CBCWiki:Privacy policy

From CBCWiki

This Wiki's privacy policy is essentially the same as that of the Wikimedia Foundation, which is detailed at Wikimedia's privacy policy. Some essential points are abstracted here:

If you only read Wiki pages, no more information is collected than is typically collected in server logs by web sites in general. Simply visiting the web site does not expose your identity publicly.

If you contribute to the Wiki, you are publishing every word you post publicly. If you write something, assume that it will be retained forever. This includes articles, user pages and talk pages.

When you edit any page in the wiki, you are publishing a document. This is a public act, and you are identified publicly with that edit as its author.

Once created, user accounts will not be removed.

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.
