Wikimedia Foundation Confidentiality Agreement for Nonpublic Information
The Wikimedia Foundation approved a new Access to nonpublic personal data policy on 6 November 2018. In accordance with this policy, volunteers with access to nonpublic personal data (such as VRT volunteers, CheckUsers, Oversighters, and Stewards) are required to sign this confidentiality agreement in order to maintain or receive their access to nonpublic personal data. Instructions on how to sign the agreement are available. The Foundation shall not grant Foundation volunteer NDA recognition to applicant(s) for volunteer roles if the applicants live in jurisdictions that block(ed) access to Wikimedia projects AND there is reason to believe that their domicile is known to others than the individual applicant(s) and the Foundation. Exemptions may be granted in individual cases following a request for review by the Legal department. Granting such NDAs would put the applicant(s) as well as other volunteers relying on the Foundation's platform at undue risk. All NDA-based access rights granted to users fulfilling both criteria in the proposed adjustment shall be revoked at the point of policy adjustment. |

This includes community members with access to any tool that permits them to view nonpublic information about other users or members of the public, community members with the ability to access content or user information which has been removed from administrator view, and volunteer developers with access to nonpublic personal data. Authorized Wikimedia community members may include, for example, oversighters, checkusers, volunteer developers, and other similar authorized roles.
