Privacy policy
Privacy policy officially adopted
The Wikimedia Foundation last week approved its privacy policy after two years of development. Although not a truly finished product, it apparently has progressed far enough along to be adopted officially.
On Sunday, Wikimedia Trustee Anthere reported that the Board of Trustees had approved the latest draft of the privacy policy at its last meeting. Translation of the policy into other languages is currently underway.
The privacy policy was originally drafted on Meta in February 2003, but progress in getting it adopted has been slow since then. At various points, efforts have been made to further develop and improve the policy, which has produced the current version of the text.
