We appreciate your feedback on the Wikimedia Foundation Projects!  Feedback from users like you is one of the best ways for us to find out what works, what doesn't, and how we can improve our services for you. 

To help improve our site, your feedback and ID information are transparent as is the case for any other contribution. That is, when you provide feedback for a Wikimedia Foundation Project, you agree to license it pursuant to CC BY SA 3.0 like any contribution under our Terms of Use and allow its public use like any contribution under our Privacy Policy. This includes public use of your User ID (if you provided one) or your IP address associated with your feedback (if you don't provide a User ID) ("your ID information").

The Wikimedia Foundation can view the feedback and other collected information, including your User ID (if you provided one), your IP address, and any other data provided or transmitted to us. 

As part of the efforts to support or help improve Wikimedia operations and activities, we may seek public review and discussion of our issues, and, for that reason, we may publish some or all of your feedback and your ID information in public media, including public websites and blogs. We may share your feedback and ID information with third party service providers in an effort to support or help improve Wikimedia operations and activities consistent with the privacy policy for contributions. Your feedback and your ID information may be included in publicly available data, analytics, surveys and research in an effort to analyze, improve, share, or discuss publicly our activities and operations at Wikimedia Foundation.

We may disclose information when required by law, when needed to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or users, and when necessary to enforce our Terms of Use.  By providing feedback, you consent to the transfer of the collected information to the United States and other places as may be necessary to carry out the set out purposes and objectives. You understand that you have no expectation of compensation for any ideas that you provide to us.

Thanks again for helping make the Wikimedia Foundation Projects better!
