Legal:Understanding Third-Party Use of Wikipedia Content Survey Privacy Statement

From Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki

Thank you for participating in this survey! Your survey responses will help us understand and improve current and future features, data tools, and APIs.


We will only collect your name, information about your work, email address, and any information included in your responses to the survey. By answering these questions, you agree to donate your responses to the public domain, meaning we can freely share your responses with others. We will retain your responses for a maximum of 90 days in raw form and indefinitely in aggregate or anonymized form. We may use your name, information about your company, and email address to contact you and will retain them indefinitely. We will not publicly share your email address or other personally identifying information. However, this commitment assumes you do not incorporate your personally identifying information in response to a question that does not ask for it. Please note that we may disclose any collected information (including personally identifying information) when required by law, when we have your permission, when needed to protect our rights, privacy, safety, users, or the general public, and when necessary to enforce any Wikimedia policy.


By submitting your response, you agree to the transfer, storage, and use of the collected information to the United States and other places as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and objectives discussed above. Please note that this survey is powered by a third-party provider, which means their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy and terms of service.
