Legal:GLAM Donation Survey Privacy Statement

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 Qualtrics, which means Qualtrics' use of your information is governed by their Privacy Statement and Terms of Service. If you opt to respond to this survey via email or direct conversation instead of taking it on Qualtrics, the rest of this privacy statement will still apply.

Purpose of Survey

We appreciate your feedback! This survey will help us better understand the process and experience of donating GLAM media to the Wikimedia projects.

What Information We Collect

This survey collects the 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, for the purpose of open analysis, research, and study, in the following manner. Aggregate data about the defined-response questions, and anonymized raw answers to the free-form response questions, will be published. For that reason, we strongly suggest that you do not provide your real name, username, email address, or other personal information in response to any questions.

The raw collected data will only be shared with the Wikimedia staff and volunteer researchers 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.

Important Information

Wikimedia is a global organization committed to promoting free and open knowledge. By participating in this study, you agree to the transfer, storage, and use of the collected information to the United States and other places as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and objectives discussed above. You also consent to the transfer of information from the U.S. to other countries, which may have different or less stringent data protection laws than your country, in order to carry out the aforementioned purposes and objectives.

Wikimedia understands the importance of user privacy. For this reason, we work to protect our users from the unauthorized disclosure or use of information we maintain. The results of this survey may be retained indefinitely. See our data retention guidelines for more information.
