Privacy Policy
Disclaimer: This summary is not a part of the
Privacy Policy and is not a legal document. It is simply a handy reference
for understanding the full Privacy Policy. Think of it as the user-friendly
interface to our Privacy Policy.
Because we believe that you shouldn’t have to provide personal information to participate in the free knowledge movement, you may:
Read, edit, or use any Site without registering an account.
Register for an account without providing an email address or real name.
Because we want to understand how Sites are used so we can make them better for you, we collect some information when you:
Make public contributions.
Register an account or update your user page.
Use the Sites.
Send us emails or participate in a survey or give feedback.
We are committed to:
Describing how your information may be used or shared in this Privacy Policy.
Using reasonable measures to keep your information secure.
Never selling your information or sharing it with third parties for marketing purposes.
Only sharing your information in limited circumstances, such as to improve the Sites, to comply with the law, or to protect you and others.
Be aware:
Any content you add or any change that you make to a Site will be publicly and permanently available.
If you add content or make a change to a Site without logging in, that content or change will be publicly and permanently archived in the public interest; your content or change will be attributed to the IP address used at the time rather than a username.
Our community of volunteer editors and contributors is a self-policing body. Certain administrators of the Sites, who are chosen by the community, use tools that grant them limited access to nonpublic information about recent contributions so they may protect the Sites and enforce policies.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to all sites and services run by the Foundation, such as sites or services that have their own privacy policy (like the Shop) or sites or services run by third parties (like third-party developer projects on Cloud Services).
As part of our commitment to education and research around the world, we occasionally release public information and aggregated or non-personal information to the general public through data dumps and data sets.
For the protection of the Foundation and other users, if you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you may not use the Sites.
All of our technology is completely unnecessary to a happy life.
