ఇది గోప్యతా విధానము యొక్క సారాంశం. అంశాలను పూర్తిగా చదివేందుకు, కిందికి స్క్రాల్ చెయ్యండి లేదా ఇక్కడ నొక్కండి.
నిష్పూచీ: ఈ సారాంశం, గోప్యతా విధానములో భాగం కాదు. ఇది చట్టబద్ధమైన పత్రం కాదు. పూర్తి గోప్యతా విధానాన్ని అర్థం చేసుకునేందుకు ఉపయోగపడే కరదీపిక లాంటిది మాత్రమే. మా గోప్యతా విధానానికి వాడుకరి హితమైన ఇంటరుఫేసుగా దీన్ని భావించండి.

స్వేచ్ఛా విజ్ఞాన ఉద్యమంలో పాల్గొనేందుకు మీరు మీ వ్యక్తిగత సమాచారాన్ని ఇవ్వాల్సిన అవసరం లేదని మేం విశ్వసిస్తాం కాబట్టి, మీరు:

మీ కోసం వికీమీడియా సైట్లను మెరుగు పరచేందుకు గాను, వాటిని ప్రజలు ఎలా వాడుకుంటున్నారో తెలుసుకోవా లనుకుంటున్నాం కాబట్టి, మీరు కింది పనులు చేసినపుడు మేము కొంత సమాచారాన్ని సేకరిస్తాం:

మేము కిందివాటికి నిబద్ధులమై ఉన్నాం:

గుర్తుంచుకోండి:

మీరు లాగిన్ అవకుండా ఏదైనా వికీమీడియా సైటులో మార్పుచేర్పులు చేస్తే, అవి వాడుకరిపేరుకు కాక, అప్పటి ఐపీ చిరునామాకు ఆపాదించబడతాయి.

  • మా స్వచ్ఛంద రచయితల సముదాయం స్వీయ నియంత్రిత సంఘం. సముదాయం ఎంచుకున్న నిర్వాహకులకు, ఇటీవలి రచనల గురించిన గోప్య సమాచారం కొంత అందుబాటులో ఉంటుంది. వికీమీడియాఅ సైట్ల భద్రతకు, విధానాల అమలుకూ ఇది అవసరం.
  • ఈ గోప్యతా విధానము వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషను నడిపే అన్ని సైట్లకు, సేవలకూ వర్తించదు. తమ స్వంత గోప్యతా విధానం కలిగినవి ఉన్నాయి (Wikimedia Shop లాంటివి) లేదా థర్డ్ పార్టీలు నడిపే సైట్లు, సేవలు (Wikimedia Labs లోని థర్డ్ పార్టీ డెవలపర్ ప్రాజెక్టులు లాంటివి).
  • ప్రపంచ వ్యాప్తంగా విద్య పట్ల, పరిశోధన పట్లా మాకున్న నిబద్ధతలో భాగంగా, అప్పుడప్పుడూ మేము సార్వజనిక సమాచారాన్ని, సంకలిత లేదా వ్యక్తిగతం కాని సమాచారాన్ని డేటా డంపులు, డేటా సెట్ల ద్వారా బహిరంగ పరుస్తూంటాం.
  • మీకు ఈ గోప్యతా విధానం ఆమోదం కాని పక్షంలో, వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషను మరియు ఇతర వాడుకరుల భద్రత కోసం గాను, మీరు వికీమీడియా సైట్లను వాడకుంటే మంచిది.

స్వాగతం!

వికీమీడియా ఉద్యమం ఒక సరళమైన, శక్తివంతమైన సూత్రంపై నిర్మించబడింది: కలసికట్టుగా పనిచేస్తే, ఏ ఒక్కరు చేసే పనికన్నా ఎక్కువ చెయ్యగలం.

సమాచార సేకరణ, దాని వినియోగం రెండూ కూడా జమిలిగా, పారదర్శకంగా సాగాలని మేం నమ్ముతాం. వికీపీడియా లాంటి వికీమీడియా సైట్లను హోస్టు చేస్తున్న లాభాపేక్ష లేని మీడియావికీ సంస్థ, మీనుండి వచ్చే సమాచారాన్ని ఎలా సేకరిస్తుందో, వినియోగిస్తుందో, పంచుతుందో ఈ విధాన పత్రం తెలియజేస్తుంది. వికీమీడియా సైట్లలో మీరు దేన్నైనా వాడినపుడు, ఈ విధాన పత్రంలో వివరించినట్లుగా మీ సమాచారం యొక్క సేకరణ, ప్రాసెసింగు, భద్రపరచడం, వెల్లడించడం, వినియోగించడం మొదలైన వాటికి మీ సమ్మతిని తెలియజేసినట్లేనని మీరు గ్రహించడం ఆవశ్యకం. అందుచేత ఈ విధానాన్ని మీరు జాగ్రత్తగా చదవడం ముఖ్యం.

స్వేచ్ఛా విజ్ఞాన ఉద్యమంలో పాల్గొనేందుకు మీరు వ్యక్తిగత సమాచారాన్ని ఇవ్వవలసిన అవసరం ఉండకూడదని మేము నమ్ముతున్నాం. ఖాతా తెరిచేందుకో వికీమీడియా సైట్లలో తోడ్పాటు అందించేందుకో మీ అసలు పేరు, చిరునామా, పుట్టినరోజు వగైరాలను ఇవ్వవలసిన అవసరం లేదు.

మీ గోపనీయ సమాచారాన్ని మేము అమ్మము, అద్దెకు ఇవ్వము. ఇతరులు మీ కేదైనా అమ్మేందుకు గాను దాన్ని ఇవ్వం. వికీమీడియా సైట్లు మరింత తేలిగ అందుబాటులో ఉండేందుకు, ఏ ఆలోచనలు పని చేస్తాయో తెలుసుకొనేందుకు, నేర్చుకోవడం నేర్పడం మరింత ఆనందకరంగా ఉండేందుకూ దాన్ని ఉపయోగిస్తాం. ఒక్క ముక్కలో చెప్పాలంటే: వికీమీడియా సైట్లను మీకోసం మరింత మెరుగు పరచేందుకు ఆ సమాచారాన్ని ఉపయోగిస్తాం.

ఎన్ని చెప్పినా, వికీమీడియా సైట్ల ఉనికికీ, వాటి పెరుగుదలకు, విస్తృతికీ మీలాంటి స్వేచ్ఛా విజ్ఞాన ఉద్యమకారులే కారణమనేది సత్యం.

నిర్వచనాలు

ప్రతీ ఒక్కరికీ (లాయర్లకే కాకుండా) తమ సమాచారాన్ని ఎందుకు, ఎలా సేకరిస్తారో, ఎందుకు ఎలా వినియోగిస్తారో సులభంగా అర్థం అయేందుకు గాను, ఈ విధానంలో పడికట్టు పదాలను వాడకుండా మామూలు భాషను వాడాము. కొన్ని విశిష్ట పదాలను మీరు అర్థం చేసుకునేందుకు గాను, ఇక్కడ కొన్ని అనువాదాలను ఇచ్చాం.

ఈ గోప్యతా విధానంలో ఉన్నవి, లేనివి

Except as explained below, this Privacy Policy applies to our collection and handling of information about you that we receive as a result of your use of any of the Wikimedia Sites. This Policy also applies to information that we receive from our partners or other third parties. To understand more about what this Privacy Policy covers, please see below.

ఈ గోప్యతా విధానంలో ఏమేమి ఉంటాయనేదానికి ఉదాహరణలు

స్పష్టత కోసం, ఈ గోప్యతా విధానం భాషలకతీతంగా వీటిని కవరు చేస్తుంది:

  • వికీపీడియా లాంటి మా పెద్ద సైట్లు (పెద్ద ప్రాజెక్టుల జాబితా), వాడుకరి పేజీలు, చర్చ పేజీలు, నోటీసుబోర్డులతో సహా.
  • మా బ్లాగులు, APIలు (ఎక్కడైనా ప్రత్యేకించిన విధానాన్ని ప్రకటించి ఉంటే తప్ప).

మా అధికారిక జాబితాలో ఉండే మా మొబైలు సైట్లు, అప్లికేషన్లు.

  • మేం పంపిన, మీరు మాకు పంపిన ఈమెయిళ్ళు, SMS, గమనింపులు.

This Privacy Policy, however, does not cover some situations where we may gather or process information. For example, some uses may be covered by separate privacy policies (like those of the Wikimedia Shop) or sites or services run by third parties (such as third-party developer projects on Wikimedia Cloud Services). To understand more about what this Privacy Policy does not cover, please see below.

More on what this Privacy Policy doesn’t cover

This section is part of the Privacy Policy and is meant to explain in detail which situations are not covered by our Privacy Policy.

Wikimedia Sites and Tools with alternative policies
Some Wikimedia Foundation websites or tools have alternative privacy policies or provisions that differ from this Privacy Policy. These websites include:
If a Wikimedia Foundation website is governed by an alternative privacy policy, it will link to such policy. When a Wikimedia Foundation tool is governed by an alternative privacy policy, the page where the tool may be downloaded or enabled will include a link to that policy.
Community members
The Wikimedia Sites are collaborative labors of love that are constantly maintained and updated by a global community of volunteers. As a result, some volunteers have access to certain Personal Information, and use of that Personal Information may not be governed by this Privacy Policy. Volunteers that have such access include:
  • Administrative volunteers, such as CheckUsers or Stewards. These are volunteers who enforce Wikimedia Site policies and ensure the safety of the Wikimedia Sites. When these administrators access Personal Information that is nonpublic, they are required to comply with our Access to Nonpublic Information Policy, as well as other, tool-specific policies.
  • Tool providers. Tool providers. We support platforms for third-party developers to experiment and develop new tools and sites, such as wmflabs.org. When you use one of the tools developed by these volunteers, you may transfer information to them. When these volunteers access nonpublic information or Personal Information, they are required to comply with the terms governing the particular platform the tool is available on.
  • Other users. We provide several tools that allow users to communicate with each other. The communications may be covered by this Policy while they pass through our systems, but the users who receive these communications, and what they do with the communications once they receive them, are not covered by this Policy. Examples include:
    • posting to Foundation-hosted email lists;
    • requesting support from volunteers through our online ticketing system (email sent to info[at]wikimedia.org goes to this system);
    • emailing other users through the Wikimedia Sites (for example, by using the "Email this user" feature); and
    • chatting on IRC (such as on the #wikipedia channel).
Third parties
This Privacy Policy only covers the way the Wikimedia Foundation collects, uses and discloses Personal Information and does not address the practices of third parties. For example, this Privacy Policy does not address the practices of:
  • Websites run by other organizations, like websites linked to from the “References” sections of Wikipedia, or run by Wikimedia chapters or other movement organizations. These organizations may receive information from you if you visit their websites after using one of the Wikimedia Sites. They are governed by their own privacy policies.
  • Mobile applications provided by other organizations or individuals. These organizations or individuals may receive information from you if you use those applications to access the Wikimedia Sites or Wikimedia Site content. They are governed by their own privacy policies.

Sometimes, volunteers may place a data-collecting tool, such as a script, gadget, tracking pixel, or share button, on a Wikimedia Site without our knowledge. This Policy does not cover how third parties handle the information they receive as a result of such a tool. If you come across such a third-party tool, and you believe it violates this Policy, you can remove the tool yourself, or report it to privacy[at]wikimedia.org so we can investigate.

Where community policies govern information, such as the CheckUser policy, the relevant community may add to the rules and obligations set out in this Policy. However, they are not permitted to create new exceptions or otherwise reduce the protections offered by this Policy.

మీ నుండి మేం అందుకునే సమాచారపు రకాలు, దాన్ని ఎలా సేకరిస్తాం, ఎలా వినియోగిస్తాం

===

మీ బహిరంగ తోడ్పాటు

When you make a contribution to any Wikimedia Site, including on user or discussion pages, you are creating a permanent, public record of every piece of content added, removed, or altered by you. The page history will show when your contribution or deletion was made, as well as your username (if you are signed in) or your IP address (if you are not signed in). We may use your public contributions, either aggregated with the public contributions of others or individually, to create new features or data-related products for you or to learn more about how the Wikimedia Sites are used.

Publicly Visible Information

Unless this Policy says otherwise, you should assume that information that you actively contribute to the Wikimedia Sites, including Personal Information, is publicly visible and can be found by search engines. Like most things on the Internet, anything you share may be copied and redistributed throughout the Internet by other people. Please do not contribute any information that you are uncomfortable making permanently public, like revealing your real name or location in your contributions.

You should be aware that specific data made public by you or aggregated data that is made public by us can be used by anyone for analysis and to infer further information, such as which country a user is from, political affiliation and gender.

ఖాతా సమాచారం & నమోదు

ఖాతా సృష్టించుకోవాలనుకుంటున్నారా? భలే! ఖాతా సృష్టించుకోవాలనుకోవడం లేదా? ఏం పరవాలేదు!

You are not required to create an account to read or contribute to a Wikimedia Site, except under rare circumstances. However, if you contribute without signing in, your contribution will be publicly attributed to the IP address associated with your device.

If you want to create a standard account, in most cases we require only a username and a password.

More on Usernames

Your username will be publicly visible, so please be careful about using your real name as your username. Your password is only used to verify that the account is yours. Your IP address is also automatically submitted to us, and we record it temporarily to help prevent abuse. No other personal information is required: no name, no email address, no date of birth, no credit card information.

Once created, user accounts cannot be removed entirely (although you can usually hide the information on your user page if you choose to). This is because your public contributions must be associated with their author (you!). In some circumstances, the Wikimedia communities can assist users with removing additional information related to their account from the projects.

To gain a better understanding of the demographics of our users, to localize our services and to learn how we can improve our services, we may ask you for more demographic information, such as gender or age, about yourself. We will tell you if such information is intended to be public or private, so that you can make an informed decision about whether you want to provide us with that information. Providing such information is always completely optional. If you don't want to, you don't have to—it's as simple as that.

స్థల సమాచారం

GPS & ఇతర స్థల సంబంధ సాంకేతికతలు

మేము అందిస్తున్న కొన్ని అంశాలు, మీరు ఏ ప్రాంతంలో ఉన్నారో తెలిస్తే మరింత మెరుగ్గా పని చేస్తాయి. అయితే ఇందుకోసం మేం జియోలొకేషన్ పరికరాలను వాడాలా లేదా అనేది పూర్తిగా మీ ఇష్టం. మీరు ఒప్పుకుంటే, మీకు సంబంధించిన విషయాలను చూపించడం కోసం మేం GPS (స్థలాన్ని నిర్ధారించే ఇతర సాంకేతికతలను) వాడతాం. ఈ సాంకేతికతల ద్వారా పొందే సమాచారాన్ని, ఈ విధానంలో చూపిన వాటికి మినహాయించి, గోప్యంగా ఉంచుతాం. మా తరచూ అడిగే సందేహాల లోని ఉదాహరణలను చూసి మేము ఈ సాంకేతికతలను ఎలా వినియోగిస్తామో మరింత తెలుసుకోవచ్చు.

మెటాడేటా

Sometimes, we automatically receive location data from your device. For example, if you want to upload a photo on the Wikimedia Commons mobile app, we may receive metadata, such as the place and time you took the photo, automatically from your device. Please be aware that, unlike location information collected using GPS signals described above, the default setting on your mobile device typically includes the metadata in your photo or video upload to the Wikimedia Sites. If you do not want metadata sent to us and made public at the time of your upload, please change your settings on your device.

ఐపీ చిరునామాలు

Finally, when you visit any Wikimedia Site, we automatically receive the IP address of the device (or your proxy server) you are using to access the Internet, which could be used to infer your geographical location.

మీ వికీమీడియా సైట్ల వాడకానికి సంబంధించిన సమాచారం

We want to make the Wikimedia Sites better for you by learning more about how you use them. Examples of this might include how often you visit the Wikimedia Sites, what you like, what you find helpful, how you get to the Wikimedia Sites, and whether you would use a helpful feature more if we explained it differently. We also want this Policy and our practices to reflect our community's values. For this reason, we keep information related to your use of the Wikimedia Sites confidential, except as provided in this Policy.

ఆటోమాటిగా మాకు అందే సమాచారం

Because of how browsers work, we receive some information automatically when you visit the Wikimedia Sites. This information includes the type of device you are using (possibly including unique device identification numbers, for some beta versions of our mobile applications), the type and version of your browser, your browser's language preference, the type and version of your device's operating system, in some cases the name of your internet service provider or mobile carrier, the website that referred you to the Wikimedia Sites, which pages you request and visit, and the date and time of each request you make to the Wikimedia Sites.

Put simply, we use this information to enhance your experience with Wikimedia Sites. For example, we use this information to administer the sites, provide greater security, and fight vandalism; optimize mobile applications, customize content and set language preferences, test features to see what works, and improve performance; understand how users interact with the Wikimedia Sites, track and study use of various features, gain understanding about the demographics of the different Wikimedia Sites, and analyze trends.

మేము సేకరించే సమాచారం

We actively collect some types of information with a variety of commonly-used technologies. These generally include tracking pixels, JavaScript, and a variety of "locally stored data" technologies, such as cookies and local storage. We realize that some of these technologies do not have the best reputation in town and can be used for less-than-noble purposes. So we want to be as clear as we can about why we use these methods and the type of information we collect with them.

Depending on which technology we use, locally stored data can be anything from text, pictures, and whole articles (as we explain further below) to Personal Information (like your IP address) and information about your use of the Wikimedia Sites (like your username or the time of your visit).

We use this information to make your experience with the Wikimedia Sites safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with the Wikimedia Sites, and to generally improve our services. We will never use third-party cookies, unless we get your permission to do so. If you ever come across a third-party data collection tool that has not been authorized by you (such as one that may have been mistakenly placed by another user or administrator), please report it to us at privacy@wikimedia.org.

More on Locally Stored Data

స్థానికంగా భద్రపరచిన డేటా, జావాస్క్రిప్టు, ట్రాకింగ్ పిక్సెళ్ళు మాకు కింది పనులు చేసి పెడతాయి:

  • Provide you with a customizable experience, such as using cookies to know your language preference, to remember the user preferences you set so we can provide you with the customized look and feel that you want, and to tell you about interesting Wikimedia issues and events in your area.
  • Deliver more relevant content to you faster. For example, we use local storage to store your most recently read articles directly on your device, so they can be retrieved quickly. Also, we use cookies to learn about the topics searched so that we can optimize the search results we deliver to you.
  • Understand how you use the Wikimedia Sites, so that we know what works and what is useful. For example, we might use cookies to learn about the list of articles you are following on your watchlist so that we can recommend similar articles that you may be interested in.
  • Understand how you use the Wikimedia Sites across different devices, so that we can make our varied Wikimedia Sites more efficient and effective for you.
  • Make the Wikimedia Sites more convenient to use, such as by using cookies to maintain your session when you log in or to remember your username in the login field.

Want to know even more? You can read more about some of the specific cookies we use, when they expire, and what we use them for in our FAQ.

We believe this data collection helps improve your user experience, but you may remove or disable some or all locally stored data through your browser settings, depending on your browser. You can learn more about some options you have in our FAQ. While locally stored data may not be necessary to use our sites, some features will not function properly if you disable locally stored data.

While the examples above concerning information about you collected through the use of data collection tools are kept confidential in accordance with this Policy, please note that some information about the actions taken by your username is made publicly available through public logs alongside actions taken by other users. For example, a public log may include the date your account was created on a Wikimedia Site along with the dates that other accounts were created on a Wikimedia Site.

Location information

GPS & Other Location Technologies

As stated above, we can use commonly-used location technologies to show you more relevant content. For example, our mobile apps can identify articles from the Wikimedia sites about points of interest near your location. As a reminder, you can deactivate our access to these location technologies at any time, and still use the Wikimedia Sites.

Metadata

As stated above, we may automatically receive location data from your device. For example, if you upload a photo using the Wikimedia Commons mobile app, please be aware that the default setting on your mobile device typically results in the metadata associated with your photo being included in the upload. As a reminder, if you do not want metadata sent to us and made public at the time of your upload, please change your settings on your device.

IP Addresses

When you visit any Wikimedia Site, we automatically receive the IP address of the device (or your proxy server) you are using to access the Internet, which could be used to infer your geographical location. We keep IP addresses confidential, except as provided in this Policy. If you are visiting Wikimedia Sites with your mobile device, we may use your IP address to provide anonymized or aggregated information to service providers regarding the volume of usage in certain areas.

We use this location information to make your experience with the Wikimedia Sites safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with the Wikimedia Sites, and to generally improve our services. For example, we use this information to provide greater security, optimize mobile applications, and learn how to expand and better support Wikimedia communities. We also use Personal Information in the manner described in the sections of this Policy titled "For Legal Reasons" and "To Protect You, Ourselves & Others."

మీ సమాచారాన్ని మేము ఎప్పుడు పంచవచ్చు?

మీ అనుమతితో

We share your information for a particular purpose, if you agree. You can find more information in the list of examples in our FAQ.

చట్ట సంబంధ కారణాల వలన

We will access, use, preserve, and/or disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to satisfy a valid and legally enforceable warrant, subpoena, court order, law or regulation, or other judicial or administrative order. However, if we believe that a particular request for disclosure of a user's information is legally invalid or an abuse of the legal system and the affected user does not intend to oppose the disclosure themselves, we will try our best to fight it. We are committed to notifying you via email at least ten (10) calendar days, when possible, before we disclose your Personal Information in response to a legal demand. However, we may only provide notice if we are not legally restrained from contacting you, there is no credible threat to life or limb that is created or increased by disclosing the request, and you have provided us with an email address.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal objections or defenses you may have to a third party's request (whether it be civil, criminal, or governmental) to disclose your information. We recommend seeking the advice of legal counsel immediately if such a request is made involving you.

సంస్థ బదిలీ అయితే (అయ్యే అవకాశం లేదులెండి)

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, except as provided in this Policy, and provide notice to you via the Wikimedia Sites and a notification on WikimediaAnnounce-L or similar mailing list at least thirty (30) calendar days before any Personal Information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

మిమ్మల్ని, మమ్మల్ని, ఇతరులనూ సంరక్షించేందుకు

We, or particular users with certain administrative rights as described below, may need to share your Personal Information if it is reasonably believed to be necessary to enforce or investigate potential violations of our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy, or any Wikimedia Foundation or user community-based policies. We may also need to access and share information to investigate and defend ourselves against legal threats or actions.

Wikimedia Sites are collaborative, with users writing most of the policies and selecting from amongst themselves people to hold certain administrative rights. These rights may include access to limited amounts of otherwise nonpublic information about recent contributions and activity by other users. They use this access to help protect against vandalism and abuse, fight harassment of other users, and generally try to minimize disruptive behavior on the Wikimedia Sites. These various user-selected administrative groups have their own privacy and confidentiality guidelines, but all such groups are supposed to agree to follow our Access to Nonpublic Information Policy. These user-selected administrative groups are accountable to other users through checks and balances: users are selected through a community-driven process and overseen by their peers through a logged history of their actions. However, the legal names of these users are not known to the Wikimedia Foundation.

We hope that this never comes up, but we may disclose your Personal Information if we believe that it's reasonably necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm or death to a person, or to protect our organization, employees, contractors, users, or the public. We may also disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise assess and address potential spam, malware, fraud, abuse, unlawful activity, and security or technical concerns. (Check out the list of examples in our FAQ for more information.)

మా సేవల సమర్పకులకు

As hard as we may try, we can't do it all. So sometimes we use third-party service providers or contractors who help run or improve the Wikimedia Sites for you and other users. We give access to your Personal Information to these providers or contractors as needed to perform their services for us or to use their tools and services. We put requirements, such as confidentiality agreements, in place to help ensure that these service providers treat your information consistently with, and no less protective of your privacy than, the principles of this Policy. (Check out the list of examples in our FAQ.)

If you are visiting Wikimedia Sites with your mobile device, we use your IP address to provide anonymized or aggregated information to service providers regarding the volume of usage in certain areas.

అర్థం చేసుకోవడం కోసం, ప్రయోగం కోసం

The open-source software that powers the Wikimedia Sites depends on the contributions of volunteer software developers, who spend time writing and testing code to help it improve and evolve with our users' needs. To facilitate their work, we give some developers limited access to systems that contain your Personal Information, but only as reasonably necessary for them to develop and contribute to the Wikimedia Sites.

Similarly, we share non-Personal Information or aggregated information with researchers, scholars, academics, and other interested third parties who wish to study the Wikimedia Sites. Sharing this information helps them understand usage, viewing, and demographics statistics and patterns. They then can share their findings with us and our users so that we can all better understand and improve the Wikimedia Sites.

When we give access to personal information to third-party developers or researchers, we put requirements, such as reasonable technical and contractual protections, in place to help ensure that these service providers treat your information consistently with the principles of this Policy and in accordance with our instructions. If these developers or researchers later publish their work or findings, we ask that they not disclose your personal information. Please note that, despite the obligations we impose on developers and researchers, we cannot guarantee that they will abide by our agreement, nor do we guarantee that we will regularly screen or audit their projects. (You can learn more about re-identification in our FAQ.)

మీరు దాన్ని బహిరంగపరిచారు కాబట్టి

Any information you post publicly on the Wikimedia Sites is just that – public. For example, if you put your mailing address on your talk page, that is public, and not protected by this Policy. And if you edit without registering or logging into your account, your IP address will be seen publicly. Please think carefully about your desired level of anonymity before you disclose Personal Information on your user page or elsewhere.

మీ డేటాను ఎలా సంరక్షిస్తాము?

We strive to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We use a variety of physical and technical measures, policies, and procedures (such as access control procedures, network firewalls, and physical security) designed to protect our systems and your Personal Information. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as completely secure data transmission or storage, so we can't guarantee that our security will not be breached (by technical measures or through violation of our policies and procedures).

We will never ask for your password by email (but may send you a temporary password via email if you have requested a password reset). If you ever receive an email that requests your password, please let us know by sending it to privacy@wikimedia.org, so we can investigate the source of the email.

మీ సమాచారాన్ని ఎంత కాలము నిలువ ఉంచుతాము?

Once we receive Personal Information from you, we keep it for the shortest possible time that is consistent with the maintenance, understanding, and improvement of the Wikimedia Sites, and our obligations under applicable U.S. law. Non-personal information may be retained indefinitely. (Check out the list of examples in our FAQ.)

Please remember that certain information, such as your IP address (if you edit while not logged in) and any public contributions to the Wikimedia Sites, is archived and displayed indefinitely by design; the transparency of the projects’ contribution and revision histories is critical to their efficacy and trustworthiness. To learn more about our data retention practices, see our data retention guidelines. For further information about how you may request access to or deletion of your Personal Information, or other rights you may have with respect to your Personal Information, see our FAQ.

For the protection of the Wikimedia Foundation and other users, if you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you may not use the Wikimedia Sites.

ఫౌండేషన్ ఎక్కడుంది? నాకది ఏ విధంగా సంబంధం?

The Wikimedia Foundation is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California, with servers and data centers located in the U.S. If you decide to use Wikimedia Sites, whether from inside or outside of the U.S., you understand that your Personal Information will be collected, transferred, stored, processed, disclosed and otherwise used in the U.S. as described in this Privacy Policy. You also understand that your information may be transferred by us from the U.S. to other countries, which may have different or less stringent data protection laws than your country, in connection with providing services to you.

Do Not Track (DNT) సూచికలకు మా స్పందన

We are strongly committed to not sharing nonpublic information and Personal Information with third parties. In particular, we do not allow tracking by third-party websites you have not visited (including analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms), nor do we share your Personal Information with any third parties for marketing purposes. Under this Policy, we may share your information only under particular situations, which you can learn more about in the “When May We Share Your Information” section of this Privacy Policy.

ఈ గోప్యతా విధానానికి మార్పులు

Because things naturally change over time and we want to ensure our Privacy Policy accurately reflects our practices and the law, it may be necessary to modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We reserve the right to do so in the following manner:

  • In the event of substantial changes, we will provide the proposed changes to our users in at least three (3) languages (selected at our discretion) for open comment period lasting at least thirty (30) calendar days. Prior to the start of any comment period, we will provide notice of such changes and the opportunity to comment via the Wikimedia Sites, and via a notification on WikimediaAnnounce-L or a similar mailing list.
  • For minor changes, such as grammatical fixes, administrative or legal changes, or corrections of inaccurate statements, we will post the changes and, when possible, provide at least three (3) calendar days' prior notice via WikimediaAnnounce-L or similar mailing list.

We ask that you please review the most up-to-date version of our Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Wikimedia Sites after this Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Policy on your part. Your continued use of the Wikimedia Sites after any subsequent version of this Privacy Policy becomes effective, following notice as outlined above, constitutes acceptance of that version of the Privacy Policy on your part.
