Wiki.TerraBase.info:Privacy policy

Welcome!

Wiki.TerraBase.info is a free knowledge website. The information contained within is publicly available. Editing and contribution of new articles is restricted to authorized users.

This Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal information.

• We do not collect personal information about you.
• Google may collect tracking information that we use to analyze the use of our website.
• We do not rent or sell your information to anyone.

By using this site, you consent to this policies outlined in this article.

We want this website to benefit readers.

Even though we do not collect, transfer, process, store, or disclose any of your information, we reserve the right to do so. That is not meant to sound ominous and is not meant to upset our readers, but rather for legal purposes.

Similar to the Wikimedia websites, we believe that you shouldn't have to provide nonpublic personal information to participate in the free knowledge movement. You do not have to provide things like your real name, address, or date of birth to sign up for a standard account or contribute content to the Wikimedia Sites. We do not sell or rent your Personal Information, nor do we give it to others to sell you anything. Unlike the Wikimedia websites we are not large enough to be able to use it to figure out how to make the our site more engaging and accessible, to see which ideas work, and to make learning and contributing more fun. We recognize that only a minority of you are familiar with technical terms like “tracking pixels” and “cookies” used in the Privacy Policy. Whether you are brand new to privacy terminology or you are an expert who just wants a refresher, you might find the Glossary of Key Terms helpful.

Because everyone (not just lawyers) should be able to easily understand how and why their information is collected and used, like ours and the Wikimedia websites, we use common language instead of more formal terms throughout this Policy. To help ensure your understanding of some particular key terms, here is a table of translations:

What This Privacy Policy Does & Doesn't Cover

Except as explained below, this Privacy Policy applies to our collection and handling of information about you that we receive as a result of your use of any of the Wikimedia Sites. This Policy also applies to information that we receive from our partners or other third parties. To understand more about what this Privacy Policy covers, please see below.

For the sake of clarity, this Privacy Policy covers, regardless of language:

• This web site and the sister website www.TerraBase.info
• Any blogs and APIs (unless we have provided a separate policy for those services).
• Official mobile applications.
• Emails, SMS, and notifications from us or sent to us from you.

To understand more about what this Privacy Policy does not cover, please see below.

Where community policies govern information the relevant community may add to the rules and obligations set out in this Policy. However, they are not permitted to create new exceptions or otherwise reduce the protections offered by this Policy.

When you visit our site, we automatically receive the IP Address of the device you are using to access the Internet, which could be used to infer your geographical location.

Information Related to Your Use of the Wikimedia Sites

We do not store this information, however third parties may store it for analytical purposes, but it does not include personal information.

Information We Receive Automatically

Because of how browsers work, we receive some information automatically when you visit our site. This information includes the type of device you are using (possibly including unique device identification numbers, for some beta versions of our mobile applications), the type and version of your browser, your browser's language preference, the type and version of your device's operating system, in some cases the name of your internet service provider or mobile carrier, the website that referred you to the Wikimedia Sites, which pages you request and visit, and the date and time of each request you make to the Wikimedia Sites.

Personal Information We Collect

We do not collect personal information.

How We Use Personal Information We Receive From You

We do not use personal information from you.

GPS & Other Location Technologies

Our site does not use GPS or other location technologies, other than the above stated IP Address your device may send to us.

Metadata

As stated above, we may automatically receive location data from your device. Please be aware that the default setting on your mobile device typically results in the metadata associated with your device being sent to us. As a reminder, if you do not want metadata sent to us and made public at the time of your upload, please change your settings on your device.

IP Addresses

When you visit our site, we automatically receive the IP address of the device (or your proxy server) you are using to access the Internet, which could be used to infer your geographical location. We keep IP addresses confidential, except as provided in this Policy. If you are visiting our site with your mobile device, we may use your IP address to provide anonymized or aggregated information to service providers regarding the volume of usage in certain areas.

When May We Share Your Personal Information?

We do not share your personal information.

For Legal Reasons

We will disclose your information in response to an official legal process only if we believe it to be legally valid. We will notify you of such requests when possible.

We will access, use, preserve, and/or disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to satisfy a valid and legally enforceable warrant, subpoena, court order, law or regulation, or other judicial or administrative order. However, if we believe that a particular request for disclosure of a user's information is legally invalid or an abuse of the legal system and the affected user does not intend to oppose the disclosure themselves, we will try our best to fight it. We are committed to notifying you via email at least ten (10) calendar days, when possible, before we disclose your Personal Information in response to a legal demand. However, we may only provide notice if we are not legally restrained from contacting you, there is no credible threat to life or limb that is created or increased by disclosing the request, and you have provided us with an email address.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal objections or defenses you may have to a third party's request (whether it be civil, criminal, or governmental) to disclose your information. We recommend seeking the advice of legal counsel immediately if such a request is made involving you.

For more information, please review information about subpoenas.

File:WMF sign.png Important info

We are strongly committed to not sharing nonpublic information and Personal Information with anyone. We only allow tracking by third-party websites you man not have visited (including analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms), but we don't share or collect your Personal Information and share it with any third parties for any purposes.

Because we protect all users in this manner, we do not change our behavior in response to a web browser's "do not track" signal.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Substantial changes to this Policy will generally not be made.

Because things naturally change over time and we want to ensure our Privacy Policy accurately reflects our practices and the law, it may be necessary to modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We reserve the right to do so in the following manner:

• In the event of any changes, minor or substantial, we will make said changes.

We ask that you please review this version of our policy. Your continued use of the our site after this Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Policy on your part. Your continued use of our site after any subsequent version of this Privacy Policy becomes effective, following notice as outlined above, constitutes acceptance of that version of the Privacy Policy on your part.
