Talk:Privacy policy

We’d like to thank everyone who commented on the administrative and legal changes we recently made to our Privacy policy. We have read each of the comments, and we appreciate the time that went into reviewing the policy so closely, and providing both detailed feedback and general suggestions.

In particular, we heard two important principles in the discussion over the last 30 days:

Clear explanations of what changed: People requested a side-by-side comparison of the notable changes to the privacy policy, with explanations of why the changes were made.
Privacy by design: People asked for specific changes to protect user privacy be incorporated in software development. This is part of the privacy by design philosophy, which we're already integrating throughout the organization's work.

We have collected these ideas, have passed the ones involving technical changes on to our engineers, and are closely considering them. We may be making additional edits to the policy, in order to address some of these questions and suggestions. If so, we will announce those changes to the community and follow the provided process.

Thank you for providing feedback.

Privacy policy/be-taraskEdit

Hello, dear colleagues! How are you? On November 14th, I finished the Belarusian translation of the Privacy Policy. How do you add a link to the translation on the original page at the web-site of the Wikimedia Foundation? As there are other languages in the list of such links. Best wishes,--W (talk) 11:15, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[]

Minor updates todayEdit

Hello, all. Just a note to say that Legal's making a minor update to the privacy policies today. You can see the changes at this diff – all about wording, with no actual changes to privacy practices. There's also a new page at Privacy policy/Supplement.

I've got professional translations to import (these languages: Deutsch • ‎Kiswahili • ‎Tiếng Việt • ‎español • ‎français • ‎italiano • ‎português do Brasil • ‎русский • ‎العربية • ‎हिन्दी • ‎বাংলা • ‎中文 • ‎日本語 for Privacy policy, Privacy policy/Supplement, Privacy policy/Summary, Privacy policy/Definitions, and Privacy policy/what policy doesn't cover), but I'm going to eat lunch first and come back to this with fresh eyes. I don't have translations for the Privacy policy/FAQ. (Maybe I'll post that before I eat lunch, so anyone who's interested can get started on those changes.) The whole process will probably take me a couple of hours, or maybe it won't be finished until tomorrow.

Please ping me if you have questions about the translations. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:41, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[]

It looks like there is a Hindi translation only for Privacy policy/Supplement and not for the other pages. I'm done importing translations. Please feel free to improve on the imported translations, and to create the others.

I'll check in tomorrow, in case anyone has questionss. Thanks, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 01:20, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[]

I removed Category:Policy proposals from this page. I think it stopped being a proposal about 15 years ago. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:54, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[]

DuplicateEdit

These are almost the same and one of them can be deleted:
