== Introduction ==

To make this Policy easier to understand, here are some definitions:

=== Scope ===

Examples of services not covered by this Policy are third-party platforms such as search engines and services we use but don't operate, such as our [{{Discord link}} Discord server] and [https://ko-fi.com/nonbinarywiki Ko-Fi page]. These sites are governed by their own Privacy Policies.

== 1. Information collected by the Nonbinary Wiki Project ==

Additionally, we always collect your IP address and store it in private.

== 2. Protection ==

If you have an account, your email address is stored until you change your account settings. If you make contributions without logging into an account, your IP address will be generally stored and made public indefinitely. The transparency of the project's contribution and revision histories is critical to its efficacy and overall mission.

== 3. Email communications ==

When you use EmailUser to send a message, we will send an email to the recipient of your choice which includes your email address and the content you chose to send. Your email address is not revealed when other users contact you. EmailUser functionality may be enabled or disabled on the Preferences page.

== 4. When do we share your information? ==

=== 4.4 To protect you, ourselves, and others ===

The Nonbinary Wiki is a collaborative site, managed by volunteers who hold certain administrative rights. These rights may include access to limited amounts of otherwise nonpublic information about recent contributions and activity by other users. We use this information to help protect against vandalism and abuse, fight harassment of other users, and minimize disruptive behavior on the Wiki.

=== 4.7 Transfer or acquisition ===

In the unlikely event the ownership of the Project is transferred to, or acquired by another organization, we will transfer any necessary information in our possession to the other organization as part of the transfer process.

== 5. Children ==

We do not operate any service targeted at people under 13 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has registered an account to the Wiki without your permission, please let us know and we will remove your child's information.

== 6. Transfer of information across borders ==

The Nonbinary Wiki Project has its servers in Quebec, Canada. If you decide to use the Nonbinary Wiki, whether from inside or outside Canada, you understand that your personal information will be collected, transferred, stored, processed, and used in Canada as described in this Privacy Policy. You also understand that your information may be transferred by us from Canada to other countries, which may have different or less stringent data protection laws than your country, in connection with providing services to you. By using the Wiki, you consent to any such transfer of your information.

== 7. Copies, amendments, and erasure of personal information ==

In order to make any of these requests, please contact us at [email protected].

== 8. Security notifications ==

You have the right to be notified of any security breach we suffer that exposes your personal information. We will make public disclosures of security breaches that we uncover on the Wiki. If it is likely that your information has been exposed, and you have provided us with your email, we will send email notifications about the breach to you.

== 9. Changes to this Privacy Policy ==

=== 9.3 Acceptance of changes to the Policy ===

By continuing to use the Wiki after any changes have been posted and announced, you accept any modifications to the Policy.  

== 10. Disclaimer ==

The Project does not maintain individual contracts with the third parties to whom personal information may be transmitted. Furthermore, as an all-volunteer organization, we lack the resources to conduct formal legal reviews of policy documents published by said third parties. Therefore, we can make no guarantee against unintended harm caused by a third party's uses of data we share, nor against policy breaches by individuals with access, authorized or unauthorized, to private information.
