the Meta checkuser policy or the checkuser page on Commons. Can you also

Regarding policy, Russavia is claiming that the CU results were given
to someone who wasnt a CU on Commons. In my experience sometimes that
happens in cross-wiki investigations, but it should not be given to
someone who isnt a CU anywhere, and it would be a very clear violation
of CU policy for it to have been given to someone who wasnt WMF
identified. It would be good if Russavia could clarify, and/or the OC
could confirm, that the person who received the CU data was WMF
identified at least.
i personally do not care about the russavia case in particular i must
say. but i care about the (non-)care of persons having access to
account data triggered by a bad policy. imo
* checkuser usage must be requested traceable
* checkuser usage must be done traceable
* data retrieved via checkuser usage must not be given outside the
persons authorized to have technical access right to this data anyway.
