합니다. 이름을 변경해도 제3자가 이전 사용자 이름에 대해 언급한 내용은 삭제되지 않습니다. 예를 들어 사용자 이름을 MichaelPaul에서 Owlwatcher345로 변경한 경우 기여한 콘텐츠는 Owlwatcher345에 귀속되지만 다른 사용자가 토론 페이지에서 MichaelPaul이라는 이름으로 여러분을 언급한 경우에는 Owlwatcher345 대신 MichaelPaul이 계속 표시됩니다.

여러분의 개인 정보 사용에 관한 여러분의 선택 및 이러한 선택을 행사하는 방법에 대한 자세한 내용은 우리의 [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|개인정보 보호정책]]을 참조하세요.

== Бул Купуялык саясаты эмнеси менен айырмаланат? Мурдагы нускаларын көрө аламбы? ==

Көптөгөн уюмдар сыяктуу эле, биз да жылдар бою өсүп, өзгөрүп келебиз жана бул Купуялык саясатын азыркы практикабызды гана эмес, келечектеги ийгиликтерди да жакшыраак чагылдыра тургандыгын ойлоп түздүк. Максатыбыз – бул Купуялык саясатын окууну жеңилдетүү жана маалыматтын топтолушун, аны сиз үчүн Викимедиа сайттарын жакшыраак түшүнүп, жакшыртуу үчүн колдонууну ачык-айкын кылуу.

Мурдагы Купуялык саясатыбызды окууга кызыкдар болсоңуз, архивибизди караңыз. Купуялык саясатыбыз викиде болгондуктан, нускаларды [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} барактын тарыхын] колдонуп, салыштырса болот! Негизги өзгөртүүлөр: [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;&quot;Стандарттуу аккаунт&quot; жана &quot;стандарттуу эмес аккаунт&quot; деген эмне?&lt;/span&gt; ==

Стандарттуу аккаунт – Википедия же Викиказына сыяктуу негизги Викимедиа долбоорлорун карап чыгуу же түзөтүү үчүн аккаунт. Адатта, Викимидия фондунда стандарттуу аккаунт түзүү үчүн колдонуучунун аты менен сырсөздөн бөлөк маалымат берүүнүн кажети жок; бирок, эгер сиз үчүнчү тарап башкарган тутумду колдонуп стандарттуу аккаунтту түзсөңүз, анда сиз электрондук почта дареги сыяктуу кошумча маалыматтарды берүүгө тийиш болушуңуз мүмкүн. Стандарттуу эмес аккаунт — Википедия сыяктуу негизги долбоорлордун бирине окууга же салым кошууга караганда, Викимедиа кыймылына тереңирээк катышуу үчүн аккаунт.

A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

== Cookie файлдардын түрлөрүнүн жана жергиликтүү сактагычтардын колдонулушунун айрым мисалдарын бере аласызбы? ==

Албетте! Викимедиа сайттары тарабынан колдонулган cookie файлдар (жана тиешелүү жергиликтүү сактоо технологиялары) жалпысынан төмөнкү категорияларга кирет:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;Функционалдуу: Бул cookie файлдар Викимедиа сайттарынын иштешине жардам берет, анын ичинде аккаунтка кирүү сыяктуу маанилүү өзгөчөлүктөр.&lt;/span&gt;
* Параметрдик: Бул cookie файлдар параметрлериңизди сактайт, ошондуктан кийинки жолу сайтты колдонгондо алардан ажырабайсыз.
* Ишти аткаруу жана талдоо: Бул cookie файлдар сайтты кантип колдонуп жатканыңыз жөнүндө маалыматты чогултат, ошондуктан сайттын кандайча иштегенин жакшыраак түшүнүп, сиз жана башка колдонуучулар үчүн аны жакшырта алабыз.
* Үчүнчү жактар: Бул cookie файлдар бизге үчүнчү жактар тарабынан көрсөтүлгөн кызматтарды көрсөтүүгө мүмкүндүк берет, мисалы, &quot;жаганыч&quot; жана &quot;бөлүшүү&quot; баскычтары. Үчүнчү жактар мындай кызматтарды көрсөтүү үчүн cookie колдонулушун талап кылышы мүмкүн.  (Бул сиздин макулдугуңуз менен гана колдонулат.)

== Викимедиа сайттарындагы электрондук почта аркылуу кантип кат алыша алам? ==

Көрсөтүлүүчү кабарламаларды төмөнкү ыкмалар менен өзгөртө аласыз:

: (а) Биз сизге жөнөтө турган билдирме электрондук почтасынын түбүндө &quot;Биз сизге кандай электрондук почталарды жөнөтүп жатканыбызды көзөмөлдөө үчүн параметрлериңизди текшериңиз&quot; деген шилтемеге чыкылдатуу;
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (б) Аккаунтуңузга кирип, экрандын жогорку оң бурчундагы &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; баскычын чыкылдатып, андан кийин &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; дегенди чыкылдатыңыз.

: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|The &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot; tab]]

Ошондой эле, сизде &quot;Бул колдонуучуга электрондук кат жөнөтүү&quot; функциясын иштетүү мүмкүнчүлүгү бар, бул башка колдонуучуларга сиздин колдонуучу барагыңызда &quot;Куралдар тилкесинде&quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; баскычын чыкылдатуу менен сизге түздөн-түз электрондук каттарды жөнөтүү мүмкүнчүлүгүн берет. Эгер бул функцияны иштетсеңиз, башка колдонуучулар сиз менен байланышканда сиздин электрондук почта дарегиңиз ачылбайт (бирок сиз жооп берсеңиз, ал көрсөтүлөт). Эгер сиз бул функцияны иштетсеңиз, башка бирөө сизге электрондук каттарды жөнөтө алат жана алар сизге электрондук каттарды кандай же канчалык көп жөнөтөрүн көзөмөлдөй албайбыз. Бул функцияны төмөнкүдөй иштетсеңиз болот:

: Аккаунтуңузга кириңиз, &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; дегенди чыкылдатыңыз, андан кийин &quot;$int -prefs-press&quot; дегенди басып, &quot;$ant-alloweml&quot; дегенди тандаңыз.

Албетте! Эгер Википедия мобилдик колдонмосун колдонуп жатсаңыз, &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; баскычын басып, жаныңыздагы жерлер жана нерселер жөнүндө макалалар бар же жок экенин биле аласыз.

Биз кээ бир жүктөлүп алынган өнүмдөрдү колдонобуз, мисалы, [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], бул бизге колдонуучуларыбыздын болжолдуу жайгашкан жерин өз алдынча аныктоого мүмкүндүк берет. &quot;Болжол менен&quot; дегенибизде, муну билдиребиз: шаардын GeoIP маалымат базасы жайгашкан жериңизди IP дарегиңиз менен байланышкан эң мыкты жергиликтүү маалыматтардын борборуна коёт.

IP даректерин бөгөттөө же тиешелүү интернет-провайдерине даттануу максатында.

Дагы бир мисал: эгерде бизге кимдир бирөө бомба коркунучун жасаганы жөнүндө кабар берилсе, анда өмүрдү сактап калуу үчүн жергиликтүү бийликке ошол коркунуч менен байланышкан маалыматтарды билдирүү керек болушу мүмкүн.

Биз да жеке маалыматтарды биздин Купуялык саясатында сүрөттөлгөн башка мыйзамдуу кайрымдуулук максаттары үчүн колдоно алабыз.

Биз бул кызмат көрсөтүүчүлөр менен келишим түзгөнбүз жана алар сиздин маалыматтарыңызды ушул саясатка ылайык бизге кызмат көрсөтүү үчүн гана алышат. Башка учурларда биз сактаган же колдонгон маалыматтарды башкарууга, колдонуучулардын өтүнүчтөрүн жана башка оперативдүү муктаждыктарын (мисалы, аудиттерди) чечүүгө жардам берүү үчүн үчүн үчүнчү жактын провайдерлерин колдоно алабыз. Мисалы, биз гранттык өтүнмө ээлеринин маалыматтарын сактап калуу жана биздин өтүнмө процессин жөнөкөйлөтүү жана натыйжалуу кылуу үчүн үчүн үчүнчү жактардын гранттык башкаруу системаларын колдоно алабыз же кызматкерлер жана колдонуучулар үчүн электрондук почта жана билдирүү кызматтары үчүн үчүнчү тараптын провайдерин колдоно алабыз.

Сизди тышкы сайтка жөнөткөн Викимедиа сайтындагы шилтемени басканда, кирген белгилүү бир Викимедиа барагы эмес, домениңиздин келип чыгышы гана шилтеме берүүчү маалыматты ошол үчүнчү тараптын көздөгөн жерине өткөрүп берет. Мисалы, сиз Википедиядагы макаланы окуп жатсаңыз жана сизди тышкы сайттагы жаңылык макаласына алып баруучу шилтемени чыкылдатсаңыз, шилтеме берүүчү маалымат макаланын конкреттүү URL дарегин эмес, Википедия доменин гана камтыйт.

Биз ошондой эле трафикти минималдуу тармактык стандарттардан тышкары коопсуздандыруу үчүн бир нече тиешелүү чараларды ишке ашырдык, анын ичинде: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ HSTS браузерин алдын ала жүктөө], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]] жана [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] сервер сертификаттары.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

Негизги [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Купуялык саясаты]] колдонуучуларыбыздын жеке маалыматына тиешелүү. Бирок, эгер Wikipedia макаласында сиз жөнүндө эскирген же так эмес маалымат камтылса, макаланы жаңыртуунун эң жакшы жолу коомчулуктун мазмун саясатын жана жол-жоболорун сактоо болуп саналат. Сиз макаланын талкуу бетине комментарий калтырсаңыз болот (жогорку сол бурчтагы &quot;талкуулоо&quot; баскычын чыкылдатып, андан соң баракты түзөтүү менен) макалада иштеген башка редакторлордун кароосу үчүн суроолорду же кооптонууларды көтөрө аласыз. Эгер сиз баракка комментарий бербөөнү кааласаңыз, тиешелүү тил үчүн {{email|info|wikimedia.org}} же [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|туура электрондук почта дареги]] дарегине электрондук кат жөнөтүп, тажрыйбалуу Викимедиа ыктыярчыларынан жардам ала аласыз.

Бул Википедия макалаларындагы маалымат сиз сыяктуу колдонуучулардын дүйнөлүк коомчулугу тарабынан жазылганын, жаңыртылганын жана кураторлугун билдирет. Викимедиа Фонду коомчулук жалпысынан долбоорлорго кандай мазмун таандык экенин аныкташы керек деп эсептейт жана биз потенциалдуу маселелерди же талаштарды чечүү үчүн коомчулуктун белгиленген жол-жоболорун колдонууну сунуштайбыз.

Бул механизмди колдонгондо браузерңизден сиздин жеке маалыматыңыз, айрыкча онлайн режиминдеги ишмердүүлүгүңүз жана тармак менен байланышыңыз жөнүндө маалыматтарды үчүнчү жактарга өткөрүп бербөөүңүздү каалаарыңыз билдирилген сигнал жөнөтүлөт.

== Окууга же салым кошууга аккаунт керек эмес деп ойлогом! Кайндай жагдайларда окуу же салым кошуу үчүн каттоодон өтүшүм керек? ==

Ачык Викимедиа сайтын окуу үчүн аккаунт керек эмес. Көпчүлүк учурларда, сиз Викимедиа сайтына салым кошуу үчүн аккаунтка муктаж эмессиз. Бирок, тартуу кылууну каалаган адам үчүн аккаунтту каттоо зарыл болгон учурлар аз.

Ошондой эле сиз кирбей туруп сүрөттөр же видеолор сыяктуу мазмунду жүктөп жибербесеңиз болот, анткени биз мазмундун жайгашуусу үчүн автордук укук ээсинен (эгерде маалымат каражаттары буга чейин коомдук доменде болбосо) тийиштүү уруксат алгандыгыбызды текшеришибиз керек.

== Идентификациялоону каалабасам Викимедианын кайсы бир сайтында жарыялаган мазмунду өчүрүп жана/же анонимдештирүүгө болобу? Ошондой болсо, кантип? ==

Викимедиа сайттары консенсус түзүү, салым кошуучулар менен редакторлор арасында ачык-айкындуулукту камсыз кылуу жана сайттарыбыздын мазмунунун аныктыгын тастыктоо үчүн жалпыга жеткиликтүү түзөтүү тарыхын колдонушат. Ошондуктан, сиз Викимедиа сайттарына маалымат жайгаштыргандан кийин, ал ачык болуп саналат жана сиз аны өчүрө албай каласыз. Белгилүү бир мазмунду (мисалы, Википедиядагы макаладан) өзүңүз алып салсаңыз да, ал макаланын &quot;көрүү тарыхы&quot; бөлүмүндө жалпыга ачык бойдон кала берет. Белгилүү бир шарттарда сиз баракты же файлды же барактын же файлдын тарыхынын бир бөлүгүн жалпыга ачык көрүнүштөн алып салууну талап кыла аласыз (мисалы, кокустан кредиттик картаңыздын номери сыяктуу кооптуу Жеке маалыматты жайгаштырсаңыз). Алып салуу чечимдери (б.а., бүтүндөй макаланы жок кылуу) дайыма эле борбордон кабыл алынбагандыгын жана кээде алар Уикипедия коомчулугунун коомдук талкуусунан кийин кабыл алынарын эске алыңыз (кошумча маалымат үчүн Англис Википедиясынын [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|жок кылуу саясатын]] караңыз) . Бул процедура Вткимедиа сайттарында жайгаштырылган мазмунду же маалыматты толук же ар тараптуу жок кылууну камсыз кылбайт.

Ошондой эле түзөтүүлөрдү, версиялар таржымалындагы жана журналдардагы колдонуучу аттары же айрым журналдык жазуулардын бөлүктөрүн басуу үчүн бөгөт коюуну (көзөмөлдү) сурасаңыз болот. Басуу - бул викидеги белгилүү бир колдонууга тиешелүү процесс. Көбүрөөк маалымат жана нускамаларды алуу үчүн [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki бетине]] кайрылыңыз.

Эгер сиз катталган колдонуучу болсоңуз, Викимедиа сайттарында жазгандарыңызды башкалар сиздин чыныгы атыңыз менен байланыштырышын каалабасаңыз, чыныгы атыңызды колдонуучу атыңыз катары колдонбоону сунуштайбыз. Колдонуучу атын тандоо тууралуу кененирээк Англис Аикипедиясынын [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy| саясатынан]] окуй аласыз. Сураныч, бул Колдонуучунун аты саясаты Англис Википедиясына гана тиешелүү экенин жана ар башка Википедияларда башка саясаттар бар экенин эске алыңыз. Жергиликтүү практикага ылайык дал келүү үчүн жигердүү катышып жатканыңыз долбоордун колдонуучунун аты жаатындагы эрежесин текшерүүнү сунуштайбыз.

Эгер сиз колдонуучу атыңызга жеке идентификациялык маалыматты (мисалы, чыныгы атыңызды) киргизген болсоңуз жана өз салымдарыңыз менен идентификациялангыңыз келбесе, анда маалыматты анонимизациялоону суранууну сунуштайбыз (жогоруда сүрөттөлгөн алып салуу жана бөгөт коюу процесстеринен өтүүнүн ордуна) колдонуучу атыңызды өзгөртүүнү талап кылуу менен. Колдонуучу атыңызды кантип өзгөртүү боюнча маалымат алуу үчүн [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|Колдонуучу атыңызды өзгөртүү боюнча Мета-вики барагын]] караңыз.

Деидентификациялоо процесси сиздин мурунку колдонуучу атыңыз менен байланышкан Викимедиа сайттарында жайгаштырылган бардык мазмундун же жеке маалыматтын толук же ар тараптуу анонимизациясына кепилдик бере албайт. Эгер өтүнүчүңүз канааттандырылса, атыңызды өзгөртүү сиз жарыялаган мазмунга байланыштуу автоматтык түрдө түзүлгөн журналдарда (мисалы, барак тарыхы) гана болот. Атыңызды өзгөртүү сиздин мурунку колдонуучу атыңызга үчүнчү тараптын шилтемелерин алып салбайт. Мисалы, колдонуучу атыңызды MichaelPaulдан Owlwatcher345ке өзгөртсөңүз, сиз жарыялаган мазмун Owlwatcher345ке таандык кылынат, бирок башка колдонуучу талкуу бетинде сизди МайклПол деп атаса, МайклПол Owlwatcher345тин ордуна чыга берет.

Жеке маалыматыңызды колдонууга байланыштуу тандооңуз жана ал тандоолорду кантип колдонсоңуз болору тууралуу көбүрөөк маалымат алуу үчүн [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Купуялык саясатыбызды]] караңыз.

[[File:What does the Wikimedia Foundation do – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm|frameless|400px|none]]
The [[{{foundationsite|1= }}|Wikimedia Foundation]] (&quot;WMF&quot; or &quot;We&quot;) is the nonprofit organization that hosts the Wikimedia projects and encourages the development and distribution of freely-licensed, educational content on the Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia [//www.wikimedia.org projects], such as [[{{lwp|Main Page}}|Wikipedia]], are open and collaborative [[{{lwp|Wiki}}|wiki]]-based projects that may be accessed and contributed to by anyone in the world.

=== Our Values &amp; What They Mean For Your Request ===

Freedom of speech and access to information are core Wikimedia [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Wikimedia Foundation Guiding Principles|values]]. User privacy, and sometimes [//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity anonymity],{{#tag:ref| The Supreme Court of the United States once stated: &quot;Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.&quot; McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 514 U.S. 334 (1995). To read more about the importance of anonymity, see [//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity www.eff.org/issues/anonymity].}} is necessary to give life to these values and to protect those that have trusted us with their personal information. This means:
:* We expect requesting parties, like you, to meet our requirements below (including all legal requirements) when making a request for any of our users' nonpublic information.
:* We will examine &lt;u&gt;every&lt;/u&gt; request that we receive to ensure their compliance with our requirements below and applicable law to the Wikimedia Foundation (which usually means United States (&quot;US&quot;) law, but may include other countries when jurisdiction is found based on our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination|applicable law determination]]).
:* Absent a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury), we will refuse to disclose nonpublic user information if we believe that we are not legally required to disclose the requested information.
:* When possible, we will notify our users of your request so that they have the opportunity to legally challenge it if they do not believe your request is legally valid.
=== Types of Nonpublic Information We May Have ===
[[File:User contributions- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|User contributions]]
[[File:View History- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|View History tab]]
Due to the inherent transparency of wikis, '''most information on the Wikimedia projects is public'''. For example, information relating to a particular user's edits on the Wikimedia projects{{#tag:ref| By clicking &quot;User contributions&quot; under &quot;Toolbox&quot; on a particular user's [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:User pages}}|userpage]], you can view the history of that user's edits.}} or information relating to the editing activity on a particular article or page{{#tag:ref| By clicking &quot;View history&quot;, you can view a timeline of the contributions and edits made on that particular article or page.}} is publicly available. You do not need a Wikimedia project account to view this information.

'''The Wikimedia Foundation actually collects very little nonpublic information (if any) that could be used to identify its users offline and it retains that information for a limited amount of time.''' Some of the limited nonpublic information we store is collected automatically (such as the [[{{lwp|IP address}}|IP address]] of the user's device or their [[{{lwp|Proxy server}}|proxy server]] and [[{{lwp|User agent}}|user agent]] information), while other nonpublic information is optionally provided by the user (such as an email address). Regardless, nonpublic information that includes personally identifying information about any particular user is kept for a short amount of time. You can learn more about the types of information we collect and how long we retain that information in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|Data Retention Guidelines]].

Please note that users can use the Wikimedia projects anonymously. Even if a user has registered an account with us, he or she is not required to provide personally identifying information such as a real name, email address, physical address, date of birth, or phone number. And if they have provided any of this information, the information we have may not correspond to a real person as the user may have provided fake or pseudonymous information.

=== What We Require From You ===

The Wikimedia Foundation only discloses nonpublic user information in accordance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]], and applicable law, including the [[{{lwp|Electronic Communications Privacy Act}}|Electronic Communications Privacy Act]] ([//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-119 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2522], [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-121 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701-2711], and [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-II/chapter-206 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121-3127]).

If you choose to submit a request to us, it must meet the following requirements:
:* '''Reasonableness.''' It must be reasonable for us to locate and retrieve the information you request. We do not accept requests that would be unreasonably burdensome to execute.
:* '''Specificity.''' Your request must be specific as to what particular types of information you are requesting and where it may be located. It must also at least specify the username of the party you are seeking information about -- and please note that usernames are case-sensitive. We do not accept general inquiries, requests based solely on real names{{#tag:ref| Users are not requested or required to provide a real name when they use our sites. They are only required to provide a username of their choosing and a password to create an account. If they choose not to create an account, they can still view, edit, and contribute to Wikimedia sites without an account. Therefore, it is impossible for us to search for records based on a person's real name.}}, or vague or overbroad requests. Please ensure that the requested information is not available through our [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Main page|public APIs]].
:* '''Relevance.''' Your request must specify the relevance of the information you are requesting to the investigation or case your request pertains to.
:* '''Contact Information.''' You must include your name; your mailing address; your firm or agency's name (unless you are representing only yourself); your direct phone number; your valid firm- or agency-issued email address (unless you are representing only yourself); and if you represent a law enforcement, governmental, or administrative agency, your badge or identification number.
:* '''Timeline.''' You must include a specific deadline by which we must respond to your request. With the exception of emergency requests (described below), please bear in mind that we generally need a 30 business day minimum waiting period, so that we can properly notify our users and ensure that they have a reasonable period of time to contest your request if they choose to do so.
:* '''Legal Validity &amp; Enforceability Under United States Law.''' Your request must be legally valid and enforceable under applicable law (as determined according to our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination|applicable law determination]]), not in conflict with US law, and be in one of the following forms:
:::* A court order directed to WMF, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction;
:::* A civil subpoena, which complies with [//www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_45 Rule 45] of the [//www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp Federal Rules of Civil Procedure] or the [//california-discovery-law.com/discovery_act_outline.htm California Discovery Act];
:::* A federal or US state criminal subpoena (grand jury or trial), issued by a US court of competent jurisdiction in connection with an official criminal investigation;
:::* An administrative subpoena authorized by a federal or state statute;
:::* A warrant issued under the procedures of the [//www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure] or equivalent state warrant procedures, based upon a showing of probable cause -- if you are a government or law enforcement agency and are requesting disclosure of the contents of any user communication, nonpublic user content information, or any other information where a warrant is required by law;{{#tag:ref| For the avoidance of doubt, we believe a warrant is required by the [//www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/fourth_amendment 4th Amendment] to the [//www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html United States Constitution], which prohibits unreasonable search and seizure and overrides conflicting provisions in ECPA. We believe that the ECPA needs to be updated so that equivalent protections are granted to electronic communications and documents that have already been granted to the physical documents one keeps at home or in their office. To that end, we are a member of the [//digitaldueprocess.org/ Digital Due Process Coalition] to help in that effort.}} Please note that US law does not allow the disclosure of communications content to a non-US governmental entity, unless &quot;pursuant to an order from a foreign government that is subject to an executive agreement that the Attorney General has determined and certified to Congress satisfies section 2523&quot; (see [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702]); or
:::* A request served by a US court of competent jurisdiction or enforcement agency under the procedures set forth in an applicable [[{{lwp|Mutual legal assistance treaty}}|mutual legal assistance treaty]], [[{{lwp|Letter rogatory}}|letters rogatory]], or under applicable law (as determined according to our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination|applicable law determination]]) -- if you are making a request originating outside of the US.
Absent a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury), we will refuse to disclose nonpublic user information if we believe that we are not legally required to disclose the requested information.
{{anchor|emergency-requests}}
=== Emergency Requests ===

In accordance with [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8)], if you believe there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury) to any person, and that we may have information necessary to prevent the threat from being fulfilled, you may request an emergency disclosure.

In addition to the requirements set forth above, emergency requests should also include (to the extent you are legally permitted to disclose) the following:
:* A subject line including the phrase &quot;EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE REQUEST&quot;;
:* The specific information you are requesting and how it is necessary to prevent the threat from being carried out;
:* The identity of the individual(s) or group(s) of individuals under threat;
:* The nature of emergency;
:* Why you believe it is imminent;
:* Links to specific content containing relevant information (if any);
:* Any other information you believe will aid in our evaluation of your request; and
:* A declaration, under the penalty of perjury, that to the best of your knowledge, the information you have submitted is true and accurate.
The decision to grant a request for emergency disclosure lies solely with the Wikimedia Foundation. After evaluation of your request for emergency disclosure, if we have a good faith belief that there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb, we may provide the information necessary to prevent such harm (if we have and can recover it).

If you have an emergency request, please email your request to legal{{@}}wikimedia.org and CC emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org to ensure speedy processing.
{{anchor|childsafety}}
=== Child Safety ===

We report any discovered instances we believe to be child pornography to the [//www.missingkids.com/ National Center for Missing and Exploited Children] (NCMEC), including information brought to our attention through your requests for nonpublic user information. If your request has already been reported to NCMEC or relates to a case being handled by NCMEC, please include the case or report information in your request.

=== How to Contact Us ===

You may send your request to us:

&lt;u&gt;Via Email&lt;/u&gt; -

legal{{@}}wikimedia.org

Please provide a clear and concise subject line, such as &quot;DISCLOSURE REQUEST - [CASE NAME] - DEADLINE: [DATE]&quot;.

If you are sending an emergency request (as defined above), please email legal{{@}}wikimedia.org and CC emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org to ensure speedy processing.

&lt;u&gt;Via Post&lt;/u&gt; -

The Wikimedia Foundation&lt;br /&gt;
℅ CT Corporation System&lt;br /&gt;
330 N Brand Blvd.&lt;br /&gt;
Glendale, CA 91203-2336

While we agree to accept service of requests by these methods for convenience, neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor its users waive any legal rights or defenses based on this accommodation. Please note that if you are seeking testimony from the Wikimedia Foundation or its staff, officers, contractors, or board members, you must serve such a request on our registered agent for service or process as we do not accept those kinds of requests by post or email.{{anchor|notifying-users}}
=== Notifying Our Users of Your Request ===

We believe in transparency about when requests are made for our users' nonpublic information. This means that we will notify the user(s) affected by your request of your request and that we will report the receipt and resolution of your request in our transparency report.

When we receive your request, we will notify and provide a copy of your request to the affected user(s) at least 10 calendar days before we disclose the requested information, provided that (1) we have contact information for the affected user(s); (2) disclosing your request will not create or increase a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; and (3) we are not otherwise prohibited by law or an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, such as an order issued pursuant to [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2705 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)], from doing so. If we are unable to provide information about your request to affected users because disclosing it would create a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; or we are prohibited by law, we will provide information about your request to affected users that we have contact information for within a reasonable period after the threat or legal restriction has terminated.

If you are requesting disclosure of nonpublic user information that you believe requires confidentiality, please provide a legally valid and enforceable protective, sealing, or &quot;gag&quot; order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that we must receive notice of such protective, sealing, or gag order prior to the date the Wikimedia Foundation notifies the user for confidentiality to be considered.

Upon notification to the affected user(s), the user(s) will generally be provided at least 10 calendar days before we will disclose the requested information (assuming we find your request to be otherwise valid), during which time the affected user(s) may attempt to quash or otherwise legally challenge the request. If, prior to the disclosure, we receive notice from the affected user(s) that he or she intends to challenge your request, no information will be delivered until that legal challenge is resolved.

=== Our Right to Challenge Your Request ===

We may, and reserve the right to, challenge the scope or validity of your request, on behalf of any affected user, whether or not the affected user chooses to pursue his or her own legal challenge.

=== Cost Reimbursement ===

We reserve the right to seek reasonable reimbursement costs for responding to your request.

Жогоруда көрсөтүлгөн талаптардан тышкары, өзгөчө кырдаал өтүнүчтөрүндө төмөнкүлөр да камтылышы керек (аларга мыйзам чегинде ачыкка чыгарууга уруксат берилгенде):

:* Сиз сураган конкреттүү маалымат жана коркунучтун алдын алуу үчүн кандайча зарыл экендиги;

Сиздин шашылыш кырдаалды ачыкка чыгаруу өтүнүчүңүзгө баа бергенден кийин, эгерде биз адамдын өмүрүнө же дене мүчөлөрүнө ишенимдүү жана жакын арада коркунуч бар экенине ак ниеттүү түрдө ишенсек, биз мындай зыяндын алдын алуу үчүн зарыл болгон маалыматты бере алабыз (эгерде биз аны калыбына келтире алсак).

=== Суранычыңыз тууралуу биздин колдонуучуларга кабарлоо ===

Биз колдонуучуларыбыздын жалпыга ачык эмес маалыматына болгон суроо-талаптардын ачык-айкын болушуна ишенебиз. Бул сиздин сурамыңыздан жабыр тарткан колдонуучуга сиздин өтүнүчүңүз жөнүндө кабарлай турганыбызды жана биздин ачыктык отчетубузда сурамыңыздын кабыл алынышы жана чечилиши жөнүндө билдиребиз дегенди билдирет.

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Сурамыңызды алганыбызда, биз суралган маалыматты ачыкка чыгаруудан кеминде 10 календардык күн мурун жабыр тарткан колдонуучу(ларга) эскертебиз жана өтүнүчүңүздүн көчүрмөсүн беребиз, эгерде (1) бизде жабыр тарткан колдонуучу(лар) үчүн байланыш маалыматы бар болсо; (2) Сиздин өтүнүчүңүздү ачыкка чыгаруу адамдын өмүрүнө, дене мүчөлөрүнө же башка оор кылмышка карата ишенимдүү коркунучту жаратпайт же көбөйтпөйт; жана (3) бизге мыйзам тарабынан же АКШнын компетенттүү юрисдикциядагы сотунун буйругу менен тыюу салынбаган, мисалы, [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2705 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)], мындай кылуудан. Эгерде биз сиздин өтүнүчүңүз тууралуу маалыматты жабыр тарткан колдонуучуларга бере албасак, анткени аны ачыкка чыгаруу адамдын өмүрүнө, денесине же башка оор кылмышка ишенимдүү коркунуч жаратат; же биз мыйзам тарабынан тыюу салынган болсо, биз коркунуч же мыйзамдуу чектөө токтотулгандан кийин акылга сыярлык мөөнөттүн ичинде байланыш маалыматыбыз болгон жабыр тарткан колдонуучуларга өтүнүчүңүз тууралуу маалымат беребиз.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
Эгер сиз купуялуулукту талап кылат деп эсептеген жалпыга ачык эмес колдонуучунун маалыматын ачыкка чыгарууну суранып жатсаңыз,  анда АКШнын компетенттүү сотторунан мыйзамдуу жана күчүнө киргизилүүчү коргоо, мөөрлөө же &quot;кап&quot; буйругун бериңиз. Викимедиа Фонду купуялуулукту кароо үчүн колдонуучуга кабарлаган датага чейин биз мындай коргоочу, мөөр же ооздуктоо тартиби жөнүндө билдирүүнү алышыбыз керек экенин эске алыңыз.
&lt;/div&gt;

Жабыр тарткан колдонуучуга (колдонуучуларга) билдирилгенден кийин, колдонуучу(лар) биз суралган маалыматты ачыкка чыгарардан кеминде 10 календардык күн мурун берилет (биз сиздин өтүнүчүңүздү башка жол менен жарактуу деп тапсак), ошол убакыттын ичинде жабыр тарткан колдонуучу( с) өтүнүчтү жокко чыгарууга же башка жол менен мыйзамдуу түрдө талашууга аракет кыла алат. Эгерде биз маалыматты ачыкка чыгаруудан мурун, жабыркаган колдонуучудан (катышуучулардан) сиздин өтүнүчүңүзгө каршы чыгууга ниеттенип жаткандыгы жөнүндө кабар алсак, анда бул укуктук талаш маселе чечилмейинче эч кандай маалымат берилбейт.

===Сиздин өтүнүчүңүздү талашууга укугубуз ===

Биз жабыр тарткан колдонуучу өзүнүн мыйзамдуу аракеттерин көрүүнү чечкенине карабастан, кандайдыр бир жабыр тарткан колдонуучунун атынан өтүнүчүңүздүн көлөмүн же негиздүүлүгүн талашуу укугуна ээ жана сактай алабыз.

&lt;span id=&quot;Cost_Reimbursement&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Чыгымдардын ордун толтуруу ===

Биз сиздин өтүнүчүңүзгө жооп берүү үчүн келтирилген акылга сыярлык чыгымдардын ордун толтурууну талап кылууга укуктуубуз.

Die [[{{foundationsite|1= }}|Wikimedia Foundation]] (&quot;WMF&quot; oder &quot;Wir&quot;) ist die gemeinnützige Organisation, die die Wikimedia-Projekte betreibt und die Entwicklung und Verbreitung von frei lizenzierten, pädagogischen Inhalten auf den Wikimedia-Projekten fördert.

=== Arten von nicht öffentlichen Informationen, die wir haben können ===
[[File:User contributions- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|Benutzerbeiträge]]
[[File:View History- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|Reiter zum Betrachten der Versionsgeschichte]]
Aufgrund der inhärenten Transparenz von Wikis sind '''die meisten Informationen in den Wikimedia-Projekten öffentlich'''. Informationen zu den Änderungen eines bestimmten Benutzers in den Wikimedia-Projekten{{#tag:ref| Wenn du auf der [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:User pages}}|Benutzerseite]] eines bestimmten Benutzers unter &quot;Werkzeuge&quot; auf &quot;Benutzerbeiträge&quot; klickst, kannst du den Verlauf der Änderungen dieses Benutzers betrachten}} oder Informationen zu den Bearbeitungsaktivitäten an einem bestimmten Artikel oder einer bestimmten Seite{{#tag:ref| Wenn du auf &quot;Versionsgeschichte&quot; klickst, kannst du eine Zeitleiste der Beiträge und Änderungen an diesem bestimmten Artikel oder dieser Seite betrachten}} sind öffentlich verfügbar. Du benötigst kein Konto in einem Wikimedia-Projekt, um dir diese Informationen anzusehen.

'''Die Wikimedia Foundation sammelt tatsächlich sehr wenige nicht öffentliche Informationen (wenn überhaupt), die zur Offline-Identifizierung ihrer Benutzer verwendet werden könnten, und sie speichert diese Informationen für einen begrenzten Zeitraum.''' Einige der begrenzten nicht öffentlichen Informationen, die wir speichern, werden automatisch gesammelt (wie die [[{{lwp|IP address}}|IP-Adresse]] des Geräts des Benutzers oder seine [[{{lwp|Proxy server}}|Proxyserver]]- und [[{{lwp|User agent}}|User-Agent]]-Informationen), während andere nicht öffentliche Informationen optional vom Benutzer bereitgestellt werden (wie eine E-Mail-Adresse). Unabhängig davon werden nicht öffentliche Informationen, die persönlich identifizierende Informationen über einen bestimmten Benutzer enthalten, für einen kurzen Zeitraum gespeichert. Weitere Informationen zu den Arten von Informationen, die wir sammeln, und wie lange wir diese Informationen speichern, findest du in unserer [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Datenschutzrichtlinie]] und dem [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|Leitfaden zur Datenspeicherung]].

Bitte beachte, dass Benutzer die Wikimedia-Projekte anonym nutzen können. Selbst wenn ein Benutzer ein Konto bei uns registriert hat, ist er nicht verpflichtet, personenbezogene Daten wie einen echten Namen, eine E-Mail-Adresse, eine Postanschrift, ein Geburtsdatum oder eine Telefonnummer anzugeben. Und falls er diese Informationen dennoch angegeben hat, entsprechen die Informationen, die wir haben, möglicherweise nicht einer echten Person, da der Benutzer möglicherweise falsche oder pseudonyme Informationen angegeben hat.

&lt;span id=&quot;What_We_Require_From_You&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Was wir von dir verlangen ===

Die Wikimedia Foundation gibt nicht öffentliche Benutzerinformationen nur in Übereinstimmung mit unseren [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Nutzungsbedingungen]], der [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Datenschutzrichtlinie]] und den geltenden Gesetzen weiter, einschließlich des [[{{lwp|Electronic Communications Privacy Act}}|Electronic Communications Privacy Act]] ([//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-119 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2522], [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-121 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701-2711] und [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-II/chapter-206 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121-3127]).

Wenn du dich dafür entscheidest, eine Anfrage an uns zu senden, muss diese die folgenden Anforderungen erfüllen:
:* '''Angemessenheit.''' Es muss für uns angemessen sein, die von dir angeforderten Informationen zu finden und abzurufen. Wir akzeptieren keine Anfragen, deren Ausführung einen unangemessenen Aufwand darstellen würde.
:* '''Spezifität.''' Deine Anfrage muss spezifisch sein und angeben, welche Art von Informationen du anforderst und wo diese zu finden sind. Sie muss außerdem mindestens den Benutzernamen der Person angeben, über die du Informationen suchst -- und beachte bitte, dass bei Benutzernamen zwischen Groß- und Kleinschreibung unterschieden wird. Wir akzeptieren keine allgemeinen Anfragen oder Anfragen, die ausschließlich auf echten Namen basieren{{#tag:ref| Benutzer werden nicht aufgefordert oder dazu verpflichtet, einen echten Namen anzugeben, wenn sie unsere Websites verwenden. Sie müssen lediglich einen Benutzernamen ihrer Wahl und ein Passwort angeben, um ein Konto zu erstellen. Wenn sie sich entscheiden, kein Konto zu erstellen, können sie Wikimedia-Websites auch ohne Konto ansehen, bearbeiten und Beiträge zu ihnen leisten. Daher ist es uns unmöglich, nach Datensätzen zu suchen, die auf dem echten Namen einer Person basieren.}} oder vage oder zu weit gefasst sind. Bitte stelle sicher, dass die angeforderten Informationen nicht über unsere [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Main page|öffentlichen APIs]] verfügbar sind.
:* '''Relevanz.''' Deine Anfrage muss die Relevanz der angeforderten Informationen für die Untersuchung oder den Fall angeben, auf den sich deine Anfrage bezieht.
:* '''Kontaktinformationen.''' Du musst deinen Namen, deine Postanschrift, den Namen deiner Firma oder Agentur (es sei denn, du vertrittst nur dich selbst), deine direkte Telefonnummer, deine gültige, von deiner Firma oder Agentur ausgestellte E-Mail-Adresse (es sei denn, du vertrittst nur dich selbst) und, falls du eine Strafverfolgungs-, Regierungs- oder Verwaltungsbehörde vertrittst, deine Dienstmarken- oder Identifikationsnummer angeben.
:* '''Zeitrahmen.''' Du musst eine konkrete Frist angeben, bis zu der wir auf deine Anfrage antworten müssen. Mit Ausnahme von Eilanfragen (siehe unten) beachte bitte, dass wir im Allgemeinen eine Mindestwartezeit von 30 Werktagen benötigen, damit wir unsere Benutzer ordnungsgemäß benachrichtigen und sicherstellen können, dass sie eine angemessene Frist haben, um deine Anfrage anzufechten, falls sie dies wünschen.
:* '''Rechtsgültigkeit &amp; Durchsetzbarkeit nach US-Recht.''' Dein Antrag muss nach anwendbarem Recht (wie gemäß unserer [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination|Bestimmung des anwendbaren Rechts]] festgelegt) rechtsgültig und durchsetzbar sein, nicht in Konflikt mit US-Recht stehen und eine der folgenden Formen haben:

=== Eilanfragen ===

Gemäß [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8)] kannst du eine Notfalloffenlegung beantragen, wenn du der Meinung bist, dass eine glaubwürdige und unmittelbare Bedrohung für Leib oder Leben einer Person (z. B. Tod oder schwere Körperverletzung) besteht und wir über die erforderlichen Informationen verfügen könnten, um die Erfüllung dieser Bedrohung zu verhindern.

Zusätzlich zu den oben genannten Anforderungen sollten Eilanfragen auch Folgendes enthalten (sofern du gesetzlich zur Offenlegung berechtigt bist):
:* Ein Betreff mit &quot;EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE REQUEST&quot;;

:* Die Identität der bedrohten Person(en) oder Personengruppe(n);
:* Die Art des Notfalls;
:* Warum du glaubst, dass es unmittelbar bevorsteht;
:* Links zu bestimmten Inhalten mit relevanten Informationen (sofern vorhanden);
:* Alle weiteren Informationen, von denen du glaubst, dass sie uns bei der Beurteilung deiner Anfrage helfen; und
:* Eine eidesstattliche Erklärung, dass die von dir übermittelten Informationen nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen wahrheitsgemäß und richtig sind.
Die Entscheidung, einem Antrag auf Notfalloffenlegung stattzugeben, liegt ausschließlich bei der Wikimedia Foundation. Wenn wir nach der Bewertung deines Antrags auf Notfalloffenlegung in gutem Glauben davon ausgehen, dass eine glaubwürdige und unmittelbare Bedrohung für Leib und Leben besteht, können wir die zur Verhinderung eines solchen Schadens erforderlichen Informationen bereitstellen (sofern wir diese haben und wiederherstellen können).

Wenn du eine Eilanfrage hast, sende diese bitte per E-Mail an legal{{@}}wikimedia.org und in Kopie an emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org, um eine schnelle Bearbeitung zu gewährleisten.

=== Benachrichtigung unserer Benutzer über deine Anfrage ===

Wir legen Wert auf Transparenz, wenn Anfragen zu nicht öffentlichen Informationen unserer Benutzer gestellt werden. Das bedeutet, dass wir die von deiner Anfrage betroffenen Benutzer über deine Anfrage informieren und den Eingang und die Bearbeitung deiner Anfrage in unserem Transparenzbericht vermerken.

Wenn wir deine Anfrage erhalten, benachrichtigen wir den/die betroffenen Benutzer mindestens 10 Kalendertage vor der Offenlegung der angefragten Informationen und stellen ihnen eine Kopie deiner Anfrage zur Verfügung, vorausgesetzt, dass (1) wir über Kontaktdaten des/der betroffenen Benutzer(s) verfügen; (2) die Offenlegung deiner Anfrage keine glaubhafte Bedrohung für Leib und Leben oder andere schwere Straftaten darstellt oder verstärkt; und (3) uns dies nicht anderweitig gesetzlich oder durch eine Anordnung eines zuständigen Gerichts, wie etwa eine Anordnung gemäß [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2705 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)], untersagt ist. Wenn wir nicht in der Lage sind, betroffenen Benutzern Informationen zu deiner Anfrage bereitzustellen, weil deren Offenlegung eine glaubhafte Bedrohung für Leib und Leben oder andere schwere Straftaten darstellen würde; oder es uns gesetzlich untersagt ist, stellen wir betroffenen Benutzern, deren Kontaktdaten wir haben, Informationen zu deiner Anfrage innerhalb eines angemessenen Zeitraums nach Ende der Bedrohung oder der gesetzlichen Einschränkung zur Verfügung.

Wenn du die Offenlegung nicht öffentlicher Benutzerinformationen verlangst, die deiner Meinung nach vertraulich sind, lege bitte eine rechtsgültige und durchsetzbare Schutz-, Geheimhaltungs- oder Redeverbot-Verfügung eines zuständigen Gerichts vor. Bitte beachte, dass wir eine Benachrichtigung über eine solche Schutz-, Geheimhaltungs- oder Redeverbot-Verfügung vor dem Datum erhalten müssen, an dem die Wikimedia Foundation den Benutzer benachrichtigt, damit die Vertraulichkeit gewahrt werden kann.

Der/die betroffenen Benutzer wird/werden in der Regel mindestens 10 Kalendertage vor der Offenlegung der angeforderten Informationen benachrichtigt (vorausgesetzt, wir halten deine Anfrage ansonsten für gültig). Während dieser Zeit kann/können der/die betroffene(n) Benutzer versuchen, die Anfrage abzulehnen oder anderweitig rechtlich anzufechten. Wenn wir vor der Offenlegung von dem/den betroffenen Benutzer(n) eine Benachrichtigung erhalten, dass er/sie deine Anfrage anfechten möchte(n), werden keine Informationen übermittelt, bis dieser rechtliche Einwand geklärt ist.

&lt;span id=&quot;Our_Right_to_Challenge_Your_Request&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Unser Recht, deine Anfrage anzufechten ===

Wir können den Umfang oder die Gültigkeit deiner Anfrage im Namen eines betroffenen Benutzers anfechten und behalten uns das Recht dazu vor, unabhängig davon, ob der betroffene Benutzer sich entscheidet, seine eigene Anfechtung einzureichen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Cost_Reimbursement&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Kostenerstattung ===

Wir behalten uns das Recht vor, für die Bearbeitung deiner Anfrage eine angemessene Erstattung der Kosten zu verlangen.

== यो गोपनीयता नीतिको बारेमा के फरक छ? के म पुरानो संस्करणहरू हेर्न सक्छु? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Like many organizations, we have grown and changed over the years, and we drafted this Privacy Policy in hopes that it would better reflect not only our current practices, but also where we hope to go in the future. Our goals were to make this Privacy Policy easy-to-read and transparent about the way we collect information and use it to better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites for you.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are interested in reading any of our past Privacy Policies, we keep prior versions of our Privacy Policies accessible and in archives for your review. Since we maintain our Privacy Policy on a wiki, you can use the [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}} page's history] to compare revisions! Those with major revisions are from [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008], and [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;&quot;मानक खाता&quot; र &quot;गैर-मानक खाता&quot; के हो?&lt;/span&gt; ==

एउटा मानक खाता त्यो हो जुन तपाईले विकिपिडिया वा विकिमिडिया कमन्स जस्ता मुख्य विकिमिडिया परियोजनाहरू सञ्चालन गर्न वा सम्पादन गर्न खाता खोल्न सक्नुहुन्छ। सामान्यतया तपाईले विकिमिडिया फाउन्डेसनसँग मानक खाता सिर्जना गर्न प्रयोगकर्ता नाम र पासवर्ड भन्दा बढी जानकारी प्रदान गर्न आवश्यक पर्दैन, तथापि, यदि तपाई तेस्रो पक्षद्वारा सञ्चालित प्रणाली प्रयोग गरेर मानक खाता सिर्जना गर्नुहुन्छ भने, तपाईलाई थप जानकारी प्रदान गर्न आवश्यक हुन सक्छ, जस्तै इमेल ठेगाना। गैर-मानक खाता त्यो हो जुन तपाईले विकिपिडिया जस्ता हाम्रो मुख्य परियोजनाहरू मध्ये कुनै एकमा पढ्न वा योगदान गर्न बाहेक अझ गहिरो तरिकामा विकिमिडिया आन्दोलनमा भाग लिनका लागि खाता खोल्न सक्नुहुन्छ।

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, if you register for an account on non-wiki sites such as [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], or [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|Volunteer Response Team]] or work on a special initiative like Global Education, you may be required to register for an account to participate and registration for those accounts may require additional information other than a username and password, such as an email address.
&lt;/div&gt;

== के तपाई मलाई कुकीजका प्रकारहरू र तपाईले स्थानीय भण्डारण कसरी प्रयोग गर्नुहुन्छ भन्ने केही उदाहरणहरू दिन सक्नुहुन्छ? ==

पक्कै पनि! विकिमिडिया साइटहरूले प्रयोग गर्ने कुकीहरू (र सम्बन्धित स्थानीय भण्डारण प्रविधिहरू) सामान्यतया निम्न श्रेणीहरूमा पर्दछन्:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;कार्यात्मकताः यी कुकीहरूले विकिमीडिया साइटहरूलाई काम गर्न मद्दत गर्दछ, जसमा प्रवेश जस्ता आवश्यक सुविधाहरू समावेश छन्।&lt;/span&gt;
* प्राथमिकताहरूः यी कुकीहरूले तपाईको प्राथमिकताहरू भण्डार गर्दछ, ताकि तिनीहरू अर्को पटक तपाईले साइट प्रयोग गर्दा सम्झन सकिन्छ।
* प्रदर्शन र विश्लेषण: यी कुकीहरूले तपाई हाम्रो वेबसाइट कसरी प्रयोग गर्नुहुन्छ भन्ने बारेमा जानकारी सङ्कलन गर्दछ, ताकि हामी वेबसाइटले कसरी काम गर्दछ र तपाई र अन्य प्रयोगकर्ताहरूको लागि यसलाई सुधार गर्न सक्दछौँ।
* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Third-Party: These cookies allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as &quot;like&quot; and &quot;share&quot; buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services. (These would only be used with your affirmative consent.)&lt;/span&gt;

थप जानकारीको लागि, कृपया हाम्रो [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|स्मृतिशेष कथन]] हेर्नुहोस्।

* तेस्रो-पक्ष कुकीहरू रोक्न सक्ने ब्राउजर प्रयोग गर्नुहोस् वा;

तपाईले प्राप्त गरेको सूचनाहरू परिवर्तन गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ:

You also have the option of enabling the &quot;Email this user&quot; feature, which allows other users to email you directly by clicking &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; in the Toolbox menu on your user page.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Sure! If you are using the Wikipedia mobile application, you can find out if there are articles about places and things near you by using the &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot; button. Your device will ask your permission to identify and use your current location before actually using your location information. If you access this feature on your laptop, desktop, or device without a GPS, this feature will use your information from your browser to figure out your location and find articles about places and things (like public sculptures or famous buildings) near you.
&lt;/div&gt;

== तपाई &quot;मेरो भौगोलिक अवस्थिति अनुमान&quot;मा के भन्न चाहनुहुन्छ? अनि तपाईले किन त्यसो गर्नु आवश्यक छ? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We use some downloaded products, like [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], which allows us to internally determine the approximate location of our users. And when we say &quot;approximate,&quot; we mean it: the GeoIP City DB resolves your location at the center of the most precise area data associated with your IP. The only possibilities for associated area data are postal code, city, region, or country. Unless you are habitually positioned in the geographical middle of the most specific area associated with your IP address, the data we retrieve is unlikely to be good enough to have a sandwich delivered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We do this so that you can be served with appropriate regional content such as local notices, event announcements, and local fundraising campaigns. To see what information we have on record for your IP address, you can load our [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup GeoIP lookup tool] at any time and check the result.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you receive a scholarship to go to [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania], we may ask your permission to share your information with the local chapter hosting Wikimania that year so we can make appropriate travel arrangements. Or if you apply for a grant, we may ask your permission to share your information with members of the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|Funds Dissemination Committee]] reviewing your grant application. Or you may want to use your Wikimedia username and password to log in and send information to a third-party site, using such services as [//openid.net/ OpenID] or [//oauth.net/ OAuth], in which case your information will only be sent to the third-party site with your explicit permission.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are some ways that you may use or share user information, such as to investigate, enforce, or defend the Wikimedia Sites and policies?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It is important for us to be able to make sure everyone plays by the same rules, and sometimes that means we need to investigate and share specific users' information to ensure that they are.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
For example, user information may be shared when a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] is investigating abuse on a Project, such as suspected use of malicious &quot;sockpuppets&quot; (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruptive behavior. If a user is found to be violating our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] or other relevant policy, the user's Personal Information may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity, for example, to assist in the targeting of IP blocks or to launch a complaint to the relevant Internet Service Provider.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
As another example, if we are notified that a user has made a bomb threat, we may have to report some information related to that threat to local authorities to save lives.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We also may use Personal Information for other legitimate charitable purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

== के तपाई मलाई केही श्रेणीहरू र उदाहरणहरू दिन सक्नुहुन्छ जब तपाई मेरो जानकारी तेस्रो-पक्ष प्रदायकहरूसँग साझेदारी गर्नुहुनेछ? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Of course! Wikimedia Sites rely on hosting providers, fiber-optic network providers, data centers, and other service providers and contractors. We have a contract with these service providers, and they only have access to your data to perform services for us consistent with this policy. Other times, we may use third-party providers to help us manage the information we store or use, address requests from users, and other operational needs (like audits). For example, we may use third-party grants management systems to hold grant applicant information and make our application process simpler and more efficient or we may use third-party providers for email and notification services for staff and users.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== विकिमिडिया साइटको कडी क्लिक गर्दा कुन जानकारी प्रकट हुन्छ जसले मलाई बाह्य तेस्रो पक्ष साइटमा लैजान्छ? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When you click a link on a Wikimedia site that sends you to an external website, the referrer information transmits only your domain origin, not the specific Wikimedia page visited, to that third-party destination. For example, if you are reading an article on Wikipedia and click on a citation that directs you to a news article on an external site, the referrer information contains only the Wikipedia domain, not the specific article URL. This type of referrer policy is known as [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot;].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We limit referrer information in this way to protect user privacy, and avoid revealing sensitive information about the pages viewed by users, while allowing movement affiliates and partners to collect aggregate information on traffic received from Wikimedia operated websites.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In a few instances (not involving the Wikimedia Sites as far as we know!), independent researchers have been able to link non-personal and aggregate information from different sources to particular users. While we try to avoid this by seeking to de-identify Personal Information before sharing it for research purposes, we want to make sure you are aware of this risk.

== के विकिमिडिया फाउन्डेसनले आफ्नो साइटहरूमा एचटिटिपिएस प्रयोग गर्दछ? ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes! We have been implementing HTTPS-only communications on all of the Wikimedia Sites since [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. We have also implemented several related measures to further secure our traffic beyond the industry minimum standards, including: [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [//hstspreload.org/ Browser HSTS preloading], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], and [[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]] server certificates. We embed signed certificate timestamps for [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|Certificate Transparency]], and enable best-in-class cipher options, including [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] and [//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. We also [[phab:T147199|deprecate outdated ciphers]] before they become the next emergency. For the latest on our efforts, see our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|HTTPS status page]].
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
It depends on the type of data and how it was collected. For example, information that can be accessed by the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser tool]] is deleted after three months. Other information, such as the IP addresses associated with contributions from users who did not edit from a [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#standardaccount|standard account or temporary account]] are visible in an article's revision history indefinitely. You can learn more about how long we keep different types of data in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|data retention guidelines]].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The main [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] covers the Personal Information of our users. However, if there is outdated or inaccurate information about you in a Wikipedia article, the best way to get the article updated is to follow the user community's content policies and procedures. You may comment on the article Talk page (by clicking &quot;talk&quot; at the top left and then editing the page) to raise any questions or concerns for review by other editors working on the article. If you prefer not to comment on the page, you can get help from experienced Wikimedia volunteers by emailing {{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, or the [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|correct email address]] for the relevant language. The Wikimedia Projects are collaboratively written and driven by consensus. This means that information in Wikipedia articles is written, updated, and policed by a global community of users like you. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the community should generally determine what content belongs on the projects, and we encourage use of established community procedures to resolve potential concerns or disputes.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|DNTFAQ}}

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;What are Do Not Track (&quot;DNT&quot;) signals and how does the Wikimedia Foundation respond to them?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
&quot;Do Not Track&quot; or &quot;DNT&quot; is a way for your web browser to tell the website you are visiting that you do not want to be tracked by third parties whose websites you did not visit, like analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. When using this mechanism, a signal is sent by your browser, expressing your desire that your Personal Information, particularly about your online activities and network interactions, should not be passed on to third parties. When receiving a DNT signal sent by your browser, the person or entity that owns the website has the option to either honor or ignore the above-mentioned request.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation is strongly committed to not sharing the Personal Information we collect from you (including your online activities and network interactions with Wikimedia Sites) with any third parties, except under the specific situations detailed in the &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|When May We Share Your Information]]&quot; section of our Privacy Policy.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Because of this commitment, we protect everyone, and do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's DNT signal.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can find more information about &quot;Do Not Track&quot; technology and policy proposal at [//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], and the [//www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium's Do Not Track Specification].

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You never need an account to read a public Wikimedia Site. And in most cases, you do not need an account to contribute to a Wikimedia Site. However, there are a few rare instances where you will need to register an account if you want to contribute. A local community of editors or contributors (for example, the English Wikipedia community or the Malay Wiktionary community) or the Wikimedia Foundation itself may decide to place temporary or permanent restrictions on what you can change. For example, a specific page may be temporarily restricted from editing to allow only experienced or administrative users because of vandalism or copyright concerns. You may also not upload content such as images or videos without being logged in because we need to verify that proper permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder (if the media is not already in the public domain) in order to post the content.
&lt;/div&gt;

Sure! Public logs may include when your account was created, when you deleted a page, or when you thanked another user. If you would like an example you can also browse through some of the public logs for this wiki at [[Special:Log|Special:Log]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Sites use publicly-available revision histories to build consensus, promote transparency amongst contributors and editors, and affirm the authenticity of the content of our sites. Therefore, once you post information to the Wikimedia Sites, it is public and you will likely not be able to remove it. Even if you remove certain content (say from a Wikipedia article) yourself, it will still remain publicly available in the &quot;view history&quot; section of the article. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to request removal of a page or file or a part of the history of a page or file from public visibility (for example, if you accidentally post high-risk Personal Information like your credit card number). Please note that removal decisions (i.e., the deletion of a whole article) are not always made centrally, and sometimes they come after a public discussion amongst the Wikipedia community (see English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] for further reference). This procedure does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on the Wikimedia Sites.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
You can also request suppression (oversight), in order to hide revisions, user names in edit histories and logs, or portions of individual log entries. Suppression is an on-wiki process that applies to specific uses. Please refer to the [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Meta-Wiki page on suppression]] for further information and instructions.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are a registered user, we encourage you not to use your real name as your username if you do not want others to have a connection between what you post on the Wikimedia Sites and your real name. You can learn more about choosing your username in English Wikipedia's [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that this Username Policy is only applicable to English Wikipedia, and different Wikipedias have different policies. We recommend checking the username policy on the project you intend to use to be sure you are in compliance with local practice.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have already included personally identifying information (such as your real name) in your username and do not want to be personally identified with your contributions, we encourage you to request the anonymization of the information (instead of proceeding with the removal and suppression processes described above) by requesting a change of your username. For information on how to change your username, see [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|the Meta-Wiki page on Changing Username]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The de-identification process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive anonymization of all of the content or Personal Information posted on Wikimedia Sites related to your prior username. If your request is granted, the name change will only occur in automatically generated logs (such as page histories) in association with content that you posted. The name change will not delete mentions of your prior username by third parties. For example, if you changed your username from MichaelPaul to Owlwatcher345, the content you contributed will be attributed to Owlwatcher345, but if another user has mentioned you by the name MichaelPaul in a discussion page, MichaelPaul will continue to appear rather than Owlwatcher345.

=== Nouzové žádosti ===

V souladu s [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8)]: pokud se domníváte, že existuje věrohodné a bezprostřední ohrožení života nebo zdraví (tj. smrt nebo vážná tělesná újma) jakékoli osoby a že můžeme mít informace nezbytné k tomu, abychom tomuto ohrožení zabránili, můžete požádat o nouzové prozrazení.

Navíc k požadavkům uvedeným výše by nouzové žádosti měly také zahrnovat (v rozsahu, který vám zákon umožňuje sdělit) následující:
:* Předmět obsahující frázi „EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE REQUEST“;
:* konkrétní informace, které požadujete, a jak jsou nezbytné k tomu, aby se podařilo zabránit uskutečnění hrozby;
:* identita jednotlivce (jednotlivců) nebo skupiny (skupin) jednotlivců v ohrožení;
:* povaha nouzové situace;
:* proč se domníváte, že je bezprostřední;
:* odkazy na konkrétní obsah obsahující relevantní informace (pokud existuje);
:* jakékoli další informace, o kterých se domníváte, že nám pomohou při hodnocení vaší žádosti, a
:* prohlášení pod hrozbou křivé přísahy, že podle vašeho nejlepšího vědomí jsou vámi poskytnuté informace pravdivé a přesné.
Rozhodnutí vyhovět žádosti o nouzové prozrazení je výhradně na Wikimedia Foundation. Po vyhodnocení vaší žádosti o nouzové prozrazení, pokud jsme v dobré víře přesvědčeni, že existuje věrohodné a bezprostřední ohrožení života nebo zdraví, můžeme poskytnout informace nezbytné k zabránění takové újmě (pokud je máme a dokážeme je dohledat).

Máte-li naléhavou žádost, zašlete ji e-mailem na adresu legal{{@}}wikimedia.org a v kopii na emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org, abyste zajistili rychlé zpracování.

I když souhlasíme s tím, že budeme pro pohodlí přijímat žádosti těmito metodami, ani Wikimedia Foundation ani její uživatelé se tímto nevzdávají žádných zákonných práv nebo obrany. Vezměte prosím na vědomí, že pokud požadujete od nadace Wikimedia nebo jejích zaměstnanců, představitelů, dodavatelů nebo členů správní rady svědectví, musíte takovou žádost pro vyřízení nebo zpracování doručit našemu registrovanému zástupci, protože takové žádosti nepřijímáme poštou ani e-mailem.{{anchor|notifying-users}}

=== Informování našich uživatelů o vaší žádosti ===

Věříme v transparentnost, pokud jde o žádosti o neveřejné informace našich uživatelů. To znamená, že uvědomíme uživatele, kterých se váš požadavek týká, o vaší žádosti a že přijetí a vyřešení vaší žádosti oznámíme v naší zprávě o transparentnosti.

Když obdržíme vaši žádost, uvědomíme dotčené uživatele a poskytneme jim její kopii nejméně 10 kalendářních dnů před zpřístupněním požadovaných informací, pokud (1) máme kontaktní údaje pro dotčené(ho) uživatele; (2) zveřejnění vaší žádosti nevytvoří ani nezvýší věrohodné ohrožení života, zdraví nebo jiného závažného trestného činu a (3) nezakazuje nám to jinak zákon ani příkaz soudu příslušné jurisdikce, jako je příkaz vydaný podle [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2705 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)]. Pokud nejsme schopni poskytnout informace o vaší žádosti dotčeným uživatelům, protože její zveřejnění by vytvořilo věrohodné ohrožení života, zdraví nebo jiného závažného trestného činu nebo nám to zakazuje zákon, poskytneme informace o vaší žádosti dotčeným uživatelům, na které máme kontaktní údaje, v přiměřené době po ukončení hrozby nebo právního omezení.

Pokud požadujete zpřístupnění neveřejných uživatelských informací, u kterého se domníváte, že vyžaduje důvěrnost, poskytněte prosím právně platný a vymahatelný ochranný, pečetící nebo „roubíkový“ příkaz soudu příslušné jurisdikce. Vezměte prosím na vědomí, že aby mohla být zvážena důvěrnost, musíme oznámení o takovém ochranném, pečetícím nebo roubíkovém příkazu obdržet před okamžikem, kdy nadace Wikimedia uživatele upozorní.

Po oznámení dotčenému uživateli (uživatelům) dostane uživatel (uživatelé) obecně nejméně 10 kalendářních dnů před tím, než sdělíme požadované informace (za předpokladu, že vaši žádost jinak shledáme jako platnou), během této doby se dotčený uživatel může pokusit žádost nechat zrušit nebo ji může jinak právně napadnout. Pokud před zveřejněním obdržíme oznámení od dotčeného uživatele (uživatelů), že má v úmyslu napadnout váš požadavek, nebudou poskytnuty žádné informace, dokud nebude tento právní spor vyřešen.

&lt;span id=&quot;Our_Right_to_Challenge_Your_Request&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Naše právo napadnout vaši žádost ===

Můžeme a vyhrazujeme si právo napadnout rozsah nebo platnost vaší žádosti jménem kteréhokoli dotčeného uživatele, ať už se dotčený uživatel rozhodne podat vlastní právní námitku či nikoli.

&lt;span id=&quot;Cost_Reimbursement&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== Náhrada nákladů ===

Vyhrazujeme si právo požadovat přiměřenou náhradu nákladů za odpověď na vaši žádost.

Due to the inherent transparency of wikis, '''most information on the Wikimedia projects is public'''. For example, information relating to a particular user's edits on the Wikimedia projects{{#tag:ref| By clicking &quot;User contributions&quot; under &quot;Toolbox&quot; on a particular user's [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:User pages}}|userpage]], you can view the history of that user's edits.}} or information relating to the editing activity on a particular article or page{{#tag:ref| By clicking &quot;View history&quot;, you can view a timeline of the contributions and edits made on that particular article or page.}} is publicly available. You do not need a Wikimedia project account to view this information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''The Wikimedia Foundation actually collects very little nonpublic information (if any) that could be used to identify its users offline and it retains that information for a limited amount of time.''' Some of the limited nonpublic information we store is collected automatically (such as the [[{{lwp|IP address}}|IP address]] of the user's device or their [[{{lwp|Proxy server}}|proxy server]] and [[{{lwp|User agent}}|user agent]] information), while other nonpublic information is optionally provided by the user (such as an email address). Regardless, nonpublic information that includes personally identifying information about any particular user is kept for a short amount of time. You can learn more about the types of information we collect and how long we retain that information in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|Data Retention Guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that users can use the Wikimedia projects anonymously. Even if a user has registered an account with us, he or she is not required to provide personally identifying information such as a real name, email address, physical address, date of birth, or phone number. And if they have provided any of this information, the information we have may not correspond to a real person as the user may have provided fake or pseudonymous information.

:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Relevance.''' Your request must specify the relevance of the information you are requesting to the investigation or case your request pertains to.&lt;/span&gt;

:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Legal Validity &amp; Enforceability Under United States Law.''' Your request must be legally valid and enforceable under applicable law (as determined according to our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination|applicable law determination]]), not in conflict with US law, and be in one of the following forms:&lt;/span&gt;

In accordance with [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8)], if you believe there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury) to any person, and that we may have information necessary to prevent the threat from being fulfilled, you may request an emergency disclosure.

While we agree to accept service of requests by these methods for convenience, neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor its users waive any legal rights or defenses based on this accommodation. Please note that if you are seeking testimony from the Wikimedia Foundation or its staff, officers, contractors, or board members, you must serve such a request on our registered agent for service or process as we do not accept those kinds of requests by post or email.

&lt;span id=&quot;Notifying_Our_Users_of_Your_Request&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== 将您的请求通知我们的用户 ===

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We believe in transparency about when requests are made for our users' nonpublic information. This means that we will notify the user(s) affected by your request of your request and that we will report the receipt and resolution of your request in our transparency report.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When we receive your request, we will notify and provide a copy of your request to the affected user(s) at least 10 calendar days before we disclose the requested information, provided that (1) we have contact information for the affected user(s); (2) disclosing your request will not create or increase a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; and (3) we are not otherwise prohibited by law or an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, such as an order issued pursuant to [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2705 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)], from doing so. If we are unable to provide information about your request to affected users because disclosing it would create a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; or we are prohibited by law, we will provide information about your request to affected users that we have contact information for within a reasonable period after the threat or legal restriction has terminated.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are requesting disclosure of nonpublic user information that you believe requires confidentiality, please provide a legally valid and enforceable protective, sealing, or &quot;gag&quot; order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that we must receive notice of such protective, sealing, or gag order prior to the date the Wikimedia Foundation notifies the user for confidentiality to be considered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Upon notification to the affected user(s), the user(s) will generally be provided at least 10 calendar days before we will disclose the requested information (assuming we find your request to be otherwise valid), during which time the affected user(s) may attempt to quash or otherwise legally challenge the request. If, prior to the disclosure, we receive notice from the affected user(s) that he or she intends to challenge your request, no information will be delivered until that legal challenge is resolved.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Our_Right_to_Challenge_Your_Request&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== 我们质疑您请求的权利 ===

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We may, and reserve the right to, challenge the scope or validity of your request, on behalf of any affected user, whether or not the affected user chooses to pursue his or her own legal challenge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span id=&quot;Cost_Reimbursement&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== 成本补偿 ===

我们保留为回应您的请求所产生的开支索取合理补偿的权利。

== מה שונה במדיניות הפרטיות הזו? האם אוכל לראות גרסאות ישנות יותר? ==

כמו ארגונים רבים, גדלנו והשתנינו במהלך השנים, וניסחנו את מדיניות הפרטיות הזו בתקווה שהיא תשקף טוב יותר לא רק את השיטות הנוכחיות שלנו, אלא גם את המקום שבו אנו מקווים להגיע בעתיד. המטרות שלנו היו להפוך את מדיניות הפרטיות הזו לקריאה ושקופה לגבי הדרך בה אנו אוספים מידע ומשתמשים בו כדי להבין טוב יותר ולשפר עבורכם את אתרי ויקימדיה.

אם אתם מעוניינים לקרוא כל אחד ממדיניות הפרטיות שלנו בעבר, אנו שומרים גרסאות קודמות של מדיניות הפרטיות שלנו נגישות ובארכיונים לבדיקתכם. מכיוון שאנו שומרים על מדיניות הפרטיות שלנו בדף הויקי, אתם יכולים להשתמש ב[היסטוריית דף {{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|action=history}}] כדי להשוות גרסאות! אלה עם תיקונים גדולים הם מ [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=4820}} 2003], [{{FULLURL:Privacy policy|oldid=14088}} 2006], [{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=36376}} 2008] ו-[{{FULLURL:Policy:Privacy policy|oldid=98014}} 2014].

== &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;מהו &quot;חשבון רגיל&quot; לעומת &quot;חשבון לא סטנדרטי&quot;?&lt;/span&gt; ==

חשבון רגיל הוא חשבון שאתם יכולים להירשם אליו כדי לעיין או לערוך את המיזמים העיקריים של ויקימדיה כמו ויקיפדיה או ויקישיתוף (ויקימדיה קומונס). בדרך כלל אינכם צריכים לספק יותר מאשר שם משתמש וסיסמה כדי ליצור חשבון רגיל עם קרן ויקימדיה; עם זאת, אם אתם יוצרים חשבון רגיל באמצעות מערכת המנוהלת על ידי צד שלישי, ייתכן שתידרשו לספק מידע נוסף, כגון כתובת דואר אלקטרוני. חשבון לא סטנדרטי הוא חשבון שאתם יכולים להירשם אליו כדי להשתתף בתנועת ויקימדיה בצורה מעמיקה יותר, מחוץ לקריאה או תרומה לאחד מהמיזמים העיקריים שלנו כמו ויקיפדיה.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
A [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] is one that is created automatically when you take certain actions like editing on the Wikimedia Sites and are not logged into a standard account. Subsequent edits by the same device and browser will be attributed to the same temporary account until the account expires. You cannot log into the temporary account outside of the same device and browser as these accounts do not have passwords. A temporary account lasts for a period of 90 days at maximum, unless you exit the browser session sooner. At this point the temporary account will automatically be deactivated. A new temporary account is created for subsequent edits.
&lt;/div&gt;

לדוגמה, אם אתם נרשמים לחשבון באתרים שאינם ויקי כגון [[phab:|Phabricator]], [[gerrit:#/q/status:open,n,z|Gerrit]], או [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Volunteer Response Team|צוות תגובת המתנדבים (Volunteer Response Team)]] או עובדים על יוזמה מיוחדת כמו Global Education, ייתכן שתידרשו להירשם לחשבון כדי להשתתף והרשמה לחשבונות אלה עשויה לדרוש מידע נוסף מלבד שם משתמש וסיסמה, כגון כתובת דוא&quot;ל.

== האם תוכלו לתת לי כמה דוגמאות לסוגי העוגיות וכיצד אתם משתמשים באחסון מקומי? ==

בטח! קובצי העוגיות (וטכנולוגיות אחסון מקומיות קשורות) המשמשות את אתרי ויקימדיה מתחלקים בדרך כלל לקטגוריות הבאות:

* &lt;span class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;פונקציונליות: קובצי עוגיות אלה עוזרים לאתרי ויקימדיה לעבוד, כולל תכונות חיוניות כמו כניסה.&lt;/span&gt;
* העדפות: עוגיות אלה מאחסנות את ההעדפות שלכם, כך שניתן יהיה לזכור אותן בפעם הבאה שתשתמשו באתר.
* ביצועים וניתוח: עוגיות אלה אוספות מידע על אופן השימוש באתר שלנו, כדי שנוכל להבין טוב יותר כיצד האתר פועל ולשפר אותו עבורכם ועבור משתמשים אחרים.
* צד שלישי: קובצי עוגיות אלה מאפשרים לנו לספק את השירותים הניתנים על ידי צדדים שלישיים, כגון כפתורי &quot;אהבתי&quot; ו&quot;שיתוף&quot;. כאשר צד שלישי מספק שירותים מסוג זה, הוא עשוי לדרוש שימוש בעוגייה על מנת לספק את שירותיו. (אלה ישמשו רק בהסכמתכם החיובית).

למידע נוסף, בקרו ב[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie statement|הצהרת קובצי העוגיות]] שלנו.

== מהן האפשרויות שיש לי להגביל את השימוש בנתונים המאוחסנים מקומית במכשיר שלי? ==

למרות שזו אינה רשימה מקיפה, הנה כמה מהדברים שאתם יכולים לעשות כדי להגביל את השימוש בנתונים המאוחסנים מקומית במכשיר שלכם. אתם יכולים:

* להסיר או להשבית נתונים ספציפיים המאוחסנים מקומית בהגדרות הדפדפן שלכם;
* להשתמש בדפדפן שיכול לחסום קובצי עוגיות של צד שלישי; או
* להתקין תוסף כדי לחסום נתונים המאוחסנים מקומית, אם קיים כזה.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#LimitStorageReturn|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|emailsFAQ}}
== כיצד אוכל לשלוח דוא&quot;ל בתוך אתרי ויקימדיה וכיצד אוכל לשנות את ההתראות שאקבל? ==

אתם יכולים לשנות את ההתראות שאתם מקבלים על ידי:

: (א) לחיצה על הקישור לאחר מכן &quot;כדי לשלוט באילו הודעות דוא&quot;ל אנו שולחים לכם, בדקו את ההעדפות שלכם&quot; בתחתית כל דוא&quot;ל התראה שאנו שולחים לכם כפי שמופיע להלן; או
: [[File:ENWP Welcome Email.png|thumb|center|500px]]
: (ב) היכנסו לחשבון שלכם, ולאחר מכן לחצו על &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot; בפינה השמאלית העליונה של המסך שלכם, ולאחר מכן לחצו על &quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;.
: [[File:1 ENWP Prefs.png|thumb|center|500px|לשונית ה&quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;]]
: [[File:2 ENWP Notifs.png|thumb|center|500px|לשונית ה&quot;{{int:prefs-echo}}&quot;]]

יש לכם גם אפשרות להפעיל את התכונה &quot;שליחת דוא&quot;ל למשתמש הזה&quot;, המאפשרת למשתמשים אחרים לשלוח לכם דוא&quot;ל ישירות על ידי לחיצה על &quot;{{int:emailuser}}&quot; בתפריט ארגז הכלים בדף המשתמש שלכם. אם תפעילו תכונה זו, כתובת הדואר האלקטרוני שלכם לא תיחשף כאשר משתמשים אחרים יוצרים עימכם קשר (אלא אם כן היא תהיה אם תשיבו). אם תפעילו תכונה זו, כל משתמש אחר יכול לשלוח לכם דוא&quot;ל ואיננו שולטים באיזה אופן או באיזו תדירות הם שולחים לכם דוא&quot;ל. כך תוכלו להפעיל תכונה זו:

: היכנסו לחשבון שלכם, לחצו על &quot;{{int:mypreferences}}&quot;, ולאחר מכן לחצו על &quot;{{int:prefs-personal}}&quot;, וסמנו את התיבה &quot;{{int:allowemail}}&quot;.

== האם תוכלו לתת לי דוגמה כיצד אתם משתמשים ב-GPS ובטכנולוגיות מיקום אחרות כדי להראות לי תוכן רלוונטי יותר? ==

בטח! אם אתם משתמשים באפליקציה לנייד של ויקיפדיה, תוכלו לברר אם יש מאמרים על מקומות ודברים בקרבתכם על ידי שימוש בלחצן &quot;{{int:Mobile-frontend-main-menu-nearby}}&quot;. המכשיר שלכם יבקש את רשותכם לזהות את המיקום הנוכחי שלכם ולהשתמש בו לפני השימוש בפועל בפרטי המיקום שלכם. אם אתם ניגשים לתכונה הזו במחשב הנייד, השולחני או המכשיר ללא GPS, תכונה זו תשתמש במידע שלכם מהדפדפן שלכם כדי להבין את מיקומכם ולמצוא מאמרים על מקומות ודברים (כגון פסלים ציבוריים או מבנים מפורסמים) בקרבת מקום.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#GPS|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|inferlocationFAQ}}
== למה אתם מתכוונים שאתם &quot;מסיקים את המיקום הגיאוגרפי שלי&quot;? ולמה אתם צריכים לעשות את זה? ==

אנו משתמשים בכמה מוצרים שהורדו, כמו [//www.maxmind.com/en/city MaxMind's GeoIP City DB], המאפשרים לנו לקבוע באופן פנימי את המיקום המשוער של המשתמשים שלנו. וכשאנחנו אומרים &quot;בקירוב&quot;, אנחנו מתכוונים לזה: ה-GeoIP City DB פותר את המיקום שלכם במרכז נתוני האזור המדויקים ביותר הקשורים ל-IP שלכם. האפשרויות היחידות לנתוני אזור משויכים הן למיקוד, עיר, אזור או מדינה. אלא אם כן אתם ממוקמים בדרך כלל באמצע הגיאוגרפי של האזור הספציפי ביותר המשויך לכתובת ה-IP שלכם, לא סביר שהנתונים שאנו מאחזרים יהיו טובים מספיק כדי לקבל סנדוויץ'.

אנו עושים זאת כדי שתוכלו לקבל תוכן אזורי מתאים כגון הודעות מקומיות, הודעות על אירועים ומסעות פרסום מקומיים לגיוס כספים. כדי לראות איזה מידע יש לנו על כתובת ה-IP שלכם, אתם יכולים לטעון את [//bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup כלי החיפוש GeoIP] שלנו בכל עת ולבדוק את התוצאה.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#ipinfouse|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|permissionexamplesFAQ}}
== מהן כמה דוגמאות למקרים שבהם הייתי נותן לכם רשות לשתף את המידע שלי? ==

אם תקבלו מלגה כדי ללכת אל [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ ויקימניה (Wikimania)], אנו עשויים לבקש את רשותכם לשתף את המידע שלכם עם הסניף המקומי המארח את ויקימניה באותה שנה, כדי שנוכל לבצע סידורי נסיעה מתאימים. או אם אתם מגישים בקשה למענק, אנו עשויים לבקש את רשותכם לחלוק את המידע שלכם עם חברי [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Funds Dissemination Committee|ועדת הפצת קרנות]] הבודקים את בקשתכם למענק. לחלופין, ייתכן שתרצו להשתמש בשם המשתמש והסיסמה שלכם בויקימדיה כדי להיכנס ולשלוח מידע לאתר צד שלישי, באמצעות שירותים כגון [//openid.net/ OpenID] או [//oauth.net/ OAuth], ובמקרה זה המידע שלכם יישלח לאתר הצד השלישי רק באישורכם המפורש.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-with-permission|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|investigateuseFAQ}}
== מהן כמה דרכים שבהן אתם יכולים להשתמש או לשתף מידע משתמש, כגון לחקור, לאכוף או להגן על אתרי ויקימדיה ומדיניות? ==

חשוב לנו להיות מסוגלים לוודא שכולם משחקים לפי אותם כללים, ולפעמים זה אומר שאנחנו צריכים לחקור ולשתף מידע ספציפי של משתמשים כדי לוודא שהם כן.

לדוגמה, מידע על משתמש עשוי להיות משותף כאשר [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|בודק משתמשים (בודק)]] חוקר שימוש לרעה במיזם, כגון חשד לשימוש ב&quot;בובות גרב&quot; זדוניות (חשבונות כפולים), השחתות, הטרדה של משתמשים אחרים או התנהגות משבשת. אם יימצא שמשתמש מפר את [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|תנאי השימוש]] שלנו או מדיניות רלוונטית אחרת, ייתכן שהמידע האישי של המשתמש ישוחרר לספק שירות, ספק או גורם צד שלישי אחר, למשל, כדי לסייע במיקוד לחסימות IP או כדי להגיש תלונה לספק שירותי האינטרנט הרלוונטי.

כדוגמה נוספת, אם נודע על כך שמשתמש ביצע איום על פצצה, ייתכן שנצטרך לדווח על מידע מסוים הקשור לאיום זה לרשויות המקומיות כדי להציל חיים.

אנו עשויים גם להשתמש במידע אישי למטרות צדקה לגיטימיות אחרות המתוארות במדיניות הפרטיות שלנו.
&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-protect-people|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ}}
== האם תוכלו לתת לי כמה קטגוריות ודוגמאות מתי הייתם משתפים את המידע שלי עם ספקי צד שלישי? ==

כמובן! אתרי ויקימדיה מסתמכים על ספקי אירוח, ספקי רשת סיבים אופטיים, מרכזי נתונים וספקי שירות וקבלנים אחרים. יש לנו חוזה עם ספקי שירות אלה, ולהם יש גישה רק לנתונים שלכם כדי לבצע עבורנו שירותים בהתאם למדיניות זו. במקרים אחרים, אנו עשויים להשתמש בספקי צד שלישי כדי לעזור לנו לנהל את המידע שאנו מאחסנים או משתמשים בו, לטפל בבקשות של משתמשים וצרכים תפעוליים אחרים (כגון ביקורת). לדוגמה, אנו עשויים להשתמש במערכות ניהול מענקים של צד שלישי כדי להחזיק מידע על מבקש המענק ולהפוך את תהליך הבקשה שלנו לפשוט ויעיל יותר, או שאנו עשויים להשתמש בספקי צד שלישי עבור שירותי דואר אלקטרוני והתראות לצוות ולמשתמשים.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|thirdpartyinfoFAQ}}
== איזה מידע נחשף כשאלחץ על קישור באתר ויקימדיה שלוקח אותי לאתר חיצוני של צד שלישי? ==

כאשר אתם לוחצים על קישור באתר ויקימדיה ששולח אותכם לאתר חיצוני, המידע המפנה מעביר רק את מקור הדומיין שלכם, לא את הדף הספציפי של ויקימדיה שאליו ביקרתם, אל אותו יעד של צד שלישי. לדוגמה, אם אתם קוראים מאמר בויקיפדיה ולחצתם על ציטוט שמפנה אותכם למאמר חדשותי באתר חיצוני, המידע המפנה מכיל רק את תחום ויקיפדיה, לא את כתובת האתר הספציפית של המאמר. סוג זה של מדיניות מפנה ידוע בשם [//www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#referrer-policy-origin-when-cross-origin &quot;origin-when-cross-origin&quot; או בעברית &quot;מוצא-כאשר-מקור צולב&quot;].

אנו מגבילים את המידע המפנה בדרך זו כדי להגן על פרטיות המשתמש, ולהימנע מחשיפת מידע רגיש על הדפים שנצפו על ידי המשתמשים, תוך מתן אפשרות לשותפי תנועה ושותפים לאסוף מידע מצטבר על תעבורה שהתקבלה מאתרים המופעלים על ידי ויקימדיה. למי שרוצה לדעת יותר, ואולי יהיה מעוניין בשליטה רבה יותר על מידע מפנה, צוות האבטחה של קרן ויקימדיה הכין [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTP Referral Headers|דף במטא-ויקי]] עם פרטים נוספים וכלים מומלצים.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-our-sp|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|reidentifiationFAQ}}
== מה הסיכון בזיהוי מחדש? ==

בכמה מקרים (לא מעורבים את אתרי ויקימדיה ככל הידוע לנו!), חוקרים עצמאיים הצליחו לקשר מידע לא אישי ומצטבר ממקורות שונים למשתמשים מסוימים. בעוד אנו מנסים להימנע מכך על ידי ניסיון לבטל את זיהוי המידע האישי לפני שיתוף למטרות מחקר, אנו רוצים לוודא שאתם מודעים לסיכון זה.

&lt;nowiki&gt;[&lt;/nowiki&gt;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#share-to-experiment|{{tunit|92|Back to Privacy Policy}}]]&lt;nowiki&gt;]&lt;/nowiki&gt;

{{anchor|httpsFAQ}}

== האם קרן ויקימדיה משתמשת ב-HTTPS באתריה? ==

כן! אנו מיישמים תקשורת HTTPS בלבד בכל אתרי ויקימדיה מאז [//diff.wikimedia.org/2015/06/12/securing-wikimedia-sites-with-https/ 2015]. כמו כן, יישמנו מספר אמצעים קשורים כדי לאבטח את התעבורה שלנו מעבר לתקני המינימום בתעשייה, כולל: תעודות שרתי [[{{lwp|HTTP Strict Transport Security}}|HSTS]], [טעינה מוקדמת של דפדפן HSTS], [[{{lwp|OCSP Stapling}}|OCSP Stapling]], ו-[[{{lwp|Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm}}|ECDSA]]. אנו מטמיעים חותמות זמן חתומות של אישורים עבור [[{{lwp|Certificate Transparency}}|שקיפות תעודות]], ומאפשרים את אפשרויות ההצפנה הטובות מסוגן, כולל [[{{lwp|Curve25519}}|X25519]] ו-[//tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7905 Chacha20-Poly1305]. אנו גם [[phab:T147199|מוציאים משימוש צפנים מיושנים]] לפני שהם הופכים למצב החירום הבא. לקבלת העדכונים האחרונים על המאמצים שלנו, עיינו ב[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/HTTPS|דף הסטטוס של HTTPS]].

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Does the Wikimedia Foundation use a CAPTCHA on its sites?&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Yes. A CAPTCHA system, [[mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit#FancyCaptcha|FancyCaptcha]], was first introduced to the wikis back in the 2000s. Beginning in 2025, an improved system using hCaptcha services [[diffblog:2025/09/02/better-detecting-bots-and-replacing-our-captcha/|began rolling out]] on Wikimedia Sites. The FancyCaptcha system challenged all users, whereas the new system only challenges users that are likely bots. hCaptcha also gives us “likely bot” signals for account creation and covered edits, regardless of whether the session was challenged.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
To protect our users' privacy, we have [[mw:Product Safety and Integrity/Anti-abuse signals/hCaptcha#Privacy safeguards and risks|technical measures]] in place to reduce the sensitivity of the information we send to hCaptcha. These measures include routing our user traffic through a Wikimedia-controlled proxy to ensure that users' IP addresses, sensitive headers, and cookies are not sent to hCaptcha. hCaptcha also cannot see the specific page URLs our users visit, and hCaptcha discards what data they do collect about our users within 10 days.
&lt;/div&gt;

{{anchor|datatimeexamplesFAQ}}

== מהן כמה דוגמאות לכמה זמן אתה שומרים את הנתונים שלי? ==

&lt;div class=&quot;mw-translate-fuzzy&quot;&gt;
זה תלוי בסוג הנתונים ובאופן האיסוף שלהם. לדוגמה, מידע שניתן לגשת אליו באמצעות [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|כלי בודק משתמשים]] נמחק לאחר שלושה חודשים. מידע אחר, כגון כתובות ה-IP המשויכות לתרומות ממשתמשים לא רשומים, גלוי בהיסטוריית הגרסאות של מאמר ללא הגבלת זמן. תוכלו ללמוד עוד על משך הזמן שאנו שומרים סוגים שונים של נתונים ב[[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|הנחיות לשמירת הנתונים]] שלנו.

{{anchor|investigateviolationsFAQ}}
== האם יש גוף קהילתי הממונה על חקירת הפרות פרטיות לכאורה? ==

לקבוצה של משתמשים מנוסים הנקראת [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|נציבות הנבחרים]] יש את הכוח והסמכות לחקור הפרות והפרות לכאורה של מדיניות פרטיות זו ולהמליץ ​​לנו כיצד לטפל בהפרה או הפרה לכאורה.

[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|מדיניות הפרטיות]] הראשית מכסה את המידע האישי של המשתמשים שלנו. עם זאת, אם יש מידע מיושן או לא מדויק עליכם במאמר בויקיפדיה, הדרך הטובה ביותר לעדכן את המאמר היא לעקוב אחר מדיניות התוכן והנהלים של קהילת המשתמשים. אתם יכולים להגיב בדף השיחה של המאמר (על ידי לחיצה על &quot;דיבור&quot; בפינה השמאלית העליונה ולאחר מכן עריכת הדף) כדי להעלות שאלות או דאגות לביקורת על ידי עורכים אחרים העובדים על המאמר. אם אתם מעדיפים לא להגיב על הדף, תוכלו לקבל עזרה ממתנדבי ויקימדיה מנוסים על ידי שליחת דוא&quot;ל ל{{email|info|wikimedia.org}}, או [[:m:Volunteer Response Team#Info|כתובת האימייל הנכונה]] עבור השפה הרלוונטית. מיזמי ויקימדיה נכתבים בשיתוף פעולה ומונעים על ידי קונצנזוס (הסכמה). המשמעות היא שמידע במאמרי ויקיפדיה נכתב, מעודכן ומפוקח על ידי קהילה גלובלית של משתמשים כמוכם. קרן ויקימדיה מאמינה שהקהילה צריכה לקבוע בדרך כלל איזה תוכן שייך למיזמים, ואנו מעודדים שימוש בנוהלי קהילה מבוססים כדי לפתור חששות או מחלוקות פוטנציאליות.

== מהם אותות 'אל תעקוב' (&quot;DNT&quot;) וכיצד מגיבה להם קרן ויקימדיה? ==

&quot;אל תעקוב&quot; או &quot;DNT&quot; (באנגלית - &quot;Do Not Track&quot;) היא דרך לדפדפן האינטרנט שלכם להגיד לאתר שאתם מבקרים בו שאתם לא רוצים שיעקוב אחר צדדים שלישיים באתרים שלא ביקרתם בהם, כמו שירותי ניתוח, רשתות פרסום ופלטפורמות חברתיות. בעת שימוש במנגנון זה, אות נשלח על ידי הדפדפן שלכם, המביע את רצונכם שהמידע האישי שלכם, במיוחד לגבי הפעילויות המקוונות שלכם ואינטראקציות ברשת, לא יועברו לצדדים שלישיים. בעת קבלת אות DNT שנשלח על ידי הדפדפן שלכם, לאדם או לישות שבבעלותם האתר יש אפשרות לכבד או להתעלם מהבקשה הנ&quot;ל.

קרן ויקימדיה מחויבת מאוד לא לשתף את המידע האישי שאנו אוספים ממכם (כולל הפעילויות המקוונות שלכם ואינטראקציות ברשת עם אתרי ויקימדיה) עם כל צד שלישי, למעט במצבים הספציפיים המפורטים בסעיף &quot;[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy#sharing|מתי נוכל לשתף את המידע שלכם]]&quot; במדיניות הפרטיות שלנו.

בגלל מחויבות זו, אנו מגנים על כולם, ולא משנים את ההתנהגות שלנו בתגובה לאות DNT של דפדפן אינטרנט.

תוכלו למצוא מידע נוסף על הטכנולוגיה והצעת המדיניות של &quot;אל תעקוב&quot; ב-[//donottrack.us/ Do Not Track Us], וב-[מפרט Do Not Tracking של //www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ World Wide Web Consortium].

== חשבתי שלעולם לא צריך חשבון כדי לקרוא או לתרום! באילו נסיבות אצטרך להירשם כדי לקרוא או לתרום? ==

אתם אף פעם לא צריכים חשבון כדי לקרוא אתר ויקימדיה ציבורי. וברוב המקרים, אינכם זקוקים לחשבון כדי לתרום לאתר ויקימדיה. עם זאת, ישנם כמה מקרים נדירים שבהם תצטרכו לרשום חשבון אם תרצו לתרום. קהילה מקומית של עורכים או תורמים (לדוגמה, קהילת ויקיפדיה באנגלית או קהילת ויקימילון המלאית) או קרן ויקימדיה עצמה עשויה להחליט להטיל הגבלות זמניות או קבועות על מה שאתם יכולים לשנות. לדוגמה, דף מסוים עשוי להיות מוגבל באופן זמני לעריכה כדי לאפשר רק משתמשים מנוסים או מנהליים בגלל השחתות או חששות לזכויות יוצרים. כמו כן, אינכם רשאים להעלות תוכן כגון תמונות או סרטונים מבלי להיות מחוברים מכיוון שעלינו לוודא כי התקבלו הרשאות מתאימות מבעל זכויות היוצרים (אם המדיה אינה כבר ברשות הציבור) על מנת לפרסם את התוכן.

== האם אתם יכולים לתת לי כמה דוגמאות איזה סוג מידע זמין דרך יומנים ציבוריים? ==

בטח! יומנים ציבוריים עשויים לכלול מתי החשבון שלכם נוצר, מתי מחקתם דף או מתי הודיתם למשתמש אחר. אם תרצו דוגמה, תוכלו גם לעיין בחלק מהיומנים הציבוריים של דף ויקי זה ב-[[Special:Log|Special:Log]].

== האם אוכל למחוק ו/או לעשות כל תוכן שאני מפרסם באתר ויקימדיה כלשהו אנונימי, ​​אם אני לא רוצה להיות מזוהה אישית? אם כן, איך? ==

אתרי ויקימדיה משתמשים בהיסטוריית גרסאות הזמינות לציבור כדי לבנות קונצנזוס (הסכמה), לקדם שקיפות בקרב תורמים ועורכים, ולאשר את האותנטיות של תוכן האתרים שלנו. לכן, ברגע שאתם מפרסמים מידע לאתרי ויקימדיה, הוא פומבי וסביר להניח שלא תוכלו להסיר אותו. גם אם תסירו תוכן מסוים (נניח ממאמר בויקיפדיה) בעצמכם, הוא עדיין יישאר זמין לציבור בחלק &quot;הצגת היסטוריה&quot; של המאמר. בנסיבות מסוימות, ייתכן שתוכלו לבקש הסרה של דף או קובץ או חלק מההיסטוריה של דף או קובץ מהחשיפה הציבורית (לדוגמה, אם אתם מפרסמים בטעות מידע אישי בסיכון גבוה כמו מספר כרטיס האשראי שלכם). שימו לב שהחלטות הסרה (כלומר, מחיקת מאמר שלם) לא תמיד מתקבלות באופן מרכזי, ולפעמים הן מגיעות לאחר דיון פומבי בקרב קהילת ויקיפדיה (ראו את [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion policy|מדיניות המחיקה]] של ויקיפדיה באנגלית לעיון נוסף). הליך זה אינו מבטיח הסרה מלאה או מקיפה של התוכן או המידע המתפרסם באתרי ויקימדיה.

אתה יכולho גם לבקש דיכוי (פיקוח), על מנת להסתיר גרסאות, שמות משתמשים בהיסטוריית עריכה וביומנים, או חלקים של ערכי יומן בודדים. דיכוי הוא תהליך באתר ויקי החל על שימושים ספציפיים. אנא עיינו בדף [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|מטא-ויקי בנושא דיכוי]] למידע נוסף והנחיות.

אם אתם משתמש רשום, אנו ממליצים לכם לא להשתמש בשמכם האמיתי כשם המשתמש שלכם אם אינכם רוצים שלאחרים יהיה קשר בין מה שאתם מפרסם באתרי ויקימדיה לבין שמכם האמיתי. תוכלו ללמוד עוד על בחירת שם המשתמש שלכם ב[[:w:en:Wikipedia:Username policy|מדיניות שם המשתמש]] של ויקיפדיה האנגלית. שימו לב שמדיניות שמות משתמש זו חלה רק על ויקיפדיה האנגלית, ולויקיפדיות שונות יש מדיניות שונה. אנו ממליצים לבדוק את מדיניות שמות המשתמש במיזם שבו אתם מתכוונים להשתמש כדי לוודא שאתם עומדים בדרישות המקומיות.

אם כבר כללתם מידע מזהה אישי (כגון שמכם האמיתי) בשם המשתמש שלכם ואינכם רוצים להיות מזוהים אישית עם התרומות שלכם, אנו ממליצים לכם לבקש אנונימיזציה של המידע (במקום להמשיך בתהליכי ההסרה וההדחה המתוארים לעיל) על ידי בקשת שינוי של שם המשתמש שלכם. למידע על איך לשנות את שם המשתמש שלכם, ראו [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Changing username|דף מטא-ויקי על שינוי שם המשתמש]].

תהליך ביטול הזיהוי אינו יכול להבטיח אנונימיזציה מלאה או מקיפה של כל התוכן או המידע האישי שפורסמו באתרי ויקימדיה הקשורים לשם המשתמש הקודם שלכם. אם בקשתכם תאושר, שינוי השם יתרחש רק ביומנים שנוצרו אוטומטית (כגון היסטוריית דפים) בשילוב עם תוכן שפרסמתם. שינוי השם לא ימחק אזכורים של שם המשתמש הקודם שלכם על ידי צדדים שלישיים. לדוגמה, אם שיניתם את שם המשתמש שלכם מ-MichaelPaul ל- Owlwatcher345, התוכן שתרמתם ייוחס ל- Owlwatcher345, אך אם משתמש אחר הזכיר אותכם בשם MichaelPaul בדף דיונים, MichaelPaul ימשיך להופיע ולא Owlwatcher345.

אנא עיינו ב[[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|מדיניות הפרטיות]] שלנו למידע נוסף על הבחירות שלכם ביחס לשימוש שלנו במידע האישי שלכם וכיצד תוכלו לממש את הבחירות הללו.

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
These guidelines are intended for parties (such as law enforcement, government agencies or administrative bodies, or civil litigants) who wish to request disclosure of nonpublic information regarding Wikimedia users or their content or activities on the Wikimedia projects. These guidelines are also made available for Wikimedia users who are curious about our internal policies and procedures for dealing with requests for nonpublic user information.

=== About the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedia Projects ===

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The [[{{foundationsite|1= }}|Wikimedia Foundation]] (&quot;WMF&quot; or &quot;We&quot;) is the nonprofit organization that hosts the Wikimedia projects and encourages the development and distribution of freely-licensed, educational content on the Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia [//www.wikimedia.org projects], such as [[{{lwp|Main Page}}|Wikipedia]], are open and collaborative [[{{lwp|Wiki}}|wiki]]-based projects that may be accessed and contributed to by anyone in the world.

=== Our Values &amp; What They Mean For Your Request ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Freedom of speech and access to information are core Wikimedia [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Wikimedia Foundation Guiding Principles|values]]. User privacy, and sometimes [//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity anonymity],{{#tag:ref| The Supreme Court of the United States once stated: &quot;Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.&quot; McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 514 U.S. 334 (1995). To read more about the importance of anonymity, see [//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity www.eff.org/issues/anonymity].}} is necessary to give life to these values and to protect those that have trusted us with their personal information. This means:
&lt;/div&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We expect requesting parties, like you, to meet our requirements below (including all legal requirements) when making a request for any of our users' nonpublic information.&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We will examine &lt;u&gt;every&lt;/u&gt; request that we receive to ensure their compliance with our requirements below and applicable law to the Wikimedia Foundation (which usually means United States (&quot;US&quot;) law, but may include other countries when jurisdiction is found based on our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination|applicable law determination]]).&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Absent a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury), we will refuse to disclose nonpublic user information if we believe that we are not legally required to disclose the requested information.&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When possible, we will notify our users of your request so that they have the opportunity to legally challenge it if they do not believe your request is legally valid.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Types of Nonpublic Information We May Have ===
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:User contributions- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;User contributions&lt;/span&gt;]]

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Due to the inherent transparency of wikis, '''most information on the Wikimedia projects is public'''. For example, information relating to a particular user's edits on the Wikimedia projects{{#tag:ref| By clicking &quot;User contributions&quot; under &quot;Toolbox&quot; on a particular user's [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:User pages}}|userpage]], you can view the history of that user's edits.}} or information relating to the editing activity on a particular article or page{{#tag:ref| By clicking &quot;View history&quot;, you can view a timeline of the contributions and edits made on that particular article or page.}} is publicly available. You do not need a Wikimedia project account to view this information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''The Wikimedia Foundation actually collects very little nonpublic information (if any) that could be used to identify its users offline and it retains that information for a limited amount of time.''' Some of the limited nonpublic information we store is collected automatically (such as the [[{{lwp|IP address}}|IP address]] of the user's device or their [[{{lwp|Proxy server}}|proxy server]] and [[{{lwp|User agent}}|user agent]] information), while other nonpublic information is optionally provided by the user (such as an email address). Regardless, nonpublic information that includes personally identifying information about any particular user is kept for a short amount of time. You can learn more about the types of information we collect and how long we retain that information in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|Data Retention Guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that users can use the Wikimedia projects anonymously. Even if a user has registered an account with us, he or she is not required to provide personally identifying information such as a real name, email address, physical address, date of birth, or phone number. And if they have provided any of this information, the information we have may not correspond to a real person as the user may have provided fake or pseudonymous information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== What We Require From You ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation only discloses nonpublic user information in accordance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]], and applicable law, including the [[{{lwp|Electronic Communications Privacy Act}}|Electronic Communications Privacy Act]] ([//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-119 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2522], [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-121 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701-2711], and [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-II/chapter-206 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121-3127]).

&lt;/div&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Reasonableness.''' It must be reasonable for us to locate and retrieve the information you request. We do not accept requests that would be unreasonably burdensome to execute.&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Specificity.''' Your request must be specific as to what particular types of information you are requesting and where it may be located. It must also at least specify the username of the party you are seeking information about -- and please note that usernames are case-sensitive. We do not accept general inquiries, requests based solely on real names{{#tag:ref| Users are not requested or required to provide a real name when they use our sites. They are only required to provide a username of their choosing and a password to create an account.

Therefore, it is impossible for us to search for records based on a person's real name.}}, or vague or overbroad requests. Please ensure that the requested information is not available through our [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/API:Main page|public APIs]].&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Relevance.''' Your request must specify the relevance of the information you are requesting to the investigation or case your request pertains to.&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Contact Information.''' You must include your name; your mailing address; your firm or agency's name (unless you are representing only yourself); your direct phone number; your valid firm- or agency-issued email address (unless you are representing only yourself); and if you represent a law enforcement, governmental, or administrative agency, your badge or identification number.&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Timeline.''' You must include a specific deadline by which we must respond to your request. With the exception of emergency requests (described below), please bear in mind that we generally need a 30 business day minimum waiting period, so that we can properly notify our users and ensure that they have a reasonable period of time to contest your request if they choose to do so.&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Legal Validity &amp; Enforceability Under United States Law.''' Your request must be legally valid and enforceable under applicable law (as determined according to our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination|applicable law determination]]), not in conflict with US law, and be in one of the following forms:&lt;/span&gt;
:::* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;A court order directed to WMF, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction;&lt;/span&gt;

=== Emergency Requests ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In accordance with [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8)], if you believe there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury) to any person, and that we may have information necessary to prevent the threat from being fulfilled, you may request an emergency disclosure.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition to the requirements set forth above, emergency requests should also include (to the extent you are legally permitted to disclose) the following:
&lt;/div&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;A subject line including the phrase &quot;EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE REQUEST&quot;;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The specific information you are requesting and how it is necessary to prevent the threat from being carried out;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The identity of the individual(s) or group(s) of individuals under threat;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The nature of emergency;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Why you believe it is imminent;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Links to specific content containing relevant information (if any);&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Any other information you believe will aid in our evaluation of your request; and&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;A declaration, under the penalty of perjury, that to the best of your knowledge, the information you have submitted is true and accurate.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The decision to grant a request for emergency disclosure lies solely with the Wikimedia Foundation. After evaluation of your request for emergency disclosure, if we have a good faith belief that there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb, we may provide the information necessary to prevent such harm (if we have and can recover it).

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Notifying Our Users of Your Request ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We believe in transparency about when requests are made for our users' nonpublic information. This means that we will notify the user(s) affected by your request of your request and that we will report the receipt and resolution of your request in our transparency report.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When we receive your request, we will notify and provide a copy of your request to the affected user(s) at least 10 calendar days before we disclose the requested information, provided that (1) we have contact information for the affected user(s); (2) disclosing your request will not create or increase a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; and (3) we are not otherwise prohibited by law or an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, such as an order issued pursuant to [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2705 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)], from doing so. If we are unable to provide information about your request to affected users because disclosing it would create a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; or we are prohibited by law, we will provide information about your request to affected users that we have contact information for within a reasonable period after the threat or legal restriction has terminated.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Upon notification to the affected user(s), the user(s) will generally be provided at least 10 calendar days before we will disclose the requested information (assuming we find your request to be otherwise valid), during which time the affected user(s) may attempt to quash or otherwise legally challenge the request. If, prior to the disclosure, we receive notice from the affected user(s) that he or she intends to challenge your request, no information will be delivered until that legal challenge is resolved.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Our Right to Challenge Your Request ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We may, and reserve the right to, challenge the scope or validity of your request, on behalf of any affected user, whether or not the affected user chooses to pursue his or her own legal challenge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Cost Reimbursement ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to seek reasonable reimbursement costs for responding to your request.

يتم استضافة هذا الموقع وغيرها من [[foundationsite:our-work/wikimedia-projects/|مشاريع ويكيميديا]] بواسطة [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation|مؤسسة ويكيميديا، إنك.]]، وهي منظمة خيرية غير ربحية أمريكية مصنفة ضمن 501(c)(3) ومكرسة لتشجيع نمو وتطوير وتوزيع المحتوى الحر متعدد اللغات، ولتوفير المحتوى الكامل لهذه المشاريع القائمة على الويكي للجمهور مجانًا. تم تسجيل مؤسسة ويكيميديا في ولاية فلوريدا برمز الكيان N03000005323، ويقع مقرها الرئيسي في سان فرانسيسكو، كاليفورنيا.

&lt;span id=&quot;Legal_matters&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== مسائل قانونية ==

هل تحتاج إلى التواصل مع القسم القانوني في مؤسسة ويكيميديا (بما في ذلك للإبلاغ عن أمر تعتقد أنه غير قانوني)؟ الإرشادات التالية مخصصة لك.

&lt;span id=&quot;Important_notes&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
=== ملاحظات مهمة ===

&lt;span id=&quot;Understanding_the_role_of_the_Wikimedia_Foundation&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== فهم دور مؤسسة ويكيميديا ====

'''تقوم مؤسسة ويكيميديا''' بتشغيل الخوادم وتقديم الدعم التقني لمواقع مثل ويكيبيديا وغيرها من مشاريع ويكيميديا. ومع ذلك، '''من المهم فهم أن المؤسسة، بشكل عام''':

* '''لا تقوم بإنشاء أو تحرير أو إدارة المحتوى''' على هذه المواقع.
* '''لا تتحكم أو تشرف بشكل مباشر''' على تصرفات مستخدمي الموقع (بما في ذلك مجموعات المستخدمين مثل &quot;[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Administrator|الإداريين]]&quot;).
* '''لا تضع أو تفرض السياسات التحريرية''' للمشاريع.

جميع هذه الأنشطة يقوم بها '''مجتمع المستخدمين''' — أي عامة الناس الذين يساهمون في مشاريع ويكيميديا ويحافظون عليها.

لا تتحمل مؤسسة ويكيميديا '''مسؤولية''' تصرفات هؤلاء الأعضاء من المجتمع. وفي حالات نادرة، عندما يتصرف شخص ما رسميًا نيابةً عن المؤسسة على المواقع التي نستضيفها، سيتم توضيح ذلك بشكل صريح. وغالبًا ما يتضمن اسم حسابه &quot;-WMF&quot; أو &quot;(WMF)&quot; أو &quot;WMFOffice&quot;.
----
&lt;span id=&quot;How_to_resolve_concerns_about_content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== كيفية معالجة المخاوف المتعلقة بالمحتوى ====

يمكن حل معظم المشكلات مباشرةً مع مجتمع المستخدمين.

على سبيل المثال، في ويكيبيديا، يمكن للمجتمع أن يقرر إعادة كتابة المقالات إذا لم تكن &quot;محايدة&quot; أو &quot;موسوعية&quot; بشكل كافٍ، في حين أن مؤسسة ويكيميديا تقوم عادةً بإزالة المحتوى فقط لأسباب قانونية صارمة.

لذلك يمكن لمجتمع المستخدمين أن يقدم لك مساعدة أكبر بكثير مما يمكن أن تقدمه مؤسسة ويكيميديا. '''لذا يُنصح بشدة بمناقشة أي مخاوف أولاً مع المجتمع'''. ستجد الإرشادات أدناه.

لا تحتاج عادةً إلى محامٍ للتواصل مع المجتمع أو مع مؤسسة ويكيميديا.
----
&lt;span id=&quot;How_to_contact_the_community&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== كيفية التواصل مع المجتمع ====

يمكنك مشاركة مخاوفك من خلال نشر رسالة على صفحات النقاش الخاصة بالمشروع ذي الصلة. عادةً لا تحتاج إلى إنشاء حساب لنشر الرسائل على تلك الصفحات — فقط انقر على رابط &quot;تحرير&quot; أو &quot;إضافة موضوع&quot; في الصفحة المعنية. لدى بعض المشاريع وظائف إضافية خاصة للمساعدة في حل شكاوى المحتوى. على سبيل المثال:

* على ويكيميديا كومنز، يمكنك [[c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Deletion requests|النقر على &quot;ترشيح للحذف&quot;]] بجانب صورة أو ملف آخر.
* في ويكيبيديا باللغة الإنجليزية، يمكنك استخدام [[w:en:Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard|معالج طلبات التعديل]] لطلب إجراء تغييرات على المقالات.

إذا لم تكن متأكدًا من كيفية أو مكان القيام بذلك، أو إذا كنت تفضل مناقشة مشكلتك عبر البريد الإلكتروني، فيمكنك التواصل مع '''فريق الاستجابة التطوعي (VRT)''' عبر '''[mailto:info@wikimedia.org info@wikimedia.org]'''. كما توجد عناوين بريد إلكتروني خاصة بـ VRT لبعض اللغات ومشاريع ويكيميديا — ويمكنك العثور عليها [[m:Special:MyLanguage/VRT|مدرجة هنا]]. '''ملاحظة:''' هذا يتواصل مع أعضاء من مجتمع المستخدمين. التواصل مع VRT '''ليس''' وسيلة للتواصل مع مؤسسة ويكيميديا. وعلى الأرجح لن تكون مؤسسة ويكيميديا على علم بأي رسالة بريد إلكتروني تُرسل إلى عناوين VRT.

عند التواصل مع مجتمع المستخدمين، كن صبورًا ومحترمًا ومتعاونًا. فالمستخدمون جزء من عامة الناس، ولن يتسامحوا مع المضايقات أو التهديدات القانونية.

&lt;span id=&quot;How_to_contact_the_Wikimedia_Foundation&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== كيفية التواصل مع مؤسسة ويكيميديا ====

إذا حاولت بالفعل حل مشكلتك من خلال المجتمع وما زلت بحاجة إلى مساعدة رسمية، يمكنك التواصل مباشرةً مع مؤسسة ويكيميديا.

يجب إرسال رسائل البريد الإلكتروني إلى {{email|legal|wikimedia.org}}.

يمكن العثور على عنوان المكتب المسجل لمؤسسة ويكيميديا [[foundationsite:about/contact/|هنا]]. ومع ذلك، يُرجى التأكد من إرسال المراسلات القانونية الورقية فقط إلى: '''مؤسسة ويكيميديا عبر CT Corporation System، 330 نورث براند بوليفارد، غلينديل، كاليفورنيا 91203-2336، الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية'''

يُفضَّل استخدام البريد الإلكتروني. يرجى إرسال المستندات الإلكترونية بصيغة قابلة للقراءة آليًا.

&lt;span id=&quot;About_local_&amp;quot;Wikimedia&amp;quot;_groups&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
==== حول مجموعات &quot;ويكيميديا&quot; المحلية ====

في بعض أنحاء العالم، يدير داعمو مشاريع ويكيميديا [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia movement affiliates|فروعًا أو مجموعات مستخدمين أو &quot;جهات تابعة للحركة&quot;]] المحلية. هذه كيانات مستقلة عن مؤسسة ويكيميديا. وهي لا تمثل مؤسسة ويكيميديا، ولا تتحمل مسؤولية تشغيل مشاريع ويكيميديا. يرجى إرسال المراسلات القانونية أو الرسمية إلى هذه المجموعات المحلية فقط إذا كانت مشكلتك تتعلق '''بأنشطتها الخاصة'''. ولا ينبغي التواصل معها بشكل رسمي بخصوص المشكلات المتعلقة بمشاريع ويكيميديا.

&lt;span id=&quot;Safety&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
== السلامة ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Our Values &amp; What They Mean For Your Request ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Freedom of speech and access to information are core Wikimedia [[Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Wikimedia Foundation Guiding Principles|values]]. User privacy, and sometimes [//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity anonymity],{{#tag:ref| The Supreme Court of the United States once stated: &quot;Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.&quot; McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 514 U.S. 334 (1995). To read more about the importance of anonymity, see [//www.eff.org/issues/anonymity www.eff.org/issues/anonymity].}} is necessary to give life to these values and to protect those that have trusted us with their personal information. This means:
&lt;/div&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We expect requesting parties, like you, to meet our requirements below (including all legal requirements) when making a request for any of our users' nonpublic information.&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;We will examine &lt;u&gt;every&lt;/u&gt; request that we receive to ensure their compliance with our requirements below and applicable law to the Wikimedia Foundation (which usually means United States (&quot;US&quot;) law, but may include other countries when jurisdiction is found based on our [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Legal/Legal_Policies#Applicable_Law_Determination|applicable law determination]]).&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Absent a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury), we will refuse to disclose nonpublic user information if we believe that we are not legally required to disclose the requested information.&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;When possible, we will notify our users of your request so that they have the opportunity to legally challenge it if they do not believe your request is legally valid.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Types of Nonpublic Information We May Have ===
&lt;/div&gt;
[[File:User contributions- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;User contributions&lt;/span&gt;]]
[[File:View History- marked screenshot.png|right|thumb|&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;View History tab&lt;/span&gt;]]
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Due to the inherent transparency of wikis, '''most information on the Wikimedia projects is public'''. For example, information relating to a particular user's edits on the Wikimedia projects{{#tag:ref| By clicking &quot;User contributions&quot; under &quot;Toolbox&quot; on a particular user's [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:User pages}}|userpage]], you can view the history of that user's edits.}} or information relating to the editing activity on a particular article or page{{#tag:ref| By clicking &quot;View history&quot;, you can view a timeline of the contributions and edits made on that particular article or page.}} is publicly available. You do not need a Wikimedia project account to view this information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
'''The Wikimedia Foundation actually collects very little nonpublic information (if any) that could be used to identify its users offline and it retains that information for a limited amount of time.''' Some of the limited nonpublic information we store is collected automatically (such as the [[{{lwp|IP address}}|IP address]] of the user's device or their [[{{lwp|Proxy server}}|proxy server]] and [[{{lwp|User agent}}|user agent]] information), while other nonpublic information is optionally provided by the user (such as an email address). Regardless, nonpublic information that includes personally identifying information about any particular user is kept for a short amount of time. You can learn more about the types of information we collect and how long we retain that information in our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Data retention guidelines|Data Retention Guidelines]].
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please note that users can use the Wikimedia projects anonymously. Even if a user has registered an account with us, he or she is not required to provide personally identifying information such as a real name, email address, physical address, date of birth, or phone number. And if they have provided any of this information, the information we have may not correspond to a real person as the user may have provided fake or pseudonymous information.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== What We Require From You ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Wikimedia Foundation only discloses nonpublic user information in accordance with our [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]], and applicable law, including the [[{{lwp|Electronic Communications Privacy Act}}|Electronic Communications Privacy Act]] ([//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-119 18 U.S.C. §§2510-2522], [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-121 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701-2711], and [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-II/chapter-206 18 U.S.C. §§ 3121-3127]).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you choose to submit a request to us, it must meet the following requirements:
&lt;/div&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Reasonableness.''' It must be reasonable for us to locate and retrieve the information you request. We do not accept requests that would be unreasonably burdensome to execute.&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;'''Specificity.''' Your request must be specific as to what particular types of information you are requesting and where it may be located. It must also at least specify the username of the party you are seeking information about -- and please note that usernames are case-sensitive. We do not accept general inquiries, requests based solely on real names{{#tag:ref| Users are not requested or required to provide a real name when they use our sites. They are only required to provide a username of their choosing and a password to create an account. If they choose not to create an account, they can still view, edit, and contribute to Wikimedia sites without an account. Therefore, it is impossible for us to search for records based on a person's real name.}}, or vague or overbroad requests.

We believe that the ECPA needs to be updated so that equivalent protections are granted to electronic communications and documents that have already been granted to the physical documents one keeps at home or in their office. To that end, we are a member of the [//digitaldueprocess.org/ Digital Due Process Coalition] to help in that effort.}} Please note that US law does not allow the disclosure of communications content to a non-US governmental entity, unless &quot;pursuant to an order from a foreign government that is subject to an executive agreement that the Attorney General has determined and certified to Congress satisfies section 2523&quot; (see [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702]); or&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Emergency Requests ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In accordance with [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2702 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8)], if you believe there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb (i.e. death or serious bodily injury) to any person, and that we may have information necessary to prevent the threat from being fulfilled, you may request an emergency disclosure.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
In addition to the requirements set forth above, emergency requests should also include (to the extent you are legally permitted to disclose) the following:
&lt;/div&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;A subject line including the phrase &quot;EMERGENCY DISCLOSURE REQUEST&quot;;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The specific information you are requesting and how it is necessary to prevent the threat from being carried out;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The identity of the individual(s) or group(s) of individuals under threat;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;The nature of emergency;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Why you believe it is imminent;&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Links to specific content containing relevant information (if any);&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Any other information you believe will aid in our evaluation of your request; and&lt;/span&gt;
:* &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;A declaration, under the penalty of perjury, that to the best of your knowledge, the information you have submitted is true and accurate.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The decision to grant a request for emergency disclosure lies solely with the Wikimedia Foundation. After evaluation of your request for emergency disclosure, if we have a good faith belief that there is a credible and imminent threat to life or limb, we may provide the information necessary to prevent such harm (if we have and can recover it).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you have an emergency request, please email your request to legal{{@}}wikimedia.org and CC emergency{{@}}wikimedia.org to ensure speedy processing.

=== Child Safety ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We report any discovered instances we believe to be child pornography to the [//www.missingkids.com/ National Center for Missing and Exploited Children] (NCMEC), including information brought to our attention through your requests for nonpublic user information. If your request has already been reported to NCMEC or relates to a case being handled by NCMEC, please include the case or report information in your request.
&lt;/div&gt;

legal{{@}}wikimedia.org

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Please provide a clear and concise subject line, such as &quot;DISCLOSURE REQUEST - [CASE NAME] - DEADLINE: [DATE]&quot;.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;u&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;Via Post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; -

While we agree to accept service of requests by these methods for convenience, neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor its users waive any legal rights or defenses based on this accommodation. Please note that if you are seeking testimony from the Wikimedia Foundation or its staff, officers, contractors, or board members, you must serve such a request on our registered agent for service or process as we do not accept those kinds of requests by post or email.
&lt;/div&gt;{{anchor|notifying-users}}
&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Notifying Our Users of Your Request ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We believe in transparency about when requests are made for our users' nonpublic information. This means that we will notify the user(s) affected by your request of your request and that we will report the receipt and resolution of your request in our transparency report.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
When we receive your request, we will notify and provide a copy of your request to the affected user(s) at least 10 calendar days before we disclose the requested information, provided that (1) we have contact information for the affected user(s); (2) disclosing your request will not create or increase a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; and (3) we are not otherwise prohibited by law or an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, such as an order issued pursuant to [//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2705 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b)], from doing so. If we are unable to provide information about your request to affected users because disclosing it would create a credible threat to life, limb or other serious crime; or we are prohibited by law, we will provide information about your request to affected users that we have contact information for within a reasonable period after the threat or legal restriction has terminated.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
If you are requesting disclosure of nonpublic user information that you believe requires confidentiality, please provide a legally valid and enforceable protective, sealing, or &quot;gag&quot; order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that we must receive notice of such protective, sealing, or gag order prior to the date the Wikimedia Foundation notifies the user for confidentiality to be considered.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
Upon notification to the affected user(s), the user(s) will generally be provided at least 10 calendar days before we will disclose the requested information (assuming we find your request to be otherwise valid), during which time the affected user(s) may attempt to quash or otherwise legally challenge the request. If, prior to the disclosure, we receive notice from the affected user(s) that he or she intends to challenge your request, no information will be delivered until that legal challenge is resolved.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Our Right to Challenge Your Request ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We may, and reserve the right to, challenge the scope or validity of your request, on behalf of any affected user, whether or not the affected user chooses to pursue his or her own legal challenge.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Cost Reimbursement ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
We reserve the right to seek reasonable reimbursement costs for responding to your request.
