Personværnerklæring

This version of the Privacy policy was approved in October 2008 by the Board of Trustees. Next version was approved in the June 2014.

Det forespørres at denne siden blir oversatt og flyttet til Wikimedia Foundations nettsider, hvor den lenkes fra bunnen (MediaWiki:Copyright) av hver side.

Sammendrag

Om du kun er en leser på Wikimedia-prosjektene, lagres ingen ytterligere informasjon om deg enn det som vanligvis lagres i tjenerlogger på nettsider generelt.

Om du bidrar på Wikimedia-prosjektene, utgir du hvert ord du poster offentlig. Om du skriver noe, anta at det vil bli tatt vare på for alltid. Dette inkluderer artikler, brukersider og diskusjonssider. Noen begrensede unntak beskrives nedenfor.

Å utgi noe på wikien og offentlig data

Å besøke nettsiden vil ikke framvise din identitet offentlig (men se privat logging nedenfor).

Når du redigerer en side relatert til wikien, utgir du et dokument. Dette er en offentlig handling, og du identifiseres offentlig med den redigeringen som dens forfatter.

Identifisering av en forfatter

Når du utgir en side på wikien, kan du enten være logget inn eller ikke.

Om du er logget inn vil du bli identifisert med brukernavnet ditt. Dette kan være ditt virkelige navn om du ønsker det, eller du kan velge å utgi under et psevdonym, avhengig av hva slags brukernavn du valgte da du regsitrerte kontoen.

Om du ikke logger inn, vil du bli identifisert ved hjelp av ditt nettverks IP-adresse. Dette er en serie på fire nummer som identifiserer internettadressen du kontakter wikien fra. Dette nummeret kan spores til din internettleverandør, din skole, jobb, eller hjem, avhengig av tilkoblingen du bruker. Denne IP-adressen kan muligens brukes i forbindelse med hvilke interesser du uttrykker implisitt eller eksplisitt ved å redigere artikler til å identifisere deg, også av privatpersoner.

Det kan både være vanskelig og lett for en motivert person å forbinde IP-adressen din med din virkelige identitet. Så om du er veldig opptatt av personvern, er det lurest å logge inn og utgi tekst under et psevdonym.

Når du bruker et psevdonum vil ikke IP-adressen din bli tilgjengelig offentlig utenom i saker angående misbruk, inkludert hærverk på wikisider av deg eller andre brukere med samme IP-adresse. Uansett vil IP-adressen din lagres på wikiens tjenere, og vil kunne ses av Wikimedias tjeneradministratorer og av brukere med «checkuser»-tilgang. IP-adressen din og dens forbindelse til andre brukernavn som bruker den, kan bli frigitt under visse forutsetninger (se nedenfor).

If you use a company mail server from home or telecommute and use a DSL or cable Internet connection, it is likely to be very easy for your employer to identify your IP address and find all of your IP based Wikimedia project contributions. Using a user name is a better way of preserving your privacy in this situation. However, remember to log out or disconnect yourself after each session using a pseudonym on a shared computer, to avoid allowing others to use your identity.

Cookies

The wiki will set a temporary session cookie (PHPSESSID) whenever you visit the site. If you do not intend to ever log in, you may deny this cookie, but you cannot log in without it. It will be deleted when you close your browser session.

More cookies may be set when you log in, to avoid typing in your user name (or optionally password) on your next visit. These last up to 30 days. You may clear these cookies after use if you are using a public machine and don't wish to expose your username to future users of the machine. (If so, clear the browser cache as well.)

Passwords

Many aspects of the Wikimedia projects' community interactions depend on the reputation and respect that is built up through a history of valued contributions. User passwords are the only guarantee of the integrity of a user's edit history. All users are encouraged to select strong passwords and to never share them. No one shall knowingly expose the password of another user to public release either directly or indirectly.

Private logging

Every time you visit a web page, you send a lot of information to the web server. Most web servers routinely maintain access logs with a portion of this information, which can be used to get an overall picture of what pages are popular, what other sites link to this one, and what web browsers people are using. It is not the intention of the Wikimedia projects to use this information to keep track of legitimate users.

These logs are used to produce the site statistics pages; the raw log data is not made public, and is normally discarded after about two weeks.

Here's a sample of what's logged for one page view:

64.164.82.142 - - [21/Oct/2003:02:03:19 +0000]
"GET /wiki/draft_privacy_policy HTTP/1.1" 200 18084
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_projects:Village_pump"
"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/85.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/85.5"

Log data may be examined by developers in the course of solving technical problems and in tracking down badly-behaved web spiders that overwhelm the site. IP addresses of users, derived either from those logs or from records in the database are frequently used to correlate usernames and network addresses of edits in investigating abuse of the wiki, including the suspected use of malicious "sockpuppets" (duplicate accounts), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruption of the wiki.

Policy on release of data derived from page logs

It is the policy of Wikimedia that personally identifiable data collected in the server logs, or through records in the database via the CheckUser feature, may be released by the system administrators or users with CheckUser access, in the following situations:

1. In response to a valid subpoena or other compulsory request from law enforcement
2. With permission of the affected user
3. To the chair of Wikimedia Foundation, her legal counsel, or her designee, when necessary for investigation of abuse complaints.
4. Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or bot and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical issues.
5. Where the user has been vandalising articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers
6. Where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the Wikimedia Foundation, its users or the public.

Wikimedia policy does not permit public distribution of such information under any circumstances, except as described above.

Sharing information with third parties

Except where otherwise specified, all text added to Wikimedia projects is available for reuse under the terms of the GFDL, except for Wikinews, where the text is available under a Creative Commons License.

Wikimedia will not sell or share private information, such as email addresses, with third parties, unless you agree to release this information, or it is required by law to release the information.

Security of information

The Wikimedia Foundation makes no guarantee against unauthorized access to any information you provide. This information may be available to anyone with access to the servers. A partial list of those people can be found in the developers list.

E-mail, mailing lists and IRC

E-mail

You may provide your e-mail address in your Preferences and enable other logged-in users to send email to you through the wiki. Your address will not be revealed to them unless you respond, or possibly if the email bounces. The email address may be used by the Wikimedia Foundation to communicate with users on a wider scale.

If you do not provide an email address, you will not be able to reset your password if you forget it. However, you may contact one of the Wikimedia server administrators to enter a new mail address in your preferences.

You can remove your email address from your preferences at any time to prevent it being used.

Mailing lists

If you subscribe to one of the project mailing lists, your address will be exposed to any other subscriber. The list archives of most of Wikimedia's mailing lists are public, and your address may find itself quoted in messages. The list archives are also archived by Gmane and other services. Mails are usually not deleted or modified, but it may be done in extreme cases.

Information email addresses

Some email addresses (see below) may forward mail to a team of volunteers trusted by the Foundation to use a ticket system such as OTRS to view them and answer them. Mail sent to the system is not publicly visible, but is visible to this group of Wikimedia volunteers. By sending a mail to one of these addresses, your address may become public within this group. The ticket system team may discuss the contents of your mail with other contributors in order to best answer your query.

Addresses that direct to the ticket system system include:

• info-de AT wikipedia DOT org
• info-en AT wikipedia DOT org
• info-es AT wikipedia DOT org
• info-fr AT wikipedia DOT org
• info-it AT wikipedia DOT org
• info-nl AT wikipedia DOT org
• info-pl AT wikipedia DOT org

Mail to board members' private addresses may also be forwarded to the OTRS team.

IRC

IRC channels are not officially part of Wikimedia proper. By participating in an IRC channel, your IP address may be exposed to other participants. Different channels have different policies on whether logs may be published.

User data

Data on users, such as the times at which they edited and the number of edits they have made are publicly available via "user contributions" lists, and in aggregated forms published by other users.

Removal of user accounts

Once created, user accounts will not be removed. It may be possible for a username to be changed (depending on the policies of your local wiki and on the number of edits you have). The Wikimedia Foundation does not guarantee that a name will be changed on request.

Whether specific user information is deleted is dependant on the deletion policies of the project that contains the information.

Deletion of content

Removing text from Wikimedia projects does not permanently delete it. In normal articles, anyone can look at a previous version and see what was there. If an article is "deleted", any user with "administrator" access on the wiki, meaning almost anyone trusted not to abuse the deletion capability, can see what was deleted. Information can be permanently deleted by those people with access to the servers, but there is no guarantee this will happen except in response to legal action.
