If you read content from any Wiki Federation hosted wiki, no more information is collected than is typically collected in server logs by web sites in general. If you contribute to Wiki Federation, you are publishing every word you post publicly. If you write something, assume that it will be retained forever. This includes content pages, user pages, and talk pages. all information publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from which such content originated. Wiki Federation cannot guarantee the identity of any other users with whom you may interact in the course of using the Services.

By using this website, your IP address can be stored and processed for security reasons. Your Username, confirmed email, or IP address may be saved in the server log files, CMS log files, recorded in article history and stored in corresponding hosted wiki database, tracked in order to Roll back edits, used for Anti-Spam & Security purposes, sent to third party Anti-Spam & Security log files for processing, self hosted Analytics services, third party Analytics services, third party Anti-Spam & Security services, third party ad services [not currently applicable]. A confirmed email is required in order to edit; this is enforced for Anti-Spam and Security purposes.

Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy

Wiki Federation reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time (for example to reflect updates to Wiki Federation Services or to reflect changes in the law). Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for those changes. Your continued use of Wiki Federation Services after the posting of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes.

We will not materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of personal information collected in the past under a prior version of the Privacy Policy without the consent of affected individuals

Server Logs

The only information that our servers automatically log is your IP address, current time in unix, operating system, browser, and the pages visited along with any actions performed.

Actions (edit, delete, protect, block, upload) that registered users perform are publicly logged, appear in Special:RecentChanges & Special:log, listed as a revision in the page's history, and the user's contribution page (Special:Contributions/username).

System Administrators will not access the logs unless actual disruptive activity occurs.

Log data may be examined by System Administrators in the course of solving technical problems and in tracking down malicious web spiders that overwhelm the site. IP addresses of users, derived either from those logs or from records in the database are frequently used to correlate usernames and network addresses of edits in investigating abuse of the site, including the suspected use of malicious "sockpuppets" (duplicate accounts where one person logs into Wiki Federation under different names), vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruption of the site.

This log data is treated as confidential and is not shared with other people. However, keep in mind that this information can be intercepted by services that come between the device you use to browse Wiki Federation and our servers, such as a proxy server. To protect you from this, we use encryption (TLS, SSL) between your device and our servers to prevent someone from seeing the communication. We always encourage you to check that the connection is secure and that your browser does not alert you of any certificate error.

Collection of Personal Information

The only personal information collected automatically by the software used by this Site are your IP address and email. There is strict access to your IP and email, only staff and Guardians, whom watch over hosted wikis, will have access. If you are unwilling to have your IP tracked; please do not edit, continue to maintain a registered account, or continue to visit this Site.

If you do not make an account on any hosted wiki, there is no necessity to accept cookie requests from this Site.

The system administrator will then run the appropriate checks on the emails or IPs located. Very rarely will this event need to be considered and is a last resort.
