There is a red link in [[Policy:Privacy policy/Frequently asked questions#There is outdated or inaccurate information about me in a Wikipedia article!

The Privacy Policy was established on the principles of explaining our practices in clear and concise language, collecting minimal personal information about users, using information to make our websites better for you, and retaining data only as long as we need it.

== Allow people contributing pictures to conceal camera make and model for privacy reasons ==


== Interwiki to enwiki ==
When I uploaded some photos taken using my smartphone I didn’t realise that the wikiMedia website would display all the EXIF metadata from the camera. Please can you add a privacy feature to the user account to hide camera make and model information for my contributions [[User:Adrian816|Adrian816]] ([[User talk:Adrian816|talk]]) 14:23, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
:I think that's a technical question about removal of the EXIF metadata from your existing uploads, and about removing EXIF during your future uploads. Perhaps ask [[:Commons:Village pump]]?<!-- ([[:c:Commons_talk:Exif#Privacy|related discussion]], [[:c:Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2005/06#EXIF|related discussion 2]], [[:c:Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2016/06#Is_there_a_tool_for_making_edits_to_EXIF_data_available_on_Commons?|Is there a tool for making edits to EXIF data available on Commons?]])--> --[[User:Gryllida|Gryllida]] 22:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
::If your photo is displayed somewhere and you download it from there, the downloaded file has no EXIF metadata. The problem though is that without the metadata, there is no evidence that you're the photographer.

There seems to be a wide push for USA companies to apply the standards of the GDPR worldwide, for all users: https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-facebook-ceo-privacy-exclusive/exclusive-facebook-ceo-stops-short-of-extending-european-privacy-globally-idUKKCN1HA2MN

== Discusssion at en WP ==
The implications of [[:en:GDPR|GDPR]] may be unclear for our free software, but it would still be helpful if Wikimedia Foundation were ready to answer similar questions. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 06:06, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
: Strongly agree. Unjustified expansion of application [https://www.google.ru/search?q=data+protection+and+street+photography&gws_rd=ssl GDPR is a very dangerous and toxic initiative] for free knowledge world (and primarily for Wikimedia Commons). It is very important that the [[Legal|WMF Legal Team]] investigate this topic and publish a special appeal and lead a public campaign against this expansion. {{Ping|EHershenov (WMF)|TSebro_(WMF)}} what your opinion about this issue? Maybe someone is already working on learning this?--[[User:Kaganer|Kaganer]] ([[User talk:Kaganer|talk]]) 15:35, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

== Diff quality ==


== COPPA ==
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)

:@[[User:Wimajo15|Wimajo15]]: Hello, the term of use and the privacy policy don't prevent children from editing Wikipedia.

It's troubling that the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_policy%2FFAQ&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=18063549&oldid=16949953 updated section] makes specific reference to a guideline specific to the English Wikipedia.
