Talk:Privacy policy/IT guidelines

"People interacting with Wikimedia UK (members, board members, donors, staff and partners in general) deserve absolute privacy in their exchange with Wikimedia UK." - there's a tension here between privacy and transparency, which could do with expanding on. Privacy is only really important when it comes to confidential things that can't be made public for whatever reason, and it's only then that we should be aiming to keep things as private as they can be.

Hi Mike, not sure to understand you right, do you disagree with the sentence which directly follows the one you have quoted "As long as the contrary is not clearly announced, the data are private and should not be communicated to a third party."? Kelson (talk) 09:54, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand it, sorry! I'd suggest rewording "As long as the contrary is not clearly announced", as I'm not sure it means what you intend it to mean... Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:40, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I mean "As long as it is not clearly announced that a data is public and consequently might be shared", is that more clear? Kelson (talk) 17:57, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
