This is NOT our privacy policy, but rather a discussion about one.
Here is what arlen wrote:
Wikispot will not:
-
Disclose your personal information to anyone unless legitimately supoenaed to do so
-
What does "personal information" mean? What is "personal" on the wiki on an account level? How about on a wiki level?
-
Read private portions of your wiki
-
What does read mean? How about for administrative purposes? Okay, so we won't go trolling around on wikis' private pages, but from an administrative perspective we do have access to the private pages and so forth, and we might see it. We won't go seeking it out, but it's there and saying we "won't read it" might be prohibitive to doing things like looking at DB dumps, watching and looking through logs, etc.
-
Disclose private portions of your wiki to third parties
-
Doesn't this, if made more precise, cover the above?
What is "private information?" What things does wiki spot tell the outside world about:
-
You as anyone who visits wiki spot
-
You as an account holder on wiki spot
-
Your wiki and the contents of your wiki on wiki spot
We have:
-
Cookies. IP addresses associated with edits. Aggregated searches (non-specific).
-
We show all edits for all to see, for the most part. IP addresses for edits.
-
...
Won't give away to any third parties:
-
Your email address
-
Your password
-
...
There's a lot more. It might be better to leave this empty and delete this page rather than have a non-complete, sketchy privacy policy when we launch. Privacy policies aren't legal requirements.
