Wikiversity:Privacy policy

From Wikiversity

This page is a proposed Wikiversity policy, guideline, or process. The proposal may still be in development, under discussion, or in the process of gathering consensus for adoption. References or links to this page should only describe it as a "proposal".

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) Privacy Policy can be found at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.

While this is not explicitly Wikiversity's policy, this WMF policy should certainly be followed as a strongly recommended guideline for this project until something more explict is needed and created.

[edit] Under the age of 13

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule of the Federal Trade Commission was created in response to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). COPPA was designed to regulate online collection of personal information about children under 13 years of age.

If you edit Wikiversity and if you are under 13 years of age do not post personal information about yourself such as your age, your full name and where you live. Such information serves no purpose at Wikiversity.

Wikiversity encourages all participants to share general information about their learning goals and experiences. If you are uncertain about how to do so without mentioning personal information such as your age, then a "safe" option is to make use of standardized "userbox" templates. See Wikiversity:Userboxes.
