This statement describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants.
Please note that this survey is powered by SurveyMonkey, which means SurveyMonkey's use of your information is governed by their Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Purpose of Survey
We appreciate your participation! This survey will collect your feedback on our annual year-end fundraising campaign.
What Information We Collect
This survey collects responses you provide to the questions asked. There are two types of answers: defined responses, and free-form responses.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
The results of this survey will be shared publicly in the following manner: aggregate data about the defined-response questions, and a sample of anonymized raw answers to the free-form response questions, may be published at meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising or in other public communications from the Advancement team. For that reason, we strongly suggest that you do not provide your username, email address, or other personal information in response to any questions. Raw data will only be shared with the Wikimedia staff and contractors who need to process this information and are subject to non-disclosure obligations, with the exception of the circumstances described below.
We may disclose any collected information when required by law, when we have your permission, when needed to protect our rights, privacy, safety, users, or the general public, and when necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or any other Wikimedia policy.
Licensing of Survey Responses
By answering the free-form response questions, you agree that we may record your answers, and agree to donate them to the public domain under the terms of Creative Commons Zero 1.0 (full text available at creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
