Wookieepedia:Privacy policy

Wookieepedia is hosted by Fandom, Inc., a commercial company incorporated in Delaware, United States. As such, the operation of Wookieepedia falls under the United States law and under Fandom policies, including the company's privacy policy. The following three sections do not apply to any personal information that you explicitly make public by posting it on Wookieepedia. It applies to information published indirectly by the fact you view and edit Wookieepedia.

The server logs record IP addresses and user agent strings of all users, registered or not. These are not, by themselves, made public; they are only used to aggregate data for the public Fandom statistics, and for CheckUser requests (see below). For details, refer to the Fandom Terms of Use and privacy policy.

The term "Wookieepedia community" includes all of Wookieepedia's anonymous users, registered users, administrators, and bureaucrats.

Although Wookieepedia administrators do not normally have direct access to the database of registered users' IP addresses, they can under certain circumstances submit a CheckUser request to a Fandom staff member. Additionally, certain administrators may be granted CheckUser permissions by Fandom following a Request for CheckUser vote, and a list of current individuals with the permission can be found here. For details, see Help:CheckUser.

Registered users are required to provide an email address when creating an account with Fandom. This email address can be found in your personal preferences, where you can determine what types of email notifications you receive from Fandom. Your email address is never visible to other users on the Fandom network, and Wookieepedia administrators will never ask you for your email address.

When contacting Wookieepedia, whichever email address you choose to communicate with will be visible to the Wookieepedia administration, but Wookieepedia administrators will never publicly reveal or otherwise share your email address.

Wookieepedia affords a reasonable expectation of privacy to its registered users who communicate via email. Email transcripts involving one or more Wookieepedia users may not be publicly shared in any manner without the express consent of all parties involved in the transcript's discussion(s). This privacy protection does not apply to unregistered users, users banned from Wookieepedia, or users who have not edited Wookieepedia in more than five (5) years.

Wookieepedia affords a reasonable expectation of privacy to its registered users who utilize Discord. While all public discussions in the Wookieepedia Discord server are considered part of the public record, private communications that registered users hold with others on Discord may not be publicly disseminated, with certain exceptions. See the "Rules" section of Wookieepedia:Discord for more information.

Wookieepedia affords a reasonable expectation of privacy to individuals who send private communications to the site's social media accounts. Such communications may not be publicly disseminated without express consent from both parties. The following provisions apply:

Removing text from Wookieepedia does not permanently delete it. In normal pages, anyone can look at a previous version and see what was there. If a page is "deleted," any administrator can see what was deleted. Revisions containing undesired personal information may be oversighted by Fandom staff, making them unrestorable and only visible to staff members.
