In February of 2016 the Wikimedia foundation started sending information to all of the websites we link to that allow the owner of the website (or someone who hacks the website, or law enforcement with a search warrant / subpoena) to figure out what Wikipedia page the user was reading when they clicked on the external link.

{{editrequest}} This page is missing the summary seen currently at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy . caused by a move? --Elvey (talk) 06:06, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I see it correctly. It was fixed after that page move. Matiia (talk) 05:33, 18 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

== Enforcement ==52 03183 68

Who is responsible for enforcement of this policy. Regards, —Neotarf (talk) 18:17, 4 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ultimately, the relevant law enforcement authorities for privacy and/or contracts. http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm has some useful directories. Nemo 19:35, 4 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Interesting. There is also this--California seems to be very forward-thinking. But many people would prefer to go through channels internally, if one can only figure out what they are. —Neotarf (talk) 20:19, 4 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

== Data centers in U.S. ==52 03183 68

«servers and data centers located in the U.S.»

Is this phrase OK? I know that Wikimedia servers are also in Europe. --Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 21:27, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Template:Replyto, there are caching centres around the world, but these are widely regarded as 'temporary' storage, much like throwing some bytes over a line, it is a 'transitory' element and the legal framework for those types of connections is much more permissible around the world. Basically, their only function is to 'speedup' access, but we could do without them as well. The foundation's primary servers however are housed in the US.

== RfC Announce: Wikimedia referrer policy ==52 03183 68

In February of 2016 the Wikimedia foundation started sending information to all of the websites we link to that allow the owner of the website (or someone who hacks the website, or law enforcement with a search warrant / subpoena) to figure out what Wikipedia page the user was reading when they clicked on the external link.

The WMF is not bound by Wikipedia RfCs, but we can use an advisory-only RfC to decide what information, if any, we want to send to websites we link to and then put in a request to the WMF. I have posted such an advisory-only RfC, which may be found here:

en:Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/RfC: Wikimedia referrer policy

Please comment so that we can determine the consensus of the Wikipedia community on this matter. --Guy Macon (talk) 21:39, 10 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
