== Diff quality == |
|||
The [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=18063543&oldid=17995859&rcid=11900547 quite unreadable diff] doesn't help the conversation. I recommend that you revert it and apply things like translation unit changes and uppercase changes in separate diffs. Also, some translation units don't follow best practices for translatability. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 17:28, 21 May 2018 (UTC) |
|||
Is there a reason a link to the diff wasn't included in the blog post? Or some kind of summary of the changes? I read a few references to "minor edits" without a description of what was actually changing. I eventually found <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_policy&diff=18063543&oldid=17995859> myself, and I agree with Nemo that this diff is not enjoyable to read, even for long-time editors. It's not immediately clear which paragraphs were removed, which were added, which were reformatted, and why. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 23:40, 21 May 2018 (UTC) |

|||
* I too came here looking for the actual changes being made. I saw the banner announcement, read the blogpost, read the message on the mailing list... but other than saying that there are some minor changes, nowhere does it actually tell you what these changes actually are. If they're that minor it should be easy to identify them. Since the timing is specifically the same as GDPR, and yet the comments here on this talkpage indicate that these changes do not actually address GDPR issues, is this just a conspicuous coincidence?

:*+1 - Just had the privacy banner appear hence the lateness - Like everyone above I too came here to see what had actually changed ..... I didn't really expect diffs .... just a "this has been added" and "this has been removed" ..... Without sounding disrespectful I'm not going to spend all my life reading [[Privacy policy]] (FWIW I don't read any of that on other sites either), I guess I just liked to have known what those minor changes were –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color: blue;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color: orange;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color: navy;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 01:21, 24 May 2018 (UTC) |

As the person who did most of this wikification, I guess I’m the best person to answer this. The answer is, unfortunately, not terribly satisfying: a combination of limitations on the way the content was built up and updated and constraints on version control between different formats as the text wandered through various processes meant that we ended up having to choose between getting the content up in a timely manner or getting the diff viewability and translation markup perfect. The team estimated that the latter would be a considerable additional time investment and we chose the former in this instance and, well, here we are. |
|||
So, the bad news is that we don’t really have any feasible way to go back and re-do all the changes in a more diff-able manner, because the changes don’t exist, even on our end, in that format. The good news is that my team has been working with Legal this week this week on better way to address the version control issue going forward.

::Kbrown, nobody has asked that you rewrite history. Just read your own diff, separate it in different parts, revert your edit and apply all the different edits separately.

== Confidential data == |
|||
I see that a sentence was removed: «If you choose to provide your email address, we will keep it confidential, except as provided in this Policy». Other sections kept similar sentences, for instance «We keep IP addresses confidential» and «We keep information obtained by these technologies confidential», in addition to «In the extremely unlikely event that ownership of all or substantially all of the Foundation changes, or we go through a reorganization (such as a merger, consolidation, or acquisition), we will continue to keep your personal information confidential». |
|||
What does this mean? Does it mean that other parts of the policy can allow such data to be shared even without saying it explicitly? --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 17:56, 21 May 2018 (UTC) |
|||
*It looks to me like the biggest change is to how email addreses will be handled. The changes around it imply that the foundation will now use email addresses to solicit funds. Also, WMF will possibly share email addresses with other entities that further its "charitable mission." Why was the language that protected email addresses removed? It looks a little like a sleight of hand maneuver to allow the giving of information (not "sell") to other organizations that may have donated or contributed to WMF "charitable mission" with no definition of what the mission is or who may use the information to further it. {{Unsigned|2600:8800:1300:16E:F15F:D980:8971:23A0}} |
|||
*:Really? I've read the changes in the exact opposite way, making the policy more permissive about emails (though arguably nothing extraordinary)=: see [[#Confidential data]]. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 20:43, 22 May 2018 (UTC) |

|||
*Hi {{u|Nemo_bis}}. We are not changing our email handling practices. We just removed this sentence for the sake of clarity and readability. As the policy provides elsewhere, we are committed to keeping Personal Information, including email addresses, confidential as described in the policy. When you use the "Email this user" feature, your email address may become visible, as disclosed in the interface. [[User:TSebro (WMF)|TSebro (WMF)]] ([[User talk:TSebro (WMF)|talk]]) 21:45, 23 May 2018 (UTC) |
|||
*:If you think that sentence was redundant, why did you keep it in two other paragraphs? I know how [[Special:EmailUser]] works, but your sentence here may be misunderstood: MediaWiki never makes the email address visible. The users' email clients do. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 06:43, 24 May 2018 (UTC) |
|||
*:[[User:TSebro (WMF)|TSebro (WMF)]], I wasn't specific enough. In the section regarding emails/data, a new phrase appears. It is "charitable mission." It appears in different ways {{tq|We and our service providers use your information for the legitimate purpose of pursuing our charitable mission, including:}} is one such instance. This appears to broaden how WMF may use information. It isn't just relocation, it's a new phrase with "charitable mission" (or in another place {{tq| in all instances, in keeping with our legitimate charitable purpose of pursuing our mission}}. This seems like an expansion of how the data will be used and who may use it. If it's not, why the new phrasing?

== Enforcement == |
|||
Policy is always nice, but without enforcement it is meaningless. There have been multiple breaches of privacy of more than one individual, and by the very people who are supposed to be enforcing it. In some cases, volunteers entrusted with PII have even released this information intentionally. There is still no standard for vetting and training oversighters, or reporting mechanism for breaches. The NDAs signed by oversighters are meaningless, because they are volunteers, not employees or contractors. In spite of multiple failures of the system, there has been no public investigation or examination of the system itself, or even an acknowledgment of the problem. Perhaps it is time for an outside evaluation? —[[User:Neotarf|Neotarf]] ([[User talk:Neotarf|talk]]) 23:13, 24 May 2018 (UTC) |

:Hi {{u|Neotarf}}. Concerns about users with Oversight or Checkuser Permissions should be raised with the local Arbitration Committee or with the Ombuds Committee, and the Foundation will work closely with them to resolve any issues. [[User:TSebro (WMF)|TSebro (WMF)]] ([[User talk:TSebro (WMF)|talk]]) 04:59, 5 June 2018 (UTC) |
|||
::So, [[User:TSebro (WMF)|TSebro (WMF)]], concerns about the arbitration committee or the ombuds committee should be taken to the arbitration committee or the ombuds committee, and everything will be just fine? The problem with that is that the WMF doesn't *know* whether everything will be just fine, because they aren't tracking it. It may be that instead of "working closely with the Foundation", the committee members will instead choose to block the user so they can't object, block their talk page so they cannot ping someone to unblock them, publish further dox about the individual, remove their email access so they cannot contact someone else to remove the dox, and send them bounce notifications if they try to email the committee directly. I would also note that any private information that someone sends the arbitration committee will then end up being stored in the personal email accounts of the individual arbitrators, even after they are no longer participating with Wikipedia. And the arbcom mailing list has historically been very leaky. Also, if the user is in an region with heavy internet censorship or surveillance, or a repressive government, expecting them to send more and more emails to try to get something removed may actually be dangerous advice and bring additional unwanted attention. It would be better just to have an arbitrators that didn't publish personal information in the first place. [[User:Neotarf|Neotarf]] ([[User talk:Neotarf|talk]]) 01:30, 15 June 2018 (UTC) |

== UI after ‘describe the edit you made’ == |
|||
Many people here bring up good ideas about hiding camera metadata, ip addresses and so forth. My thought is that a UI window could be added after the ‘describe the edit you made’ window that could give the user privacy options. The purpose of this would be 1.) to let new or uninformed users make their edits without too much effort up front thereby not ‘scaring them away’ and 2.) to have transparent options to publish or delete and explanation about what publishing metadata or IP info (or other similar info) can mean for the user.

The lack of concern and properly run area's which can have Privacy the way it's issued in our privacy policy's, we need to implement the known solutions so people and others can feel better no matter where they are or go. |
