Archive:WMCON 2017 Feedback Survey Privacy Statement

From Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki

This statement describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants.

Please note that this survey is powered by Google Forms, which means Google's use of your information is governed by their Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Purpose of Survey

Thanks for your feedback! This survey is to help us understand the education sessions in Berlin in 2017, and who is going to be attending learning days at Wikimania Montreal.

What Information We Collect

This survey collects responses you provide to the questions asked. There are two types: pre-formatted questions and free-form questions.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

The results of this survey will be shared with Wikimedia Foundation staff as well as with members of Wikimedia Argentina and Wikimedia Israel (co-sponsors of the event) for the purpose of better understanding and improving this learning event and similar ones in the future.

The information will be shared with the above people and organizations in the following manner: aggregate data about the defined-response questions, and anonymous answers to the free-form response questions. Because the survey is intended to be anonymous, we strongly suggest that you do not provide your real name or other personal information in response to any free-form questions. Raw data will only be shared with the Wikimedia staff who need to process this information and are subject to non-disclosure obligations, with the exception of the circumstances described below.

We may disclose any collected 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 our Terms of Use or any other Wikimedia policy.

Licensing of Survey Responses

By answering the free-form response questions, you agree that we may record your answers, and agree to license them under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported.

Important Information

Wikimedia is a global organization committed to promoting free and open knowledge. 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. You also consent to the transfer of information from the U.S. to other countries, which may have different or less stringent data protection laws than your country, in order to carry out the aforementioned purposes and objectives.

Wikimedia understands the importance of user privacy. For this reason, we work to protect our users from the unauthorized disclosure or use of information we maintain. The results of this survey may be retained indefinitely, both the raw responses and the aggregated data. See our data retention guidelines for more information.

Thanks again for your feedback!
