Wikimedia Foundation Data Retention Guidelines
Introduction
डेटा महत्वपूर्ण होता है। यह उन बहुत से तरीकों में से एक है जिससे हम एक संस्था और आन्दोलन के रूप में सीख और आगे बढ़ सकते हैं, और कैसे हम परियोजनाओं को उन लोगों के लिए बेहतर बना सकते हैं जो उनका निर्माण करते, उनसे सीखते, और उन्हें साझा करते हैं। इसके साथ-साथ हम आपके निजी डेटा को सबसे सम्भव कम समय तक सहेज कर रखने के प्रति प्रतिबद्ध हैं जो विकिमीडिया साइटों की रख-रखाव, समझ, और सुधार क्रिया तथा अमेरिकी कानूनों के प्रति हमारी अनुग्रहीता के सुसंगत है (विकिमीडिया संस्थापन की निजता नीति से उद्धृत)।
यह दस्तावेज हमारे डेटा अवधारण, सिस्टम डिज़ाइन, और चल रहे अंकेक्षण और रखरखाव के दिशानिर्देशों का विवरण देकर इस बात का वर्णन करता है कि हम कैसे इस प्रतिबद्धता को पूरा करते हैं। ये दिशानिर्देश एक जीवित दस्तावेज माने जाने चाहिए - जो वर्तमान अवधारण प्रथाओं को दर्शाने के लिए समय-समय पर अद्यतित किए जाएँगे।
ये दिशानिर्देश किस डेटा पर लागू होते हैं?
ये दिशानिर्देश उन सभी असार्वजनिक डेटा पर लागू होते हैं जो हम विकिमीडिया साइटों से एकत्रित करते हैं जो निजता नीति के अन्तर्गत आते हैं।
हम कितने समय तक असार्वजनिक डेटा अवधारित रखते हैं?
जबतक अन्यथा निर्दिष्ट ना हों, हम निम्नलिखित प्रकार के डेटा को निम्नलिखित समयावधि से अधिक समय तक अवधारित नहीं रखते:

How long do we retain public data?
Wikimedia hosts Wikipedia and the associated projects as part of our mission to collect, document, and freely distribute the sum of human knowledge to the world. Accordingly, when you make a contribution to any Wikimedia Site, including on user or discussion pages, you are creating a permanent, public record of every piece of content added, removed, or altered by you. The page history will show when your contribution or deletion was made, as well as your username (if you are signed in) or your IP address (if you are not signed in). We may use your public contributions, either aggregated with the public contributions of others or individually, to create new features or data-related products for you, or to learn more about how the Wikimedia Sites are used. If you mistakenly included your personal information in a contribution to a Wikimedia Site and you would like to have it removed, please consult the community's oversight policy. Keep in mind that the transparency and integrity of our sites' revision histories is essential to our mission, and the Foundation supports our community's right to reject oversight requests in order to protect the projects.
If you choose to register for an account with the Wikimedia projects, you will be asked to select a username. Usernames are retained until the user requests that the account be renamed, or goes through the community courtesy vanishing process.
For more information, see our Privacy Policy.
परिभाषाएँ
इन मार्गदर्शिकाओं के उद्देश्य के लिए
- "Personal information"अर्थात आपके द्वारा दी गयी व यहाँ संचित वह जानकारी जो की आपकी व्यक्तिगत पहचान के लिए प्रयोग की जा सके। स्पष्टतः,जबकि हम ऐसी जानकारी आवश्यक रूप से संचित नहीं करते,हम इसे "personal information" मानते है अगर यह गुप्त है और आपकी पहचान के के लिए प्रयुक्ता हो सकती है।
- Some examples of "public information" would include:
- (a) your IP address, if you edit without logging in;
- (b) your gender, if it is disclosed under your user profile;
- (c) any personal information you disclose publicly on the Wikimedia Sites, such as your real name or age.
- Some examples of types of information that are considered to be "nonpublic information" include:
- (a) your IP address, if you edit while logged in;
- (b) your email address, if you provided one to us during account registration (but did not post it publicly); and
- (c) your general location information as might be derived from your IP address, if you have not posted it publicly. The types of information that are considered "nonpublic" as opposed to "public" are more fully explained in our Privacy Policy.
- Data is "de-identified" when it has been aggregated or otherwise retained in a manner such that it can no longer be used to identify the user.
- Data is "aggregated" when the data associated with a specific user has been combined with data from others to show general trends or values without identifying specific users.
डेटा कैसे एकत्रित किया जा सकता है का उदाहरण जिसमें सम्मिलित है:
- विशिष्ट संख्याओं के बजाए पंक्ति-श्रृंखलाओं का उपयोग, जैसे यह दर्ज करना कि "क देश में ख भाषा में १ से १० के बीच सम्पादक" बजाए के यह दर्ज करने के कि "क देश में ख भाषा में ४ सम्पादक हैं"।
Terms that are not defined in this document have the same meaning given to them in the Privacy Policy.
इन दिशानिर्देशों में अपवाद
यदि हम इन देशानिर्देशों में कोई अपवाद छोड़ते हैं, तो हम समुदाय को उन अपवादों के बारे में इस पृष्ठ पर सूचित करेंगे।
- Data may be retained in system backups for longer periods of time, not to exceed 5 years.
- When we conduct a survey or other research, we will provide you with a privacy statement specifying the term of retention for information (including personal information) collected through your participation in such research. In certain cases, information may be retained indefinitely for educational, development, or other related purposes, unless otherwise indicated in the relevant privacy statement. Such information may be retained in raw, aggregated, or de-identified form until we receive a request from the participant to delete the information.
- Research related to COVID-19: The Wikimedia Foundation Research team is conducting research regarding COVID-19 and its impact on Wikipedia. Retaining de-identified readership data from COVID-19 related articles will enable us to better understand how to prioritize content creation, to understand what happens to readership when there is a "shock to the system", and to empower the research community to answer such questions. By "COVID-19 related articles", we mean articles that link to the COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 and 2019-2020 COVID-19 pandemic Wikidata items. For comparison purposes, we will retain data from a small number of articles unrelated to COVID-19 as well. In order to collect sufficient data, and obtain a picture of readership as time passes, we will be retaining this de-identified data beyond the 90-day retention limit, for a period of one year, ending on March 1, 2021. (Note that this includes a one-month extension due to staffing changes, in order to allow for the project's completion.). For technical details about the sampling and de-identification process, please see the project page on GitHub.
- Editing research: There is a short-term extension applying to data collected as part of experimental features to improve replying on talk pages. In order to collect and analyze sufficient data, this data must be kept beyond the standard 90-day period. The retained data will be deleted, aggregated, or de-identified within 180 days.
- Campaign landing pages: for certain events, campaigns, or marketing channels, users may create accounts on special landing pages. After creating their account on those pages, the association between their account and its source may be retained indefinitely, both to provide a good user experience for that account and for longitudinal analysis on campaign effectiveness. For more information, contact mmiller
wikimedia.org. - CampaignEvents extension: An exception exists for data collected by the CampaignEvents extension. The extension collects the global user IDs of event organizers and event participants, as well as which events users organized or attended and when participants registered for an event. In order for the extension features to work consistently, data collected by the CampaignEvents extension may be retained indefinitely.
- Sound logo contest: There is a short-term extension applying to data collected as part of contest entries to allow the brand studios team to evaluate entries in preparation for announcing the winner in February 2023. The retained data will be deleted, aggregated or de-identified within 90 days after the winner is announced.
- In rare cases, we, or particular users with certain administrative rights as described in our Privacy Policy, may need to retain your personal information, including your IP address and user agent information, for as long as reasonably necessary (which may be longer than the period described in the table above) to:
- enforce or investigate potential violations of our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy, or any Foundation or user community-based policies;
- investigate and defend ourselves against legal threats or actions;
- help protect against vandalism and abuse, fight harassment of other users, and generally try to minimize disruptive behavior on the Wikimedia Sites;
- prevent imminent and serious bodily harm or death to a person, or to protect our organization, employees, contractors, users, or the public; or
- detect, prevent, or otherwise assess and address potential spam, malware, fraud, abuse, unlawful activity, and security or technical concerns.
Audits and improvements
The Foundation is committed to continuous evaluation and improvement of these guidelines, and to periodic audits in order to identify such improvements. As we make changes to existing and systems, we will update these guidelines to reflect our changing practices.
Design of new systems
In order to support these data retention periods and our overall privacy policy, new tools and systems implemented by the Foundation will be designed with privacy in mind. This will include:
- डिजाइन प्रक्रिया के दौरान आवश्यकताओं के रूप में इन डेटा प्रतिधारण दिशा निर्देशों का समावेश;
- डिजाइन और विकास प्रक्रिया के दौरान कानूनी परामर्श, और
- कोड समीक्षा प्रक्रिया में गोपनीयता विचारों का समावेश।
एकत्र नई जानकारी का प्रबन्धन
नई प्रणालियों के डिज़ाइन और परिनियोजन करने के हमारे सर्वोत्तम प्रयासों के बावजूद भी, हम कभी-कभार निजी जानकारी इस प्रकार दर्ज कर सकते हैं जो इन दिशानिर्देशों के अनुपालन से मेल नहीं खाती। यदि हमें ऐसी किसी भूल का पता लगता है, तो हम यथासमय दिशानिर्देशों के अनुपालनानुसार जैसा उपयुक्त हो जानकारी को विलोपित, एकत्रित, या अनामित कर देंगे।
